Now all this music was causing trouble, as music will. Trouble for you, trouble for me and trouble for all the others. The Knights of Az, including the Blue Knight (man), who had managed to get some quality childcare, Vivainne Desegur and her partner Constance, The Darkest Knight with his retinue of the Homeless, alsoContinueContinue reading “The Well Well Well”

Splitting the Mota
Now Sheba, the beloved of the Sphinx, had catalogued and experimented with all the strange plants, berries, fruits, saps, leaves, barks, minerals, and essences that they had once, not long, collected on their travels. She had distilled and extracted, separated, and fractioned, boiled and sieved, added and subtracted all the strange participant bits of theContinueContinue reading “Splitting the Mota”
The Monument of Memories
Some people say, remarked the Sphinx, looking back over her shoulder as she walked, to check that her tail was fashioning the correct swish to maximise its beauty, that memories are to be gathered and held close, stuck into your head to check who you are. But I say, let go, free yourself of theContinueContinue reading “The Monument of Memories”
Looking Back Over My Shoulder
Look, said the Raggedy Man. Looking back over my shoulder, I can see in your eye. I see, like bricks in a wall, the images of times that are me, bits me, like parts or pages in a book took out, or eggs in a basket fall out, or jars on a kitchen shelf slipContinueContinue reading “Looking Back Over My Shoulder”
The Wisdom of Smaller Creatures
It is a fact, related the Wandering Rabbit, that in this world, the wisest creatures available to inquiry are small and often of a timid inclination. Young mice, for instance, are taught philosophy and the art of cuisine from a tender age. It is also well known that rabbits invented football, billiards, skiing, bridge, cheeseContinueContinue reading “The Wisdom of Smaller Creatures”

The Ancestral Pile
When I was a young Darkest Child, my home, a chateau, seemed much undone by siege and siege engine. The stone was fall all about in great heaps and only some few chambers and dungeons kept the cold and wind in their place. The reason, this is because my parent and mother were very keenContinueContinue reading “The Ancestral Pile”
The Armour of the Darkest Knight
The Sphinx returned to the bartisan above the great gates to parlez with the Darkest Knight. The Council has convened, and you will be in the knowing of your fate this very morning soon, the Sphinx told the Knight. In the mean, I would have great interest of the design of your armour. I myselfContinueContinue reading “The Armour of the Darkest Knight”
The City and the Darkest Knight
Now, Sheba and the Sphinx came to the Great City of Az, wherein the Blue Knight and his partner the Blue Woman Knight made their current. The Blue Woman (Knight) had recently been delivered of a fine Baby Knight and was keen to go questing in the Badlands where adventure was all but unavoidable andContinueContinue reading “The City and the Darkest Knight”
The Heavy Lump
Outside they traveled by day and rested. Soon, by the way, they came to a wide place of high grass in which it was, to be lost, an easy thing, so simple. How shall we come to the other side without a circle happening said She Sphinx, my left leg is shorter than my rightContinueContinue reading “The Heavy Lump”
