WIND WARRIORS
Series/Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventure
All around there were clouds, Earth was a distant memory……almost a dream.
Our father’s, father’s, grandfather’s walked these same decks, tended carefully by the deckers. Each day they polished and repaired. The wood from trees long since dead, their green leaves stolen away in the blaze that was the Great War. Green, the holy color. The color of the high priests, the keepers of the “Book,” the sacred, near mythical center of our universe. A universe confined by the wood of the decks and the clouds that surround… The Book gives us hope.
