Fantasy as a genre has grown in popularity over the past few decades. Rune is a fantasy short story set in a completely unique world. In this short story, we follow Eshka as she grows up and discovers who she really is. When Jaro, the wizard, shows up, her life changes in ways she couldn’t foresee. Rune is a story about a young woman who discovers who she really is, grows up and leaves her old life, and discovers her past and the fate of her mother. The world of Rune is set in a typical fantasy pre-modern world, where technology hasn’t advanced to the point of automobiles, the printing press, or guns. Magic and deities exist and influence the world, changing the course of history. It takes inspiration from popular fantasy works such as A Song of Ice and Fire and Lord of the Rings.
