Skelly's Tales
Prolouge
Have you ever wondered if there is a place called the end of the world, have you ever asked yourself "does such a place really exist? how is it like? is it empty? does people live there?", the questions are many, maybe even endless depending on the person asking.
But I think I can answer a few of them. Yes in our world there is actually a place that is considered "the end of the world", but it is not empty wilderness or a bridge to the abyss as people may think. Actually, at the end of the world lies a city, a pretty large city too in some peoples eyes, and it may be small in the eyes of others. This city does not really measure on how large it is. But strangely enough, no matter how much people move there, there is always room for a little more.
The city at the end of the world does not actually have a official name, it is always referred to as "the city at the end of the world" or what we local townsfolk call it,"Border City". A city that is like a fortress sometimes, filled with Life. From the market streets to the harbour, to the council and to the watchtower.Myriads of neverending streets connecting to eachother through the whole town. Sometimes it feels like it is endless..
Border City draws all kind of creatures to it, some come here to start over their lives, this is a place where everyone can get a new chance no matter background, race or status. Most people can't even explain how they found the city. It was like a force pulling them there. That is atleast what they tell me, because I have never been outside of the city walls. Why would I? Just living in the city at the end of the world is a adventure in itself. Everytime I pass by a shop or a building it looks different everytime. And the people, people who have come from every corner of the world, who have experienced so different lives altogether, they sometimes tell their story to me. Opening up the whole world for my eyes even though I have never left the city gates.
But I did not have acess to these wonderful tales that I will tell you about at the start. Actually I can say that my own story started for real at a small cafe´at a little market street at the eastern corner of Border city. Called "Skelly's Corner". A café with a brand new owner. And that new owner may be me..
Anyways if you are curious about me and my friends stories in "the city at the end of the world" open up your ears because I will now tell you about how it all began.
Everything began with the death of a very special woman called Maggie Skelly.
