    Where the Moon Hides.

    A colorful, abstract painting featuring layered triangular patterns with a predominantly black center, symbolizing the hidden aspects of the House of the Shadow.


    In the hush before the hunt,
    in the footfall that leaves no mark,
    we walk.

    The moon has a twin,
    silver-veiled and silent
    it hides behind us.

    We are not nameless,
    only forgotten on purpose.

    You will not see us coming.
    You will not hear our blades.
    But when danger slips through cracks,
    we are the cracks.

    Call us spies, ghosts, watchers
    but never enemies.

    We are the House of the Shadow.
    And we see what others won’t.

    A colorful abstract artwork featuring a series of concentric triangular shapes and stripes in green, orange, and purple, with a prominent black triangle at the center.
    Abstract artwork featuring concentric triangular patterns in vibrant colors, symbolizing layers of shadow and mystery.

    The Cursed Child: A Tale of Light and Storms

    Born not in shadow,

    but storm-split light.
    With wolves at his side.

    and fire for breath,
    He walks between day and the deepening night,
    A child of healing, a whisper of death.

    They called him cursed, they called him flame,
    Yet none could deny the spark in his palm.
    He bore no weapon, he sought no fame
    But the winds bent low to kiss his calm.

    When Drax lay broken, minds turned black,
    Taranis reached, and thunder wept.
    The fever fled, the soul came back
    And the child collapsed, as the forest slept.

    Now they watch him with fearful eyes,
    This babe who speaks in ancient tongue.


    Yet storms do not ask if the fire should rise…
    They rise because the world’s begun.
