[An 'Of Roots, Wings, and Wanderers' AU] They were built in different shadows. One group carved into loyalty so deep it feels like love. The other forged in escape, running from hands that tried to make them something they're not. Six lives, shaped by lies they mistook for truth. When the hunters meet the hunted; when duty meets desperation, something breaks. And when it does, nothing they were made to believe will survive the fallout. *** Brought by @Aishipit - @Clouchi - @Fururun Start: 05/05/2025

Vaethea, a half-pixie witch, must guide a lost human back to his world---but the path is riddled with restless spirits and ancient magic. Elunear, a half-elf on her first mission, was only meant to escort a dragonling on a date. Losing them was not part of the plan. Keilorana, a half-dryad sent on a treasure hunt, instead finds a dying forest and a wandering treefolk in need of help. As their paths intertwine, the very fabric of Aelderra stirs. Some quests are shaped by fate; others are defined by the choices made along the way. *** Cover by Fururun Brought by Clouchi, Fururun, and Aishipit Written by Aishipit
