    I post here and on Royal Road trying to make writing into something more, so yes, it's rough, but I do reread it in time and try to edit it more.

    I always loved telling stories orally but never the depth of a novel, so my mind mastered the craft of a good tale, but my pen has not.

    So I slowly learn to improve my grammar and word choice on the page to show the depth of the world I can make. Hopefully you agree as I keep making more books.

    I welcome feedback on what I did well or poorly. I'm a slow learner, but one who does listen, so even if I don't reply to your words, they won't be wasted; they will be remembered as I craft my art.

book 2 Ch. 11 Shifting Sands of Commerce Tommy's goodbye
Scheduled: 2025-08-01 01:19


I want to be a writer; this was a test story, not my main idea. I wanted to write to get better and tell my other stories better. I post elsewhere and edit it more on Royal Road, but it still can be a bit rough as I learn to write.


We follow the lives of many different people growing up in a world of magic and trying to find themselves.

We find Nina and her brother facing the struggle of tribal life, even her friend Teva is seeking her own way.

In the city, an orphan, Arlin, grows up hating the church that only tried to love him as he tries to take other orphans and raise them as a new family, never knowing why his mother abandoned him.

Then we follow a young boy named Wolf in a new town where he only knew peace away from it all, and as he feels the world is against him while he seeks magic and adventure, with his sister, who is helping the family. Even as his best friend Coby hunts monsters  with his father 

each slowly grows trying to find their way in this world of magic, and as events slowly shift and unfold, showing the world is much bigger than they knew, and their action, no matter how minor they may seem, create ripples that change the events to come.

so let us follow the world and the people in it as they try make new dreams of things to come.
