《What the Green Bird Sees》February 14th - Lambent
Advertisement
Lambent (adjective): softly bright or radiant
The soft and glowing tentacles of the anemone reached again for the water’s surface, swaying with the currents but never touching the top. It waved and waved in a dream-like trance, as if waiting for someone.
It would seem like that someone was here again today.
A young girl with lovely pigtails appeared before the surface. The cherry-shaped clips in her hair looked distorted from underneath the water, but the wide grin on her face was unmistakable.
Strange yet excited syllables ran from her mouth, a youthful tone only an innocent child would have.
The anemone simply waved.
The little girl continued chatting but plopped herself down on the wooden deck. Some ripples fluttered away as her toes tipped into the water.
The anemone still waved, almost reaching further with its beautiful tentacles along the smooth current.
She stopped talking.
She bent down.
With her face much closer to the water, she began to talk again, more softly this time. Through the rippling water, her eyes seemed sad. It almost looked as if she wanted to take the anemone out of the water with her.
Without a warning, she slipped forward.
Sploosh!
As soon as the little girl fell splashing into the water, the anemone wrapped its tentacles around her in a loving embrace.

Mordheim: Servants of The Damned (A Warhammer Fantasy Fiction)
“The Great Library,” Stated the stranger with a pause. “You know of it?”“Of course I do. In the Merchant’s Quarter?”“Yes, in the Merchant’s Quarter. I have gathered that there is an… artefact of importance within its walls.” Slowly, the figure produced a rusted key from the furls of his robes and held it in a black-gloved hand. “This opens the door to its chambers. It is the grimoire of Gunnar von Krugenheim, and I believe that it would serve better in the world than locked away in a dusty room.” Behind the cursed walls of Mordheim, warbands and gangs of all stripes are embattled in constant wars for resources and power. The cursed city attracts throngs in the thousands, searching for treasures, artefacts, power, and sometimes all three. The Cult of the Hidden Brethren is no exception, and when an opportunity to extend their reach is discovered, the cultists are eager to take the opportunity. However, not all is set in stone, and soon the cultists discover that the lure of power alone may not be enough to give them the drive required to see their quest done... --- Mordheim: Servants of the Damned is a fanfiction set in the world of Warhammer Fantasy, which is not owned by me but by the company Games Workshop. I of course, lay claim to nothing in this story but the characters I have created, and the core events of the story itself. This is my first true foray into fantasy writing, let alone Warhammer Fantasy, therefore any feedback is welcome. (It should be noted as well, the cover art is merely an artwork I found online and is not mine, therefore I do not lay claim to that either.)
