People say that love and obsession are two different things that are hardly related. Do you think the same? In reality, these are opposite sides of the same coin.

A Tale of Dark Lust

Suddenly the cart stops and I become worried. Why did it stop? We can't reach the town so soon. From what I remember, the town is quite far from the palace. What made the man stop the cart? I pray to God that it starts moving again.

/"Why have you not opened the gates? You seem to be new here. Open the gates so that we can go/". I hear the man’s voice. The gates did not open? Why? This means that we are still within the palace’s boundary.

/"I am not new. I am Barden, the head of all the soldiers who are appointed for the security of the palace’s boundary. The king has given me this position before leaving. The gates will not open unless we have checked the carts/". The man whose name is Barden speaks loudly. His voice held authority and he seemed a pretty serious man.
