One determined faun. One defensive human. One unforgiving world. What makes a hero, and what makes an evil beyond any measure? By Arforenthia is a fight for their rights, their pasts, and their lives. Cyra Astern is half-doe. And an outcast. but she definitely isn't your typical dark soul girl, or a lonely bookworm. No, she's their worst nightmares. She's stubborn, sarcastic, and refuses to give up. Her goals? Survive, and retaliating against the cruel antimagi as much as possible. Niels Ling is... somewhat more normal. He's human, at least. He's just as defensive, equally great at making snide remarks, but unlike Cyra, he's a very strong believer in doing the right thing. Yet there's one word - one name - that has him feeling like he's trapped in a burning building. Being forced to cooperate on a quest, for the sake of... well, everything, is the worst thing that's ever happened to them. But at least it'll be interesting.
