“Beginnings are always hard. There’s never a perfect place to start a story. The moment we pick is a choice that says as much about us as it does the history we tell.”

– Avyn Fiir Vorunt

“I kept a record of every day, overwrote each one the next. Not the normal practice, but the days all seemed like one: a heavy pause, a stutter. I replaced all of our yesterday’s like I could erase this endless hesitation, as though the village wasn’t there at all.”

– Belka
