Sherbert and the Partly Digested Amulet of Power

F. Artington hails from a mystical realm called Alegna. When he first arrived on Earth, the harsh reality of the planet's environmental challenges struck him with undeniable force. After travelling all over our wondrous yet troubled planet, destiny brought Artington to London, England, where he discovered two unusual infants whose immense powers he instantly recognised must be from Alegna. He liberated the infants and returned them to the sanctuary of Alegna, deriving immense joy from chronicling their extraordinary lives there. Regrettably, these chronicles could not safely be shared within Alegnan society and so Artington made the fateful decision to return to Earth and present his accounts to the world, cloaked within the realm of ‘fiction’.Now, nestled in a charming abode not far from Loch Ness, Artington continues his devoted chronicling, accompanied on this whimsical journey by his loyal canine companion, Grump.
