Forged: Legendary Crafts and Delivery Services
The Story
With mystical beasts wreaking havoc all over the world, people turn to their heroes and legends for much needed help, and at the side of every good, legendary hero is an equally legendary weapon that has been forged, enchanted and, most importantly, mailed and delivered on time. Wyatt, a nine-year-old, world class blacksmith and budding wizard, works in a family owned business creating and delivering legendary weapons with his two older siblings, mother, father and oracles who place orders on behalf of future heroes. With the world on the line, on time delivery is a guarantee… or at least it should be.

The Story
Choosing between living the life you want and living the life your “supposed to” is not always an easy choice. Noah, embracing his truest-self, wants to pursue a career in costume design, something his loving, but traditional, parents would never approve of. Azarie, the perfect, model daughter of a very stern, political family, dreams of embracing the hobbies she secretly loves, hobbies her social circle would never abide by. The two live different lives and their social statuses keep them from ever crossing paths until they have a chance encounter that exposes some common ground: the desire to live the life they’ve chosen for themselves. Together, the two set out to put it all on the line and show everyone who they really are and what they want to achieve through the unlikely medium of cosplay. Their friendship will be tested and their faith in themselves and each other will be tried, but by staying true to themselves they discover that they truly need each other.
