Chasing Whispers
Philip doesn't care what anyone in town says. His brother didn’t abandon him to run off with some maiden he became entranced with. Anyone who says that is a liar. His brother was stolen from him by a monstrous creature without any regard to the lives that would be shaken by his absence. Well. life, really. Philip may be the only person who cares enough to brave the treacherous journey through the vast and horrific land before him, but that is not going to stop him from succeeding. His brother needs him. Any risk to his soul, any danger he faces, and any cost he may have to pay is worth it if only to bring his brother home safely. And if Philip has to depend upon the denizens of this damned land to find his way to his brother, then so be it.
