Fantasy Vignette - ASA

Art by Yuri Shwedoff

At the rocky shores of the edge of the world, he reined up, and breathed in the salty acrid air, and listened as the slow combers came on in their endless, soulless drones.

And looked up.

Walls as steep as intentions. Cupolas honed to points. Colors brown & white & greying away. The remnant sentinel of a shattered age. Turning his head from a burnt and skirling wind, he stepped down from his stirrup, and sat his haunches, and scrawled in the sand the temple’s ancient glyphs.

Shapes as old as man’s first myths.
