Timor with Boheas Planta

While Timor seems to get long well enough with Boheas Red Planta, he does not put up with the sneaky plant based creatures attempts to make a meal of him.

While Bohea is an Avalan, descended from the people of Avala, Timor is a Thistleland Native. While not rare, such a relationship is notable as onl...

Bohea's Bed

Pawprints in the Sand

Janus sat down facing the sea, leaning back against the dry sand dune that marked the edge of the beach. His sigh was a deep one, not the kind someone makes when they have walked far, or the kind of noise uttered at an impressive sight. It was a l...
