“But why do you have to leave, mom?” I asked. “Because, Star, I don’t know anything about magic and I feel like I’ll just get in the way. It will be for the best this way,” my mom said. My mother, Asha Alistar, is not concerned about being “in the way.” She just wants to […]

As I walked down the streets of Bultine, I continued my life as the green-scaled, lavender-haired Dragonkin, Kaoli. As I decided Kaoli was a kind person, I made sure there was a broad smile on my face. Every time I passed a street merchant, I would wave and greet them in Dragonese. I glanced up

The journey to Daragon felt little different than the rest of the time I had spent among the Changling Collective. The ship was a large grey carapace. It is made to appear to be a rock when it must be within sight of other creatures. The interior that I saw consisted entirely of built-in seats.
There’s something about walking down the streets of High Anglachel that highlights all of the city’s problems. The humans like me always feel like they’re so gods damned superior to everyone else. Most of the halflings and gnomes are shoved into service positions if you see them at all. And I don’t think I’ve ever
To Captain Blythe Ferdinand: I was very pleased upon learning that the Queens of Summer and Winter accepted my proposal to further explore this new realm as a way to subsidize the magical energy of the Fey Realm. Their response advised that the majority of our funds would be coming with the military contingent that

After Dara discovered that the beag sheep had been abducted by a person, our next steps seemed pretty obvious. “So, we just want to follow whatever trail there is to find the missing sheep?” I asked. “I don’t think there’s a trail, Karuk,” Dara observed. “Yeah, this break in the fence is the only thing

The gnomish crowd loved Gin’s music. That was a relief. I always appreciated his talent, but the only real audience he had played for was his goblin tribe, and from what I hear, that didn’t go well. His catchy beats may not suit his kinsman, but they were perfect for these gnomes tearing up the

Gin and I hadn’t been to anything even slightly resembling a restaurant, so we were grateful that Dara had ordered for us. The stew was like nothing I had ever tasted before. The broth was a deep brown color and very salty. There were chunks of tender meat that wasn’t like the game I had

Our journey across the sea could not be described as smooth sailing. Dara said his boat only had enough material to transmute it into a small sailboat, and those are not made for long journeys on the ocean. It took all three of us to maintain control of it. Dara used his elemental magic to

Anglachel was an enormous city. I had gone to the Fey Court with my grandmother and it is impressive, but nothing like this! The alicorn I was riding was surrounded by people on either side. There was some sort of outdoor market on either side of the road selling all sorts of various products. I
