An episodic collection of short stories in which the world is seen through glimpses into the lives of those who survive in it. You may be reading about an alchemist mixing potions together in one chapter, and find yourself on the high seas the next, sailing into a hopeless battle against a fleet of pirates. ----------------------- Author's Note: These short stories will be written when/as the urge hits me, so there will be no set schedule for this. Each chapter will be as long or short as I feel is necessary. As with all that I write, I hope you enjoy.
