Chapter 2 - The Way Shadows Appear

Here is chapter 2 for you! I broke this one in half, as i most likely will be doing from now on. I will post the second half most likely later this week. Hope you all enjoy it!

Chapter 1 - A Mark to Remember

‘Often times in my day, when I look up, I cannot believe that the sky and the clouds are things of reality. It’s Like an oil painting spread above the earth as an elaborate canopy. The clouds that the scholars refer to as, Nimbus’, are breathtaking, especially when there are no storm clouds to be seen, and only white lines the sky. I can look up and try to imagine how high the sky really is, but those clouds put things into new perspective for me. The sky seems to literally bend upwards above the world, and then I can only wonder if perhaps the sky never stops climbing. But like looking into a deep pool, you can only see so far into it.’

-Layella Emerylis,

The third day of September, 1327

Opening - Dusk

“Sometimes when I look up, it doesn’t look like the clouds and the sky are actually real. I mean, they look just like a painting, a really well painted painting, but still. The clouds that the intellectuals call, Nimbus’, are somewhat breathtaking, especially when they’re white. I can look up and when I think I know how high the sky really is, those clouds put things into new perspective for me. The sky seems to literally bend upwards above the clouds, and then I can only wonder if perhaps the sky never stops going up, but like looking into deep water you can only see so far into it.
