Chapter I — THE HOLLOW WAKE

The Hollow Wake” opens the story of Mare’s Covenant — a requiem of loss, grief, and obsession.
In the silence after death, a mourner stands before the ashes of what once was, whispering to the dark for something—anything—to answer back.
But the wind that replies is not mercy. It is a beginning.

Lyrics:
The fire died.
The light withdrew.
And all that lived…
was never you.

I watched the fire die in her eyes,
A flicker drowned beneath cold skies.
The world moved on, but I stood still,
A ghost among the ash and chill.
I called her name until it cracked,
A prayer that time would not give back.
But silence answered like a blade—
And memory began to fade.

Grief has teeth that bite the soul,
It feeds where light once made me whole.
I dig the grave with trembling hands,
Still hear her voice in winter’s sands.

The crows don’t sing, the bells don’t chime,
Just whispers lost to dust and time.
I trace her steps in frozen mud,
Each one a scar that draws my blood.
Her final breath still haunts my bed,
An echo stitched inside my head.
I curse the dawn, I curse the stars—
They watched me break behind these bars.

I begged the gods.
They never came.
I screamed her name—
It died the same.
But one voice answered in the black…
A dream I feared,
That called her back.

Grief has teeth and dreams have claws,
And I have dared to break the laws.
I dig the past with bloody grace—
To see again her haunted face.

A whisper found me in my pain.
It said: “I know her.
Say her name.”
