The Old Gods Are Dying | Chapter Two | A Dark Mythic Fantasy Serial

Ten years away.
A summons home.
And the weight of everything left unsaid.

In this episode of Tales Under A Broken Sky, we return to The Old Gods Are Dying.

After a decade spent running from his past, Fiachra is called home by his grandmother Maeve to sit beside his dying grandfather. Back in the small farmhouse of his childhood, memories surface uninvited. Old wounds reopen. And grief settles into his bones as he keeps vigil at Domhnall’s bedside.

As night falls and silence stretches long between breaths, Fiachra is forced to confront the years he cannot reclaim, the words he never spoke, and the quiet legacy of a family shaped by ancient promises.

This is a slow-burn dark fantasy about coming home, inherited sorrow, and the unbearable tenderness of farewell. Expect hushed atmosphere, emotional weight, and the sense that some goodbyes echo far beyond the room they’re spoken in.

If you’re drawn to ancestral stories, fractured families, and tales that linger like smoke in cold air, this chapter is for you.
