The Eye That Never Sleeps - Dhormorth by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)

 

With the music :Vyapada by Secession Studios

  

youtu.be/GrwH4TtOQug?t=42

  

A figure moves slowly in the shadows, like a black cloak that spreads wherever it goes, in a space of time between the past and the future, which few can distinguish amidst the mists of an uncertain destiny.

Dhormorth ... a former guardian and master of the last Dark Sorcerers of Krudhyn, with the power to pass invisible they are only detectable by their shadow ... a dark legend that many prefer to remain lost in the labyrinth of times.

 

Without a body and much less a face, it seems to move with the breezes of the winter evenings before the storms, insinuating itself into men's thoughts and feeding their most hidden and secret dark desires ... and fears.

Legend has it that the Sorcerers are blind and always walked with a black crow with feathers with highlights of metallic blue, which are their eyes.

Truth or lie... what is certain is that black crows have been seen more frequently in recent times in the kingdom, as bad omens that foreshadow dark times...

Catherine closed her eyes but when she opened it timidly she did not see her not even that black cat ...

 

_________________ //______________

 

Naquela manhã lady Catherine deu o seu passeio matinal, estava uma cálida manhã sem vento, num silêncio apenas quebrado pelo barulho dos seus passos.

Quando a dado momento lhe surge um vulto de uma mulher junto aquele banco de cor vermelha. Estremeceu enquanto um arrepio de frio e uma brisa gélida lhe percorria o corpo, retrocedeu uns passos mas aquela figura continuava ali como se esperasse por ela.

Catherine fechou os olhos mas quando os abriu timidamente já não a viu, nem mesmo aquele gato preto ...

The Continuation of the series The Red Lady Of Chatterley Towers:

 

In that night, Lady Catherine fell asleep with difficulty, uncomfortable with the cold room but especially the old mansion with its noise of wood creaking and the ghostly howl of the wind singing through the wooden doors and windows.

 

But sleep was short, once again she awake frightened with that strange and terrifying personage with a mask ... all nights the same nightmare since it came to the mansion.

 

- Pursue me like a ghost! - She sighed as she composed herself in bed.

The ancient Archanes, a race of primordial beings, ancient people of a universe that no longer exists, they were for a long time the knowledge but also the balance between darkness and light. they shape and transform into cycles of thousands of years as chrysalises.

Very few left in the universe, distributed by some Strange Worlds lost in this vast Universe.

Two large elites dominated in the past, but antagonistic in balance, The Archanes Of Krohn and The Archanes Of Ordh, the first Dark Lords, the seconds Lords Of Light ... but this balance is long lost ... the Light has lost luster with the passing of time ...
