The Wandering Shadow: Prologue
It has been said that there are many versions of reality. Some are quite similar to the world we call home, differing in ways as small as the outcome of the flip of a coin. Others however, are radically different. Take for example a world where the...

Chapter 16: Gratitude
Tamash? woke with a toothy yawn, blinking away the bleariness of her eyes. From what she could see through the little bedroom window, it was almost to dawn. She gently slid out of bed, shaking her head with an amused smile as Valor failed to wake. How...
