Ballad:Old Paul And Old Tim
Old Paul and Old Tim were two aging men set on capturing the affection of one young woman—Emily. Their rivalry was not marked by charm, wealth, or wit, for they stood level in almost every regard: both were bold, old, and rather indistinct. To Emily, neither man held much more promise than the other; they simply existed as options in a world where choices were slim and expectations were high. She was not particularly swayed by either, and her affections were more influenced by external opinions—namely,…-

His skill is performed not in battle, but in display—an art form that no enemy challenges, yet one that remains astonishing. Across the sea in Calais, however, this daily exhibition draws scorn rather…

From the mouth of an old sailor, worn by time and sea, comes a confession wrapped in rhyme and eerie cheer.

Ballad: The Two Ogres
The Two Ogres reside deep within the enchanted grove of Wickham Wold, far from the reach of townsfolk and even farther from predictable morality.

The other, James M'Alpine, cloaks his cruelty behind a polished wit, rationalizing his delight in devouring well-behaved children with a twisted logic. Both ogres, though differing in targets, see themselves as upholders of balance in a world too eager to judge by…-

Ballad: The Two Majors
The Two Majors introduces a peculiar bond shared by two stern yet admired military officers whose command style thrives on discipline rather than praise. Major La Guerre and Major Makredi Preper, though gruff in demeanor, are paradoxically beloved by their men for their steadfast standards and unwavering consistency. Neither offers compliments, but both deliver sharp and frequent reprimands, which, surprisingly, becomes a badge of honor for their troops. This dynamic underscores a curious truth about…-

Ballad: The Troubadour
The Troubadour begins with a solitary musician standing before the towering walls of a castle, his melody reaching beyond the stone to a heart hidden deep inside.

Though unknown to one another, a bond is forged through sorrow and harmony—one grieving, the other driven by compassion.
