Delving into their dark upbringing in the depths of Tao's Prismatic Jungle, "That Other Life" follows the story of Vagus and his older brother, Mycaelis, as they are raised to meet the standards of their warrior-minded parents and obligate themselves to a life of mystery and danger. In a jungle such as this, danger comes in many forms, some of which will change the lives of the two siblings forever.
