Take 1
This world is full of magic and wonder and mystery. Ancient tombs, deep caverns, sky islands, mechanical golems. It is a world inhabited by creatures of bone and blood and those of steel and copper and oil. There are sky pirates and land pirates, and (yes, of course) sea pirates too. There are valkyries (but not of the sort you’re probably imagining) and swordsmen, and android wizards with powers. And while this story will have many of those things, none of them are the focus.
This, here, in the far distant lands far away from most all of that is a family of three. Callen the father, Inris the mother, and their daughter Anni. Their home is a one-and-a-half room cabin, and if you’re wondering how half a room is possible I’ll explain. The ‘half room’ part was the loft above, which extended over half of the lower section. To reach this part of the cabin you had to pull a little rope with a knot at the end, which drew down the ladder and granted you access to what was Callen and Inris’s room. Anni slept below, at least for now. Once she got a little older and wanted more privacy as children growing into adulthood so often seek, they would swap places. Either that or they would build a whole new section, that was something that had been talked about as well.
As the story begins, we find all three of them in the garden harvesting this season's crop.
