Taking place directly after A Gathering of Friends, North reunites with his old childhood friend, Aurelian aka Decimus. North returns to his duties as Vinview Champion while Aurelian picks up work within his organization; a sub-branch of the Security Crops dedicated to the silent takedown of high-priority targets. The two friends' fates intertwine, and Aurelian is left to wonder what side North will favor. ~Cover art courtesy of Friedrich Schutze.

[UPDATED] Written as an ode to my friends, this story follows our respective original characters as they hold an adventure in the forest together. Through conflict and recreation by day, ice-breaking and storytelling by the fire at night, it is a good way for North to take his mind off his life and enjoy the company of friends. 5 Years later, Nova returns to Nordilege from his time overseas, intent to show his old friends who helped him recognize his potential just what he can do now. When a spell goes awry, otherworldly companions step through the rifts of Yggdrasil's branches to meet the cast.
