Introduction: In a galaxy ruled by the iron fist and patronage of massive city-sized ships called, The Barges, the main character Mevare (Mevi) is given to these Barges as a sacrifice for continued patronage and sustenance for her family. Being mistreated, ignored, and uneducated, Mevare must learn what living in service to the god-like Magi, who maintain and run The Barges, is like. The strange mysteries The Barges contain and emit, as they defy all laws of physics, reality, and allow the use of strange abilities normal people see as magic. The investigation and exploration of The Barges takes Mevare through many worlds, realms, and places within and without The Barges.Posting one chapter every week, usually on Friday or Saturday...
