In Marrowden, the cobblestones hummed with secrets, the river whispered of forbidden things, and the air was thick with the scent of rebellion. The elders preached conformity, their voices like brittle parchment, cracking under the weight of their own certainty. But beneath the stillness, a pulse of defiance throbbed—quiet, constant, waiting.
It was here, in the shadow of the old mill, that Elara first saw him.
Jorah—the poet, the exile, the man whose words could unravel a soul—stood at the river’s edge, boots sunken in mud, murmuring lines like spells into the dusk.
Elara, with raven-dark hair and storm-colored eyes, was no stranger to longing. At twenty-two, she had mastered the art of silence, the performance of obedience.
She had learned it the way all girls in Marrowden did—through correction, through watching, through fear. When the butcher’s son pulled her braid, she was told it meant he liked her. When the priest’s hand lingered too long during blessings, she was told to pray harder. At home, her mother taught her to pour tea without a ripple, to smile even when her stomach clenched.
But even then, Elara had felt it—the way her body pulled toward wildness. She’d lie beneath the old oaks, arms flung wide in the grass, imagining roots growing from her palms, the earth reclaiming her. She longed not just for touch, but for something raw, something that didn’t ask her to fold small. Something that would open her.
Jorah’s voice called to that part of her.
“Stone upon stone, they raise their walls,” he said,
“but we’ll tear them down with our calls...”
She stepped toward him, pulse quickening. The air between them thrummed.
“Your words,” she said, low, almost afraid to speak, “they burn me.”
Jorah turned. His hazel eyes found hers, pinning her like a verse she couldn’t escape. A slow, knowing smile curved his mouth.
“Good,” he said. “Let them.”
He stepped closer. The heat of his body reached her before his hands did.
“You’re not like them, Elara,” he murmured. “You’re alive.”
For a moment, her breath caught. She could walk away. She could return to her little house, to the stillness expected of her. But something in her—old as rivers, wild as moss—refused.
That night, under a conspiratorial moon, they met in the abandoned mill.
The scent of damp wood and old grain hung in the air, thick as breath in a cathedral. Moonlight spilled through broken slats, striping the floor in pale bars like a forgotten prison. The rafters above groaned with every gust, as if the mill were remembering itself. The silence between them stretched—not awkward, but sacred. Jorah’s hands—rough, calloused from ink and bark—found her waist and held her steady.
