story so far: Canto continues his quest beyond the borders of Arcana in search of his beloved’s heart. He has faced the first of many beasts in his world and survived. He has found a friend in a Malorex. They have followed the road to the shores of a lake, where they have encountered a massive kraken. After Canto demands to see the hermit, the monster responds by swallowing them whole. Now Canto must find a way to escape the belly of the beast before his time runs out... written by
