Guardians

This is the story of an orphan. Young Lariton, who works down in a mine for a corrupt orphanage is called upon to do heroic deeds. His world is different from ours, and all he has known is the orphanage and the darkness of the caves below it. He must journey to find the creature that orphaned him, the creature that wants him dead. (This is only the first 15 pages of the story, I will post the full thing later.)
