The record of a parallel world, witnessed from its first morning and carried home at last.
Begin readingThe witness speaks
I left this world a long time ago, in the years your histories call the beginning of the dark ages, when the groves were burning and my island took itself into the mist. Where the mist set us down, a goddess stood waiting on the beach. I watched her dance a world into being. I walked in that world for millennia, writing down what the people living inside it told me. I was asked to carry all of it home when I was done.
Welcome to the world of Zemiya. It is time for you to meet her creation.
