This is the short story entitled: Those Eyes.

It's the background for my character in Achaea, Athelas. The whole motivation behind the creation of Athelas, was based on events in a world I ran for some friends of mine. That world, called Tunap, was of my own creation. I've lost most of my notes on that world but still had the background story for Athelas tucked away. I'm keeping it here for posterity.
