From a Kingdom's Shadow (Fantasy, Dramatic Adventure)

Apondra had never really understood why she had to keep herself hidden from the world. The kind butcher who took her in as a child always answered the same, because of the war.The war between two neighbouring kingdoms to the west had been resolved almost a decade ago, so what was the worry if she showed her wings in public? Or stopped dressing elf-like to charade around town in?She yearned for freedom, even just to go out and make friends her age. Apondra wanted to see the world. Or at least travel the kingdoms of Galoahar. She had never even been to the capital city of the lands she grew up in with the butcher elf, Barri.But the goddess Mother and Father god, whom all worshipped in their own ways, had their own plans for her to realize.And it was finally time for their plan to be put in motion. But would she be ready for what her freedom would cost?
