in the end i am undone

Once, when Riko was still young and growing, his father had taken him to the place where magic was born. He remembers that, now, when the leyline is speaking; the voice is that moment, when he felt the earth hum with energy and his magic grew wings and took flight."I have no home," Riko says, and it comes out a little more bitter than he intended."Why did you come?"And Riko talks. About the pain, the fear, the separation, the hunger. The vicious, desperate longing. A wandering in the veins.In this vacuum, this sucked-out hollow space, the leyline refuses. "Too dangerous. You will be undone."Ah, well. There are other ways to get what he wants.-Some magical events occurring to some very tired people, who aren't qualified to be trying to save the world but are doing it anyway, because if nothing else they all deserve to live in peace.
