Sweet Chaos
Ch 1: Dreaming of Slaves
Elric Saga, OMCs based upon the tale of the city of H'hui'shan in The Revenge of the Rose.
PG-13, for very dark sexual imagery.

( Vyric's fingers tightened on the edge of the balcony. He gazed down upon the Plain of Imryrr, watching the roseate glow of the setting sun catch fire on spires and minarets, street fronts and bridges. To the glance the city worked as it had always worked: an Elysian construct of pleasure and beauty that the Lords of the Balance could be pleased to have erected. In actuality the city was damaged. It was poised on the brink of total destruction. It would fall to the hands of barbarians soon; it would be swallowed by the primal maw of the power of the Higher Worlds. )

Series for liriaen - a bit different from my initial idea, so I hope you like, but there were too many interesting ideas here to pass up.
