  Summary

  A story of unlikely friendship between a ruthlessly practical wizard and an ever empathetic witch. Journey is assertive, strong, and abrasive, but doesn't know how to connect with the people and world around her. Aloe is gentle, kind, and extremely sensitive, but this has often ended in him getting walked all over.

  The two clash from the moment they meet, but can they put aside their differences and learn from each other what they each lack? Or will their extreme personalities continue to get in the way of their own goals in life?
