A New Home
A blinding sense of light overcame Virgo as he opened his eyes in a foreign place. For the first time, he could feel every inch of his body as if someone was pushing him down, anchoring him to the bottom of the ocean. And yet, around him, he felt emptiness. A vast space. No matter how far he stretched his arms or extended his fingers, he felt as though he would never touch anything ever again. He longed for his home; grabbing his own arms, just to make sure he didn’t dissolve into the unimaginable abyss that enveloped him. Out of the light, shapes emerged and he became aware of a cacophony of sounds. As he took a breath, he realised at least one of those sounds had been coming from his own mouth. Above him, a patch of darkness caught his attention. The rich velvet sky soothed him. 9 spots twinkled above him, for the first time, Virgo felt beauty. The sounds around him eased, they were friendly and warm; he felt safe. He didn’t panic when something wrapped around him and a familiar throbbing echoed in his ears. He didn’t know where he was, or who he was, but he had found a boat in the middle of this ocean and the desire to sleep was too strong to fight.

The Legend of Lescha
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The cabin stood in the centre of the woods cradling half of the town in the shape of a crescent moon. It was a small town. Everyone knew everyone and it rarely saw visitors. There was a school, a hospital, a sprinkling of wooden chalets, and a simple but successful logging industry. No one knew who owned the cabin; it had been abandoned for longer than almost anyone could remember. However, as in every small town, there were whispers. They told of an old man that lured in lost travellers, a spirit of the forest, missing children, a witch that controlled animals.
