Title: Free Spirit
Status: In Progress
Summary: To the people of Haile, adventuring is only a game. To Tala, it is, sadly, the only way of fulfilling her dream. She finally has a way to ensure her acceptance into a magical university, but it won't be easy. She has to travel through the Northlands, break down the defenses of an ancient temple, and swipe a long-lost magic staff - all without getting herself killed. Accidentally dragging her brother and his friends along, Tala sets off for an adventure she desperately doesn't want. Meanwhile, south of the border, a famous bard and a lonely, angsty antihero meet and become unwilling partners in an attempt to save a country.
