Day after day, the skies grow darker and more menacing. Snow falls incessantly, covering the vast world of Aeyuu with a soft blanket of immaculate death. Those who do not succumb to the freezing cold, are often met with a fate far worse than what anyone on the face of the planet could possibly imagine. Word of unnatural occurrences spreads through the major cities of the world, whilst small towns and villages live in fear of a nameless threat and mercenaries prey on bearers of magical abilities. Some believe the end of the world to be nigh, and express no hope for a future they perceive as inexistant.

In the midst of the storm, a young girl of Elven origins finds herself the target of an overzealous mercenary who, unwittingly, will drive her towards the source of all darkness, and towards an unexpected destiny.

Welcome to the Age of Silence.

If you read mine, I'll read yours.
Do you think it's sad and pathetic to ask of people to read what you write like a desperate freak ? Do you ever wonder whether the lack of feedback means you suck at what you do, and are therefore incapable of holding an audience ?
Me too.
And if you just want feedback for feedback's sake like a non-pathetic writer, that's even better.
