This story follows the lives of two individuals: Sadima and Haph. Sadima’s story takes place in the ‘past’, a time when true magic was dormant, and people were wary of it. Sadima’s magic allows her to commune with animals, getting glimpses into their world, and she sometimes secretly helps those creatures who are suffering under the hands of humans. True magic was not widely practiced, and the world was rampant with fake wizards and sorcerers claiming to know the secrets of magic when all they… Continue
