For my 12th birthday party we played a computer game called "The Hand of Fate." It was about a girl named Zanthia (big stretch for me, right?) who mixed potions and cast spells, and ended up saving her world. Inspired by her, I wrote my own short story about another girl (me, really) who went on her own fantastic adventure. She didn't save the world, but she opened her eyes. So Calamyra was born, and there it sat for the next 10 years.
