“What do you mean leave Reyes?” Eliana asked. “We don’t even really have money. We’re just three girls.” “Three girls . . . . with magic,” I completed for her. “Sure, we’ve all developed a bit of magic, which is a weird coincidence for a group of best friends, but it’d not like we’re Chosen […]

Trigger Warning: Misgendering, deadnaming, family problems “Here’s your order, mona,” The waitress said sweetly. “I’m jealous! It looks really good.” I didn’t have the emotional energy to say anything, but I did look up and nod. I think I managed the slightest of grins. The waitress seemed to get it and gave me a sympathetic

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.

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
