The Ardent Dead

"Bird in the wood
Fish in the flood

I will go mad
Such sorrow I've had
For the best of bone and blood."

Fowles in the Frith
(Anonymous Medieval English Poem)

The Ardent Dead

A long-dead king awakes as a ghost only to find himself hunted by a fellow spirit, furious at him for a betrayal that he can not recall.

As he escapes through the ruins he once called home, the memories he had desperately buried begin to surface and the face of the monstrous being that pursues him becomes, to his horror, terribly familiar.
