“My heart is with another.” 

“Liar.”

“Who is this lover? How can she be fairer than I?” 

“I never said they were,” he replied, not even able to feign his lover was a woman. He had known that Authur’s court with its mix of Roman Christianity and Puppillandian noblemen’s standards would be a ghoulish place to be for someone like him, but Electra had asked, and he couldn’t say no.

The apparent necessity to create this social hierarchy dominates the world we live in and the world we know, starting at a young age. This hierarchy I speak of can even beContinue reading “Since the Beginning…”

Lanval Text Quest

https://lanvalquest.000webhostapp.com/ For my first project of the semester, I knew I wanted to do something with Marie de France. I say that but it’s sort of a lie.
