The word echoed inside my chest, unsettling something I kept tightly locked away. “This is the only life I know,” I said finally. I rinsed the pot and set it aside to dry. “I grew up here.

Lora's mother had fled after giving birth to her daughter. She lifted the brick in the north corner of the room as she emptied the dungeon more carefully. "What is this book?" she inquired. The book was dusty, and the gold was almost faded, almost bronze. The title of the book was Life of the Witch. The book is about wizards and their interactions with the outer world.
