My ‘Dark City’ Series of posts is almost at an end, and who knows, I may bring it back to life again another day. But for now, I bring you a dark fantasy portrayal of… Perth!
Perth City. Another place I have yet to visit. Even though I live in Australia, this city is approximately 5 hours flight from Brisbane, and I can get to a number of international destinations in less time than it takes me to get to Perth. However, I still plan to get there one day.
But to visit the Perth of this dark fantasy world it would do you well to ponder these questions:
When the Blood Moon rises over the Swan River, how much blood flows from the ancient runes lit by its glow?
What creatures stir in the mist that coils around King’s Park, and what secrets does it whisper about the forest’s oldest stones?
When the auroras twist crimson and green above the skyline, do they mark the return of the river god, or the opening of a portal to another realm?
What tribute must the fishermen offer at Elizabeth Quay to keep the tentacled behemoth beneath the waters from rising?
Which cathedral bells toll backwards at midnight, and what souls respond to their call?
The creature in the water looks oddly familiar to me… I wonder… could it be… is this the lake dweller from one of my own tales or is it just a coincidence?
Come back next week for the final image in my ‘dark city’ series.
If you are interested, you can purchase your very own ‘Dark City’ mug from my merchandise store.
Happy Reading!
