Planewalker Games has released chapter 4 of On The Fly, a short story set within the world of The Broken Hourglass, the company's upcoming fantasy RPG. The chapter continues the tale of Lyrio, Maron, Zephra and Aenarii. The Broken Hourglass will feature a 2D isometric viewpoint, detailed character development, and a rich storyline reminiscent of classics in the genre.

He was surprised that Zephra believed that he would not notice her shoddy treatment of his gift. Studying the high color in her cheeks, Desonir reconsidered.

He could recognize the signs: she was trying to read him--she was calculating--but there was an air of frenetic desperation about her that made him hesitant to look too closely. Damning himself for a coward, he turned to the curious postman.

"I realize that my preferences must appear eccentric to you, Mister Bregna," Desonir continued, "but you must admit a man in my position cannot be too careful."
