I spent many a day and night thinking about the conception of Gideon. I ran multiple character ideas i made for various role-playing games. Each one had their own flair that didn't fit with the style of this story, so i had to dig down and do something rare. I made…

This story that involves my character, Gideon Volgas, is my FIRST attempt to working out of novel of sorts. I've written short stories and poetry in the back in day, but to put together a full story and created a world within it is a challenge. I used to often play table-top RPGs (Dungeons & Dragons,…
