Wherever she walks it is there. Turn one way and it is ahead. Turn another and there it is. In branches moving in the wind. In old houses where every step on the dusty floor brings a creak from the wood.    Afterglow is haunted and hunted, no matter where she goes.    Janet Kathryn Caldwell is traveling the nine realms, all the nine realms and even beyond, in search of meaning, of anything tangible that might make her life make sense. What she finds is more mystery, more dark corners waiting for her. One revelation opens up nine more closed boxes slapping her in the face, grinning to her like banshees in the night, in the mists and twilights of the world. The nine lands in the nine realms are different, they are the same. Afterglow brushes them like the wind, and sometimes like the storm, making a brief stop, before moving on, leaving ruins in its wake.    The Storm is coming. She knows this, beyond knowing, beyond certainty. Dark blades are cutting air, cutting flesh. An army of them is awaiting Afterglow, and she finds revelations, horrors and terrors aplenty, out there, on her way to nowhere. She does not know where she is going, only that she is going there, no matter what it takes, no matter where it may take her.    Lightning strikes deep below the ground in Afterglow's path.       Return to Midnight Fire Media main page Return to Firewind main page Return to The Nine main page       Images, text, music, art and web design Copyright Amos Keppler First night on the web 2019-07-27 The photographs on this site are taken with Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 and edited using Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop Illustrations/symbols were created in Illustrator.       CONTACT mail    IMPORTANT: To at least prevent automatic generated Spam the e-mail address above is fake or/and incomplete.
