“Um.” Abigail looked between the three of them and held out the candy in her pocket. “I took it, but I didn’t- hey!” She closed her hand around it as her Liv grabbed for it.
“Yeah, I’d say throw that out, but you’d have to destroy it utterly. Okay, you should be fine, but try to get rid of that now that Liv notices you have it. I’m not saying that it’ll get you home, by the way, but there’s something about the -hey!” Continue reading

Before the Curse hit their little corner of the world, the Shou were known as the finest artists in all the land – poetry, painted art, sculpture. Now they are known as the finest artificers, but they do still hold some vestiges of art.
They live a shorter lifespan then the average human-variant, but they make up for this with a very quick childhood and a very intense apprenticeship/scholarly period. The apprenticeship is known as “the hard years” and is both headed and followed by one-year “wander times”

She had been moving for days – no, weeks. She had left Dekleg behind more than five days ago, and with it the laws that she’d broken. And Dekleg did not talk to the Elherion Empire, nor the Empire to Dekleg, much less exchange prisoners. Deline was not even sure if they had any laws in common – which, since she’d spent the last ten years before Dekleg in the Empire, was how she’d gotten in trouble in the first place.
But someone was tracking her, and she didn’t imagine they were doing it to ask her to work for them or to shake her hand for the fine things she’d done in deep Dekleg, where she had dealt with some frankly horrible things. Continue reading
