Forgiveness Doesn’t Come Easy

by MissMilkMaid

--- There are things that can be forgot, and there are things that can be forgiven. After what Marston's done… I don’t think I can do neither.  … Or maybe it’s just myself I can’t forgive… I ain’t certain. All I know is I want no part of him, nor any party Dutch throws for that bastard.  --- A look back on the time John left the gang, as well as a Red Dead retelling of The Prodigal Son.     ---

Do not trust the hand that feeds you

This could also be called "Of Monster's and Men" and is a darkish short story. It is an original parable from my unfinished philosophical novel from 2017 within the actual storyline. I'm looking forward to your thoughts! :)

The Kagouti and the Guar

by Elysian_Wyrd

An Ashlander Parable also known as The Chimer and the Saxhleel, by which title it has sparsely been sublimated by malcontent members of the Great Houses, particularly House Telvanni Presumably inspired by oral tradition and contact with rogue Tribunal-loathing Dunmer, the tale has recently been conducted into Dunmeri earshot by some especially fortunate-- and now very wealthy --merchants. --I likes to write TES fic as though it were an in-game book--
