Day 5- Cave
"And you're sure they came here?" asked Mel'er with a rough voice, doubt dripping in her tone. "Yes, yes. Little Wallace said they had a dare but he fell asleep and missed the time." answered the short satyr man, annoyance flashing in his...
Singing my heart out
I took a deep breath. The influx of air in my lungs helped to assuage my nerves. Behind me, I could hear the restless beating of my tail on my pants, the quiet murmurs of the crowd waiting behind the door. I pushed the air out with a controlled huff,...
