The Ballad of Ash and Hum

Somewhere on the Earth's surface, a heroine called Ghabrie searches for her little sister: or so the 'Net fables say.

Ash and Hum, a fighter pair in the underground Pandora system, know their only option is to go aboveground and find Ghabrie. The growing attraction between them, however, complicates everything.

Ash and Hum will have to resolve their feelings and escape Pandora before it crumbles - forever.
