After Pip got settled in, winter came, and with it, liberties that she had seldom experienced before.  It wasn’t that she had been boarded in, on the contrary, when living at missus’s Melina’s place, but certain expectations had been placed on her back then. Namely, she wasn’t exactly allowed to leave the city of Lynorr, high in the sky that it was. Her wings were so small! She was small! Or so the missus would say. In reality, she wa...

“Well, Gili, what do you think of this place?” asked Rillvue.  The gribble, situated as she was on the table of the kitchen, gave a small ribbit. She had yet to move from the spot they had placed her on, which they took it as a sign that she appreciated. Well, she also didn’t look too discontent with her situation.  The place they were talking about was their new home in Fayewood; a thr...

Victor had lost his parents when he was very young, but he made the decision of become a spirit mage a lot, lot later in his life. If he would have had a close friend throughout those early years, perhaps they would tell him that it had always been obvious… “Victor, you were always meant to become a spirit mage.” And perhaps Victor himself could sense it, to a degree. But Kyvalorians are creatures of free will, governed but not controlled by their fate; to Victor, that choice meant some...

That icy cold chill that he had come to know and even liked.  Did that make him strange? He wondered. And he had been wondering this more than he should lately, although he wasn’t aware that this wasn’t normal. The other orphans at the House were the ones who had i...

“Welcome at the Home of Durmur, little one,” said the kind man.  He had just pushed the door with his shoulder, revealing a long hallway full of lights. There were doors on the right, and for the first five meters along the left wall where rows of coats and shoes, in sizes that were small enough that Victor might wear them; sizes for other children his age. He heard voices in the depth of the Home but saw no one, so he turned his gaze to ...

“And there we have it,” said Missus Melina. “It’s a home, and now it’s yours.”  Right as she said that, she caught the front of the porch mid-flight and hauled herself onto it, moving out of the way so that Pip might do the same. She waved her tail plumage in a gesture that seemed like an invitation at first, but that morphed into something more grandiose and dramatic as she presented Pip’s new home. Meanwhile, Pip missed the po...
