A new prisoner has been brought to the castle. They say he's a warrior. They call him a demon. They whisper that he can grant wishes.

Saiven can't resist. He sneaks into the secluded dungeon to see, but the man chained to the wall is not what he expects. Smiling. Teasing. He introduces himself as Faolan, and Saiven is caught.

This...man. He makes Saiven feel things he should not feel. Draws forth confessions that were meant to stay secret. Faolan freely grants him warmth and laughter. But now...

Now it's time to find out if Saiven is strong enough to earn a wish.

This one is less of a rambling and more of a plea.

The Ali Forney Center for Homeless LGBT Youth is a great organization in New York City that helps kids who have run away or have been thrown out of their homes by providing them with a place to stay, meals, support, medical care, and much more. Unfortunately, they were hit hard by hurricane Sandy, and the nor’easter that swept through shortly thereafter. The Chelsea drop-in center was completely destroyed.

Please consider helping in their efforts to--not only to continue these necessary services--but also to create a new drop-in center for kids in need.

Take care,
