As penance for a recent crime, a thief is tasked with carrying a most precious and coveted treasure to a place where no mortal may tread.
Genre: Fairy Tale, Mythology, Fantasy
Excerpt:
The thief fell from the
tower’s upper window. She had lost her precarious grip on the
pitted brick. She remembered that she should roll herself up into a
loose ball to protect her head and neck. But by the time she
remembered, she had already struck the first branch of the tree in
the orchard below. Then she struck another and another. Scratched
and thrashed and bounced about, she finally reached the ground,
thankful that the soil was soft. She lay there for far too long a
moment. The breath had been knocked out of her. And she feared
moving for fear she might discover that she could not.
But she heard voices, shouting, lights coming on, the barking of dogs from the other side of the courtyard.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. Two figures facing forward seen from waist up. The figure at left, face in three-quarters profile facing left, has her arms raised, but bent, the left one in front of her and the right one with hand near her face, fingers loosely flourished. One of her brows is raised. She wears shoulder guards and elbow length gloves. The figure at right, standing slightly behind, bears a quiver of arrows on his back, has pointed ears, and has an arrow knocked and ready to fire. Behind them is the silhouette of a bird with wings outstretched seen from above. This lies over an opening shaped like a three-pointed arch. A haze of fog surrounds the figures up to their shoulders.
