As the Traveler struggles with haunting visions of their life before the Echowood, Grael takes a rare moment of quiet to tell them a story from his own past – a myth-making attempt to reach the stars high above the world.

Starring Sam Taylor as Grael and Tal Minear as The Traveler, with original music by Jesse Haugen. Written and produced by Trevor Van Winkle, and made possible by our supporters on Kickstarter, Patreon.com/homesteadcorner, and ko-fi.com/homesteadcorner. Executive produced by Axel Allcock.
