A nice setting and character, the reluctant adventurer bookworm. I struggled a bit with the present tense, as I always do, but it’s a fair style choice. I like the characters introduced thus far.

I like the name Wyck! Great characters and scene set up, too!

I loved it from start to finish, but this line really stood out: “I did loose my eye in the effort, but I think this eye patch looks dashing!” Hilarious…
