"I have been called many things in an attempt to give meaning to my shape. But I am merely a tool—a pristine pair of pruning sheers, a beautiful butcher's blade, an exquisite executioner's axe. I silence the noise. I trim the fat. I cut the rot so my master's petals could grow unencumbered. I see all transgressions upon my master and purge with impunity."
~The Stalk- The Whispers of Tyful~
The Stalk is one of Tyful's followers. Its role is to track down and eliminate anything that threatens its master. It directly connects to Tyful, meaning that whatever it discovers, Tyful also knows. The Stalk sneaks through the village to gather intelligence, waiting for the right moment to strike. It's nicknamed "The Whispers of Tyful" because it moves silently, and all sounds around you are hushed, leaving only the sound of your heartbeat. The air becomes filled with the odor of decaying leaves whenever it's nearby, giving its victims a sense of fear and dread. Tyful exerts his influence through the Stalk and eliminates obstacles, enabling him to feast without hindrance.
"No one has any information about the two people that appeared out of nowhere yesterday and began whipping this town in a frenzy. All my detectives vanished last night; now I must sneak around to...wait. What's that smell?"
~Leslie Furmon from the lost town of Ursa~
The Stalk is one of my favorite characters. I have a soft spot in my heart for assassins. I love the aesthetics of the Stalk very sleek and clean. The orange colors pop right off the screen, almost concealing the knife in its hand. Perfect. The art, again, is from the incredible Whiskey Robinson.

Thank you again for subscribing and reading! I am terribly sorry for the hiatus. This summer has been constant and does not seem to be slowing down! But much progress has been made behind the scene. The editor is done editing, so a newer, better, faster version of the first book is underway. This means online and in-person demos will be a thing very soon. New updates to the website will happen within a week. You should be able to view all the newsletters on the site. Again, I am terribly sorry for the extended absence, but it is slowly calming down. I cannot thank you enough for joining me on this journey. I love you like a summer breeze!
Take Care!
