Have you ever thought about how someone could end up living in a game world? I mean besides the easy "I died and was reborn inside a game world!" This story is built on that question.

A starship leaves Earth in our near future. It makes a multigenerational journey to arrive at a potential colony world in another star system. As they settle into their new home they find the ruins of a former civilization. In exploring those ruins they discover the unexpected. As more and more people disappear into them the survival of the colony comes into question.

Years later, a wandering wizard is traveling through a world of danger and magic. In this world where people struggle to survive, her unique view of magic could mean the difference between an early tragic death or a long adventurous life.

This story involves both science based technology and magic. It explores how one can become the other.
