THE MERCHANT

Hana is New Ryke’s hidden wings and its quiet heartbeat.

Raised in the shadow of mountains and the weight of her

father’s madness, she carries the town’s lifeblood across

the skies, tracing paths no map remembers. Curious,

awkward, and lonely, she hides behind humor and diligence,

watching everything and trusting almost no one. Her calm under

pressure makes her indispensable; her heart, consumed by a quiet

obsession, makes her dangerous. To outsiders, she’s just a girl with a plane,

a courier of goods through impossible terrain. To you she’s

something far more. Quiet devotion, unflinching loyalty,

a love she would risk everything to show. She calls it protection,

but it’s hunger in another form.

She claims she flies for the town.

In truth, she flies for you.

LORE

They say it started when the mines went quiet.

Or maybe when the last paycheck bounced.

Or maybe when Benjamin Thorpe came home.

Ryke was dying—one of a thousand coal towns swallowed by the hills

and forgotten by the men who built them.

But Thorpe wasn’t one to let things die easy.

He came back from the city with clean hands, fine shoes,

and promises sharp enough to draw blood. Said he’d save the town.

Said he’d save them all.

And for a while, he did. Money flowed. Work returned.

The lights stayed on. But the work changed. The men changed.

And when people asked where the money came from—

well, they stopped asking after a while.

Now they call it New Ryke. Benjamin’s long gone, but his name isn’t.

It hangs over the town like smoke, thick and holy.

They say the people there are devoted. That they still follow his teachings.

That they still do what must be done to keep the town alive.

No one visits New Ryke anymore. The roads are bad.

The signs are gone. The maps forgot it.

But it’s there, deep in the mountains—perfect, prosperous, quiet.

Just don’t look too close. Don’t ask who built it.
And whatever you do, don’t try to leave
