This was something i've been writing since i think August, and i wanted to post it here because why not? So anyways, story is inside the project, since i think it would be too long to put into either the Instructions or the N+C. Thank you, and enjoy! 《 Author's Context 》 " A list of terms and words that you might not know that are mentioned within the story. Warning for some spoilers for the story, so you would be better off reading the story first." Beastians - The umbrella name for the half animal, half humanoid race of Winlore. They are mostly human, elven, dwarven, whatever their humanoid species may be, but with the traits of animals, such as sheep or wolves. The only two Beastians mentioned so far are Alex, a half-wolf half-human Beastian, and Fliicii, a half-sheep half-human Beastian. Frost - One of the seasons of Winlore, representing Winter. Early-Frost means (vaguely) December, Mid-Frost means January, and Late-Frost means February.) Holy Council - From their headquarters within the Church of the Thirteen Bells, The Holy Council of Whitewreath (AKA; "The Holy Council", "The Council", or "The Thirteen") run the city, and indeed the kingdom, of Whitewreath, with their thirteenth member, known only as the 13th Council member, or The Divine Monarch, acting as the official Ruler of Whitewreath. As we progress the story, i will list the known members of the council below: 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th - 5th - 6th - 7th - 8th - 9th - 10th - 11th - 12th - 13th - The Divine Monarch Whitewreath, City - The capital city for the kingdom of the same name, Whitewreath; also known as the Holy City or the City of Light, is located within the grassy plains of Heatherfield, and is home to the Church of Thirteen Bells, and in turn the Holy Council of Whitewreath (or just The Holy Council). Winlore - The name of the World that this story takes place in. It's your typical fantasy world, just with the number 13 being considered a lucky and holy number, and with a limited amount of Magic within the world (trust me, this /will/ be brought up again at some point). --- *If this was to be published, then i'm sure this wouldn't be the first book, but i don't care, this is the first part of the story. 《 Characters 》 》Evelyn "Bluejay" Wilde, She/Her - Half-Elven Ranger.
