A full day had already passed since Xaine had begun to bring out his power. He trained again the night after and though it was now more consistent he still had yet to discover what he power really was. It didn’t appear that he was striking any faster than...
It has been almost a full day since we left. We left as soon as it was settled again and we didn’t think the darkgons would return. Father says once we get back home they might send some people back out to help them all get back on their feet a little. We...

Xaine and Maez moved closer to the circle gathered around the fire and found good seats to listen in to the stories told by Marin. There was a small group of mostly youth and a couple of adults already listening intently to his one of tales. It wasn’t unu...
