Chapter 29
Year 163 – Summer – Quartus Mensis – 43rd day
Avem, town of House Valmai, land of the Vale
When the Eastern girl woke up in her cell, she noticed a bowl with two potatoes waiting in front of her. How long had she slept? The old candle was still burning, but it seemed way shorter than it used to be. Vatra walked over to the potatoes and picked them up to alleviate her hunger.
Vatra – “Are you still going to ignore me?”
She waited for a moment, yet only the echo of her own voice answered her call. Vatra examined the enclosure of her jail to find the other prisoner, but it was so dark she could barely see within the other cells. The wooden door then creaked open. The slim shade of the daylight entered through it and illuminated part of the jail from the top of the stairs.
Vatra tried to see the person in the other cells, but they were all empty. Taken by confusion, she looked again into the many cells and noticed Ethen coming down the stairs with a large bag. Vatra looked at him and forced herself to smile.
Ethen – “Did you sleep?”
Vatra – “A little, I think.”
Ethen – “I brought you a couple of things until I find a better solution. Here’s a blanket for the night, a bucket for your personal business, a practice sword, another candle to see with, and a little bag with food and water.”
Vatra – “Thank you, Ethen.”
Ethen moved the initial candle closer to her jail and looked around, disappointed.
Ethen – “I’ll come back every morning to bring you food and maybe some other things. Be sure to keep up with training!”
Vatra – “Yes, my Eagle.”
The Valmai general then left Vatra to the same dry silence as earlier. Using the candle to improve her eyesight, Vatra realised she was truly alone.
Was it my imagination? There’s no way . . . I know I heard it.
She laid down the candles inside the bowl and surveyed the bag.
Some dry meat, a large waterskin, and more potatoes.
Vatra – “Could have been worse.”

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
