the tellers
"There was a time, long ago, where words did fail and dreams did so. And on that day when hope was lost, the lands were silent, masked with frost. But when it seemed all time had passed, two voices sounded out at last.. ‘Once upon a time’ they said, waking all we thought was dead”
““Wonderfully engaging””
