This month, we are featuring Silver Wing: On a desert planet in the far future, an old dragon hunter embarks on a desperate journey to save her estranged son. For centuries, the dragons have been sleeping. But in their rest, they provide a crucial energy source necessary to keep the planet Toon Flats habitable. Amphet Dahl is a diviner, gifted with the ability to sense the dragons’ dreams and memories and to the disappointment of her son, Afton, she uses this ability to assist in harvesting dragon bodies for fuel. It’s been years since Amphet last saw him, and she relies on alcohol to keep her regret at bay. When Amphet has a vision of Afton being in danger, she sets out on a perilous journey across the desert to save him. But her own life hangs in the balance when she least expects it, the dragons wake. Silver Wing is a Realm production, written by ZZ Claybourne and performed by Sanya Simmons. Listen Away.
