Aurora: Chapter Four: The Journey
Traveling with Pietro was not how I expected it to be. It was a several day's journey to Varaz'khor; as Varaz'khor was in the Far North of Vaagriklund and we were traversing mountainous territory, this was no day trip. Public carriages took us from...
Aurora: Chapter Three: The Preparations
