Welcome to a world where humans have a variety of different shapes. Some can fly, some can breathe water, some can hang from trees by their tails alone. All are related, all are human. And some, born to each shape, can work magic, and are called fireborn.

Butterfly Dream - A Peek At The Distant Past General information:
In case I don't repeat it in every fiction post, I'd really like to hear from you! Questions are welcome, or if you enjoyed it but don't have a specific comment, even a smiley. If you're not signed in to LiveJournal, please identify yourself, it's pleasant to know who I'm talking with. Oh, and I'd love to know how you found me!
If you enjoy my work, and can afford it, there's a donation button so you can sponsor me--the more I make doing this, the more time I will spend on it. (I've been laid off since January, so I have to consider practicalities.) Please remember that PayPal takes a cut of each donation, and the smaller the donation, the higher PayPal's percentage works out to be. Please don't donate less than $1. If the button isn't working, or if you don't want to use PayPal, send me a message.
Finally, please feel free to friend me, and to refer my stories to your friends.
Thank you for reading!
