Cards
A BOY WITH STRANGE LUCK, A MAN WITH RARE KNOWLEDGE…

Once upon a time, there lived a painter. He dreamed, he painted, and he was troubled by only one thing, the great interruption of his life – the vast Empire among the stars. For, you see, he was emperor. As emperor he did nothing, and as long as nothing happened, all was well.
And then, unexpectedly and all at once, something happened.
Summer Leaves
A CONTINUATION OF THE SONS OF TRYAS.
