Then (Starfall) I sat at the window, anxiously tapping my toe on the floorboards as I slit the fish open. I plucked out the bones and set them aside, painfully aware of the sun dipping behind the snow dusted mountains. My pulse quickened as the golden sky faded to a…
I stumble around mindlessly. These Afeard Wilds are driving me crazy. I bump into something. I frown. I look up and I see a mouth. A mouth lined with fangs. “Ahh!” I scream and stumble back. A stooped hooded figure stands before me. “A story,” she says in a raspy…

Journal Entry (After Starfall) It’s two days after the big incident. A lot has changed, and many people have died and been injured. Nothing seems real. We didn’t think that Yore could ever fall, even though we knew it had to happen some day. But just not this…
