As I reach about the halfway mark of Lusters and Shadows rewrite, I've decided to share short stories and a poem or two about my main characters. This chapters is an introduction to them, though I won't include back stories, and will start with just the three I mention today. If you want to see where they started, my eBook of the first edition is still available on B and Amazon. Again, these three have gone through a decent amount of change so there's that to keep in mind...

And here are the main three! Short stories that follow will be taking place in-between certain chapters I may or may not note at the beginning since I've added a new chapter and got rid of an old one. The general plot and overall big points are still the same, just more detailed since I moved to third person but we'll see when we get there. Also, since folklore is a big aspect, that's why this work is under mythology.
Next is a poem I wrote for a club earlier this week, about Archer thinking about Zelda's hands.
