free my song from pain

"Julek is vibrating with nervous energy. He knows better than to try to sit still right now, when his whole body wants to fly off in different directions, but he tries to sit still anyway because it’s the least he can do. The bench in the hallway is uncomfortable, littered with beaded cushions that in Julek’s opinion are not in good taste. He picks absently at the outline of a peacock in blue and orange (orange?! why orange?! who in their right mind) and tries to hear his parents talking behind the door."After war, heartbreak, and loss, a Witcher, a Bard, and a Lion Cub piece themselves together into a family. A companion piece to the other works in this series with overlapping timeframes, but each of these pieces can also stand alone.
