Fairytales

“He was walking into Faerie, in search of a fallen star, with no idea how he would find the star, nor how to keep himself safe and whole as he tried. He looked back and fancied that he could see the lights of Wall behind him, wavering and glimmering as if in a heat-haze, but still inviting.” ― Neil Gaiman, Stardust

Fauna's Song

Close up

The fauna is playing a unique song with her harp in the end of the summer, a song which calls the autumn and its beautiful creatures. All the colors in nature change at once, and the gust of wind becomes different. Who said that autumn isn't beautiful?

He comes across deadly enemies and he experiences love, loss and treason. However, the greatest milestone of this quest is a powerful dragon, who will change his fate forever.
