Story Notes

What started off as a dream where Ace had water powers has become the crossover I never expected... it features Ace from the Tale of Ace Gallagher and all the rest from Echoes of Aravast (ironically both of which are in production & planning stages--or rewrites in Ace's case), but you don't need to know any background or info to read it.

The story is a bit darker than others I've written, with hopelessness, fear, and death prevalent, and is suitable for a more mature audience. But if there's any point it gets across, is that there's always hope.
