Nightshine Islands - A Fantasy Podcast

Yarray the Living Palindrome will be presented as a series of 100-Tweet stories on Twitter.  The stories are intended to be ultra-short, pulp style, fantasy fiction.  The choice was made to keep Yarray on as a part of the islands, living primarily on the Crescent.

You can find his stories at @yarraystory.

The best explanation of the character comes from some of the first tweets of the first story.

Yarray touched his right hand to the firewood, setting it aflame. The pewter stein in his left hand simultaneously froze over.

He was the Living Palindrome by his singular name and unique ability.  His magic would only work under three rules.

First, whatever magic he performed with his right caused the opposite result with his left.

Second, he had to touch both subjects of his magic.   One with his right hand, and one with his left.

Third, he had to understand the entwined causes and effects of casting two opposing spells simultaneously.

Thus was he able to enjoy a warm fire and a cold mug of ale from a single use of his magic.  He could not have one without the other
