The Heartwood Saga of the Old Ones

For once in a blue moon, saga appeared from the hidden caverns of the witch's den. Ever since Dreven had suggested that the once doted Forsaken should abandon the heartwood, Khasni had been infuriated with the idea. But now that Alduin was nowhere to be seen, she began to wonder if the cursed land was even worth her attention. She had led him to this place in the hopes that he would do the spirits' bidding; but she had been wrong. He had no interest, and such was far too evident.

Across the wilted lands, the lithe brown creature roamed. There was nothing she sought, but perhaps to relinquish the sight of this place from her view. It was a worthless thing, as where once it had been entirely invaluable. If only she had the ability.. the will, even, to go back and redo where she had begun. But she could not. And so- only one option remained: abandon the heartwood and whatever condemned souls she had invited within; for they had done the same to her.
