This read like a dream half-remembered, softly surreal, but grounded in something ancient and tender. The kind of tale that lingers at the edge of waking, asking nothing but to be felt.

Thank you for this. Stories like this don’t shout, but they stay.

Stay entangled, my friend.

I wasn't planning on continuing with it, but I knew people would want to know what was in the letter and what everything was about.

Oh thank you. I may explore it more. Time Mage is something I'd love to explore in stories.

“Hah! Suck it, Tod. Feel the wrath of the elevation gods,” I muttered, ducking behind the bush a little more with zero shame. I snorted when I read this. LoL

First of all, I'm blown away by your gorgeous prose. It's magnificent. Secondly, the sweet whimsy makes me feel like a little girl lost in a daydream. Thirdly, I'm interested in what happens next. Excellent work!
