The roots have begun to stir.

Long has the earth kept its silence, long has stone swallowed the echoes of what was done and what was buried. But the old wards are thinning, and the wind now carries a name it was never meant to remember. The Hollow breathes again. The hunters sharpen their blades. And the path that was written in blood before her first breath is drawing closed.

So it is foretold:

When the buried truth wakes,

when the watching mountain opens its unseen eyes,

when whispers crawl from the soil like pale worms of memory ~

the marked one will be called.

I am both thrilled and wary to announce that Call of the Damned will rise from its slumber on May 20th, 2026.

Mark the date carefully, wanderer. Prophecies are patient things. They wait in bone and bark and shadow, listening for footsteps.

And this one already knows yours.
