poem / copyright jo richter:

Galen fand die Säfte innen, Kneipp
aussen und Schauberger liess sie
wirbeln, Hahnemann schütteln: Blut und
Lymphe, Laune und Gemüt. Aus

der inneren Umwelt, der äusseren
Inwelt strömt und färbt sich das
Geschick in den Wassern: Zu deuten
aus Treibgut und gelösten Erden,


die als Schicksal verwirklicht ein
Leben sind. Das war es, was ihnen
zwischen den Fingern zerrann: Ach,
Heraklit wusste um kein Ende
des einzigen Stroms, der in jedem
Dasein mündet - und aus ihm quillt.

Between them lay the Circle of Twelve Houses, an ancient divination device that had belonged to Sarah's grandmother. Its intricate circular engravings caught what little light remained in the room, creating shadows that seemed to move of their own accord. Posted bills and weathered advertisements clung to the walls around them, silent witnesses to countless readings that had come before.

In the cursed halls of Castle Ravencrest, a jester named Grimshaw weaves a web of manipulation through his seemingly innocent performances. By day, he entertains the court with acrobatic feats and clever wordplay, but as shadows lengthen, he whispers poisonous secrets into noble ears, turning ally against ally.
