In the deep woods of Aiatoba, five mercenaries sit around a fire, swapping stories and hiding their scars behind laughter. They are strangers bound by coin and caution-until the forest swallows one of them whole.
What begins as a quiet night in the wild turns into a slow unraveling of trust, memory, and flesh. Something ancient stirs beneath the moss and fog-watching, testing, waiting. These are not beasts that kill for hunger, but for understanding. And they are not done.
Kael, an aging elven warrior burdened by centuries of silence, finds himself facing a death he cannot rationalize. Esh'Kari, a hardened Canir huntress, must choose between loyalty and survival as the dark begins to close in. As their companions fall one by one, the line between bravery and futility vanishes.
This is not a tale of heroism. It is the story of what's left behind when courage is gone, when the fire is low, and when no one is coming to save you.
A standalone grimdark fantasy novella exploring death through fear, silence, and the slow disintegration of will.
J. Friess lives in Kansas with his wife and four daughters, where the chaos of family life meets the calm of late-night writing. A lifelong storyteller and graduate of English Literature and Creative Writing, he's spent over fifteen years shaping the world of Kanderon—a vast, emotionally rich fantasy realm rooted in myth and memory. His love for story began at the gaming table, where for years he made friends laugh, cheer, and cry with characters that felt like family. Now, he's bringing those stories to the page.
