    Frial Realfen is on a mission. He is not thrilled to be stuck with a crew for the long distance to the banned regions; he had hoped that Whadgaf Jiris would choose the ship with the crew, but she had chosen the single ship and there were obvious advantages to that for an experienced pilot.…

    Anesu “Wendy” Chimutengwende was seven years old the first time she ever laid eyes on a ghost, only she did not realize it.

  • Agent Red (Time Trials) – Issue 10 – Fierce Perfection

    There was a time in her life when Whadgaf Jiris enjoyed a privileged simplicity; before the veil over her existence was lifted, when she thought that life didn’t really exist outside of the city of Jeriel.
