The Dragon's Keeper

"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." The unknown was revealed to be unremarkable, only to be replaced by a world full of magic. Loneliness was replaced by family and exhaustion by warmth. But fire stayed fire, and suffering is ubiquitous. A soldier beats death, only to wake up as a witch.
