When I read this story from S2B2 32, I just had to be sure that you all read it too. It is beautifully written and, though I am not a fan of fantasy tales, I fell for this one. If I tell you about it, I'm afraid I will spoil it. Doesn't that opening just draw you in...make you want to find out what the heck is going on? Oh, and the illustration has spoilers, so they have kindly made viewing optional. Go! Go on! Read it!
