Waning, Written by B. Morris Allen, Narrated by Carl Walmsley.

The old king is dying, his wife long gone, his victories long faded. His knights have turned grey, and the axe he took from the fabled Blue Lady is hung on a dusty wall. Only now the Lady is back, offering another cruel bargain and a bitter truth. The Lady's offers always have a price. But who pays it?
