Syp, the last-born child in a large family, is formally "loosed" from its family with only five days to prepare. Syp has never had to fend for itself or even gone camping. Now Syp is expected to survive with no help! Granted sanctuary in a facility not far from the home it grew up in, Syp enters adolescence. Syp endures baffling changes, gains new skills, and discovers the world of magic. What is the reason that Syp's mother persists in her harassment? The questions are only partly answered when illegal activities are accidentally brought to light, and a stranger comes to town. No longer a child, but not the adult it is declared to be, the adolescent goes to serve as an apprentice to Sage Elvan. The apprentice journeys with the Sage around the continent learning and searching for the truth about the past and the future.
New chapters will be posted on Mondays and Thursdays.
