Scribes & Archers

Pellan is from the first book of the Dark War Trilogy, The Last Assassin, and he likes to cause me issues in writing. But he’s still a really interesting character, and I find him to have one of the two coolest outlooks on life I’ve written. Enjoy. :)

 

Pellan: *comes in and takes a seat, shaking the interviewer’s hand* Good morning.
