Stories from Väruld
Stories from the world of Väruld.
Whispers of poems, fragments of lore, and echoes of distant journeys. Some tales unfold in moments, others across many paths. Voices shaped by AI bring the realm to life — diverse, timeless, and just beyond the veil of reality. Updated weekly.
Väruld is a fantasy world I have created, which also includes books with detailed descriptions and novels.
All stories (unless otherwise stated) are written by me, Désirée Nordlund.
Stories from Väruld
Avug's saga, chapter 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Two minutes under the forbidden table: Avug sits under the table, watching gears she does not understand turn slowly in the shadows, and a pendulum trace its patient arc.
She is not allowed to be there — not with her skin, nor her place — yet something in the quiet machinery draws her in.
Chapter two of four, where she, in the rhythm of metal and silence, feels the weight of a world built on division — and the pull of a future she is never meant to touch.
