Excerpt:

He wasn’t as young as she expected, certainly too old to be hiding that way. Sturdy as a young tree, and just as green, with a steady honest gaze that was too forthright for the circumstances.

He was hiding something.



Dead Bodies: not dead yet, by god.
Revelations: the thief, discovered
Things magical: everything has a cost - and an obligation.

For what it's worth, I prefer "Native Soil".
