All Rick wanted was an opportunity to forge a new life for himself. Thrown naked into a forest, with no idea where he was or how he got there, he will discover an opportunity to get exactly what he wanted, and possibly even more than he could ever imagine. Join Rick as he explores the fantasy world of Parva, where he and his newfound friends will rediscover a forgotten, and intimate, form of magic that could change their lives forever... literally. *Note:  I originally posted this story elsewhere.  I've decided to take this opportunity to edit and refine my story for quality and to better follow community guidelines.
