Forgotten Secrets – Part 1

The invisible tentacles of the morning chill crept through my thick layers of clothing, brushing against my skin like the unwanted caress of an old, painfully familiar love. The cold morning mocked the timid rays of Kalys and their attempts to warm the Wastes as it stirred to life. Most of them never reached the damp earth down here, lost amidst the shadows of dense vegetation and the scattered ruins of Ra’Tradaan. Like the bones of a long-forgotten corpse, greenish and rotted, the remnants of solitary walls, columns, and other unidentifiable structures protruded from between the intertwined trunks of ancient maaka trees and various low-lying local flora.

Our Wicked Game

Over the past year, the echoes of Anarand’aris have begun to take a new form: music. I’ve been crafting lyrics that dive deep into the lore of my fantasy world and the shadowed hearts of my characters, and I’m thrilled to start sharing them here.
“Our Wicked Game” in particular is a personal favorite. Designed as a high-tempo tango duet, it captures the razor-edged emotional tension between Kael and Ra’maen. It’s intended to be a desperate dance of power, desire, and deception.
Read through the lyrics below—I’d love to learn how you ‘hear’ the rhythm in your head!

Eternal Call

I wrote this beautiful song as an inspiration for Ra’maen’s own alluring melody that she uses to enchant Kael in the beginning of The Heart of Anarand Saga. The lyrics are a creative translation from the original language, Et’el, but I feel they represent precisely the spirit of her song. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

An Old Song

I sprinted toward the song, summoning all the strength I could muster. The distant, melancholic melody filled the air with a heady blend of longing, fear, and temptation. Ahead, the nocturnal forest unfolded like a half-forgotten dream, its shadowy branches clawing at the air like the restless hands of nameless phantoms. A cold wind swept past, brushing my face with whispers of long-forgotten promises.

Hunger

The radiance of the place drew him in with irresistible force, like a carrion worm lured by the sweetness of decaying flesh. It was almost blinding in its intensity, rendering the towering white spire’s outlines hazy and tantalizingly unreal. So much magic, so many humans whose blood and marrow thrummed with its presence. And they were only a stone’s throw away.

His entire being ached to go there, to step inside and surrender to an endless, unrestrained feast.
