Synopsis

"Alright," began Margo, "Now, to make sure we're on the same page. You woke up in a strange place. You don't know where you are or how you got there. You don't know where you're from or who you are. Is that all true?" The girl gaped, unable to speak out of surprise. "Hate to tell you this, but your story isn't that uncommon in these parts," Margo continued on. "There's a lot of you Veilwalkers that show up around here. None of you know where you're from or who you are- much less how you ended up here. It's pretty common. Our town gets a few of ye each week." Here Margo's lips twisted upwards in humor. “Though usually, we find your lot out in the mountains, not Master Donovan’s stable.” "Ah." Murmured the girl, still a little perplexed. Perking up a little, she asked, "What's a... Veilwalker?" Margo sighed. "To be honest, there's not a soul in this world who really knows. As far as we can tell, you people wander out of the Veil. None of you have a lick of memory or sense between you when you wake and somehow we find you in the strangest of places. You come in all colors, shapes, sizes, and races. The only thing you have in common with one another is your lost memory and your mana." <><><><><><><><> To be a veilwalker is to be adrift. No memory, no name, no past, and usually, no clear future. Waking without anything but the clothes on her back, Echo finds herself numbered amongst these odd wanderers.  And yet, even then, Echo stands apart. They speak oddly, keep odd hours, and seem to share a secret with one another that she doesn't. She bears their strength and their name, but there exists no common ground between them. Whatever it is that strengthens their spines to be unbreakable, whatever fount of wisdom grants them grace, whatever mystical, unnamed quality that makes them Veilwalkers... she discovers herself lacking it. With darkness rising to consume everything, Echo finds herself at odds with her strange brethren. She must work with them to stem the coming tide, even if she must discover just what it is that makes them Veilwalkers and not merely people.
