  Thank you for reading this little snippet of my Twilight Trials universe. It’s set right in between Marcus’ Trial by Water and before Ellis’ Trial by Earth. I wanted to give a little glimpse into the mysterious Master Kalen and a bit about Terrance, with their unusual gifts and the interactions between all three of them. I hope you enjoyed this short adventure and if you’d like to read more about them, check out Ellis’ story, Trial by Earth. Please keep in mind that I am a self-published author, if you notice any typos or grammatical errors, or would just like to share your thoughts on this story, feel free to email me at: sdharricharan@gmail.com ~Sara
