*** INTRODUCTION ***
"Of wonder, learning, joy, and dreams, and will and war and love
Come friends well met and foes beset 'cross road and bridge and trave
Through wonder's gate tread well-worn boots, those seekers of desire
Who wander blind through trench and mud with knowledge, steel and fire
To find the mirror clear and true, and seek the soul a cure
From plagues of life and strides of strife, they search each cynosure."
- Anthology of the Unwritten Age, page 1 - verse one, Malika Kofe
*** SYNOPSIS ***
A man confronted with debt and another confronted with boredom meet at a tavern in the cold dead of night. A chance to save a princess in peril; how could they resist the gold and glory?
A woman, constrained to a gilded cage, wrapped in silk pyjamas, staring from her balcony. How could she refuse the call to adventure?
One searches for meaning, one hunts for glory, and the other pursues freedom, yet today they walk the same path.

"Please confine me to the annex."And so, she imprisoned herself there.
Now that Violet was secluded away from the world's criticism and reproach, She immersed herself in her previous life's memories and started painting them.
"What the hell are you up to this time?". Everyone was suspicious of just what she might be scheming.
