Leif and the Hawk King

In a world far from our own, known as Hettera, magic was an everyday occurrence. Animals walked and spoke like people, wizards brewed concoctions to control nature, and witches soared the skies. Not everyone was happy about it. Some wished that magic could be more controlled, but the magic users thought they should be free to wield it how they wished. Eventually this led to a war between those who could use magic, and those who could not.
As a last ditch attempt to win the war, the magicians got together to cast a powerful spell, but it was performed improperly and sent the various continents soaring into the sky, breaking apart into pieces. These pieces created islands in the sky, and after the war was over, new borders were drawn between these islands.

One young boy lives and travels these islands. His name is Leif, and with his pet hedgehog, Spike, he travels the islands in his air-ship. A long time ago a witch cursed him to be a child forever. He has dedicated himself to finding this witch, undoing his curse, and unraveling his past.
