PREVIEW

Most tales begin with once upon a time.

This one begins with a bird, small and fleeting as it is, framed against a molten sky. This story begins with a boy and the fate that awaits him; but first and foremost, it begins with a bird.

Nobody pays the little creature any mind as it swoops down over the grasslands surrounding the kingdom. It’s an inconspicuous creature, no larger than a sparrow, flight path sure and true as an arrow. Against the sprawling world below, the bird is but a speck. 

Beneath the bird lies a kingdom. To those who know it, the kingdom is wealthy and vast, sprawling on for miles. There are towns on all sides, prosperous and loud, sweeping into open grasslands and fields of trees and flowers. A passerby might stop to admire the beauty of it all, taking in the blue, cloudless sky overhead. They might think, how peaceful.
