Impulse

It's always been in the back of his mind. Calem Vastar, nephew of the Lord King of the Divine City of Ynesh, has a secret. Something dark and twisted, a piece of himself that he wishes to deny. A tiny voice, whispering intrusive horrors and urges that could make the stomach turn. A thing that is him but not at the same time. But he endures it. For the good of Ynesh and its citizens Calem tames his impulses and imagination. He does so in the name of honor, for his bloodline, and for his cousin, Princess Ulem. But for how long can he keep himself in check? When secrets are revealed, when corruption is uprooted, can he hold himself together? When he is called upon by the King to go beyond the measure of his duty, to provide an heir to the Ynesh throne, how much stress will it take for the reins to slip? Calem wants to be in control. He wants to deserve what his life has given. He wants to silence the voice that haunts him and be the man that his city needs. But how far can one detach themselves from their own thoughts?
