This is the story of Alethia al Bedwyn, a bard rescued from certain death by a group of adventurers, and along for the journey of a lifetime. World Trees, prophecy, and a beast that is hunting and enslaving gods to exact its own nefarious influence on the world.
This adventure was acted out by good friends in good fun, as a tabletop RPG. It is brought to life in the form of a book by Justin Kuykendall, the Game Master for that campaign, but it would not have been possible without the players themselves. Thank you for reading.

A product of NaNoWriMo. Evelyn Moore - daughter of the dreaded Ivy, must flee her past, her mother's lineage, and her village. Ivy was an admired healer, before the illness took over the village. The illness was incurable. Ivy and Evelyn struggled day and night, trying to rescue the sick. All who fall ill end up in a misty graveyard. They are driven to the woods and they build a small hut in the dense forest, barely living from day to day, but peacefully. That is, until the town's leader gathers enough men to track Ivy, and take her back to the village to be burned. Evelyn knows that she'll be next - being the only descendant of Ivy. She packs up her few belongings and gallops deeper and deeper into the woods until her eyelids fall, causing her to lose control of the horse, fall off of it and into a black abyss.

Why does her head hurt so much?Complete![Golden Child [Rewriting]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/82733594-256-k206043.jpg)

With the great Aurean war and Aziel Aro committing perpetual genocide, they're desperate to save their race.

The Beast
Thorns are wicked with barbs that ensnare and bleed those foolish enough to come too close. But their presence is often a defense, made to protect that which is lovely and delicate. Could the same not be said of a beast? "When I tell my stories, I'm not always just talking about the individual characters, I'm also talking about us- ourselves. Everyone has a potential to be any one of the characters, or even a mix of them, in their own stories. One day we may be the hero, and the next we may be the damsel in distress." "What character am I," Ylvir asked eagerly. "Oh, Ylvir," his mother said tenderly, stroking the fur around his face. "You can be whatever character you want to be... Promise me that you won't let anyone turn you into a bad guy." "Promise." A big thanks to @Pennywithaney for the magnificent cover! ;DComplete
