A few words from the author:
The idea for the Yggdrasil Codex struck me one day when I was walking through our garden in Virginia. I won€t tell you exactly why, but you€ll understand once you read the story. Much like any of you, I often asked myself - why? Why are we here? If there is a God, why did he/she create us? This story is my attempt at puzzling out those answers. Many of you enjoyed the story so much that it became an Amazon best seller, and inspired me to write a series of novels which take place 115 years after the events in the Yggdrasil Codex. (This short story is 3200 words) BONUS: Includes the first 3 chapters of the Novel "Star Wolves" which takes place 115 years after this short story!
