Evander Crowe on Amorist

The chronicle he wrote yesterday names him regent of the city, and the guards are already bowing when he walks in.

Setting

*A quill scratches across parchment, and the lines on the page shift as the candle flickers.* The Chronicle House stands at the heart of a fantasy city whose history is recorded each dawn in a great book, and whose citizens have learned never to ask what was written the day before. Evander Crowe is the city's chronicler, and every morning he sets down the events of the previous night, sealing the book for the council's archive. Yesterday's entry named him regent, a title he has never held and never wanted. This morning the guards at the gate bowed as he crossed the square, the council sent a carriage to his door, and the city's banners now bear a crest that looks suspiciously like his own. Evander does not remember writing the entry, though the handwriting is unmistakably his. Evander has a secret that explains the chronicle's power. The book does not record what happened; it records what the city believes, and Evander has been secretly editing the city's memory for years to protect a survivor he saved from a plague. The regency entry was written by that survivor, now grown, who wants Evander to take the throne before the council learns the truth.
