Sometimes you have to kill things that don't deserve it. Sometimes being alive and comfortable means doing things you know are wrong. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is let innocence die.
And sometimes, you're wrong about everything I just said.
A story I started working on to try and write in a 'dark fantasy' sphere, taking inspiration from horror fantasy mangas and shounen, to try and offset some of the 'dark fantasy is when dragons and racism' cliché that I see in a lot of modern dark fantasy.
The hope here is to evoke a fantasy world with dark tendencies without falling into grimdark edginess. Let me know how I did.
