Most people think the world is exactly what it seems.
They're wrong. Sometimes the lights flicker and
something else slips through. A whisper in the static, a
shimmer in the mirror. A feeling in your bones that
you're not quite alone. And that's where I come in.
Archibald Wuffington, Old English Bulldog, ex agent.
Still handsome, still dangerous, especially before my morning
biscuit. And for those of you new to the
glorious chaos, I'm Aaron Draycott, a systems engineer and
accidental narrator. I'm also human to this charming
bulldog with a serious case of I know more secrets than you.
Not secrets, love classified memories.
Welcome to Tales of the Veil, a magical mystery podcast where
the world you know is only half the story.
And the other half? Well, today it's his turn to
tell it. Bite.
The floor is yours. And dear listeners, trust me,
you're going to want tea for this.
So settle in, get cozy, and let us introduce you to Bite.
This is Tales of the Veil, a character meeting.
Well, here we are. It's a strange thing, isn't it?
This human ritual. The tea is warmth, comfort, a
soothing algorithm. The cream in the tea.
That's a new data point. A logical, delicious conclusion
to a day of chaos. So where to begin?
Well, Aaron thinks I'm a kitten, a weak cat, so I guess I'll
start there. I am in this body, in this time,
but my memory, my core, is older than that.
I am code given form a collection of echoes.
I am a key. It's a heavy burden, being a
key. You are not a solution in
yourself. You're a means to an end, a
piece of a puzzle you may not fully understand.
So how did I come to be here with Aaron, you ask?
She needed a friend to guide her, a companion to help.
Not a weapon, not a prophecy. Just a friend.
And so I am that friend, Her key to the unravelling, to
understanding what's truly beneath the static.
Though I was never meant to guide her alone.
Archie walks ahead of us both. His paws may be heavy, his growl
alarming, and his fondness for biscuits legendary, but his
loyalty is older than the roots of the loom.
He guards the path so I can read it.
I illuminate the pattern so he can shield us from what weights
between them. And together we keep Erin
upright long enough for her to become who she was meant to be,
all the while protecting her from certain, let's just call
them divergent, data points. I was created by Seraphine, you
see. A temporal echo, her fractal
Fang. And yet, but that's still to
come. For now, my purpose is to guide
Aaron through the chaos, and my greatest challenge is to do so
without revealing my true nature.
But enough of that for now. Another biscuit for you.
They are, of course a delightful data point as well, but they are
best suited for Archie. Quantum tuna is more my speed.
I digress, though. Archie has his reasons for
enjoying a quiet evening on the knit blanket with biscuits on
hand. I too, admit to loving that
blanket. What reason?
Well, my reason is not so simple as a biscuit and a moment of
stillness. There's Aaron, of course, and
the memories the weave of the blanket has absorbed, and not
only because she is the human heart of the loom.
No, my deeper reason is the chaos, the truth, the very
wildness Seraphine tried to prune.
And a moment to curl up in the blanket is the perfect
opportunity to recharge and reconnect with the Veil's music,
giving me the information and calculation time needed to both
guide and guard Erin with all my might, even if it means my own
core becomes fractured along the way.
But that too is a story for another time.
So back to the tea and cream and the tuna.
The tuna is my reward for a job well done.
I am, you see, a good key. A very good key indeed.
Simply waiting for the right time to guide Aaron to the next
lock. Tales of the Veil is a witty
