Chapter 1 of the book in which a young Timmy learns that his name isn't Timmy; that he has strange latent abilities he can't use and doesnt understand and thanks to a disgusting and tramautic experience of his own deserved making due to naivity makes a friend and builds plenty of charachter.  LOTS of character.

Mause the uplifted Mouse and Kat the Cartoon Digital Intelligence Cat live together in a tiny storage unit in the future.  Rent is due and they have no immediate plan to pay it until the Block Party has a poetry slam planned.

Bron is not the protagonist of this story.  As a random peasant near an enchanted wood, he would be fine with that, but while he is not the protagonist, he is central to its resolution and two enchanted talking mice show up to enlighten him about why he IS important and frame the telling of the rest of the tale of Michael, Heir of Sunfire.
