Dear reader,Every so often times are tough - and exploring that is what this story is about. I don't know if you'll enjoy reading this, or even if the story is any good. What I can promise is that I'm pouring my heart out writing this, putting as much of my feelings as I can into every word I write. I like to get into the head of the characters I write, to understand their motivations and their reasons for doing things.Please be aware that one of the major themes of this story is depression, and it often leads into other darker psychological themes. This is all wrapped in a high fantasy world of monsters and adventure with a deterministic magic system. My goal is to maintain a rather fast pace. If this sounds interesting to you, I hope I manage to live up to your expectations. Sincerely,Nathalie "Naelynn" N.[Winner in the Royal Road Writathon 2023 challenge]
