Forsaken Dreams

Marren showed up to Moon's Creek Orphanage in her seventh year, knowing nothing of her past or where she might have come from. Her arrival was a surprise and a mystery to those running the orphanage, but they took her in with little hesitation, having her do cleaning chores and help with the younger occupants.

Nearly a decade later and she was the last one. She knew that in less than two weeks she'd be kicked from the premise by the Empire's law, and with nowhere to go and no knowledge of the outside world, she was feeling lost and hopeless. By chance or maybe fate, she was sought out as an apprentice.

Now risen out of poverty, Marren is learning more about the world than she had ever dreamed... or wished to know- elves walk as men covered by glamour, the King's forge is run by an Orc, and the kitchen is spilling with the small folk. Nothing is what it seems in the Capital of the Terrmirica empire, and she's about to find out she plays a much larger role than anyone anticipated.
