Words at the Sea
In the dark of the night, a sound, a footfall, the rasp of weapons upon mail woke the three knights. To arms, spoke Vivainne in a calm and strong voice, they are come to steal away these words that we have rescued and mistreat them once more, it cannot be allowed. With that the knightsContinueContinue reading “Words at the Sea”
Sitting Down with the Plague Beast
In the morning, bright, they set forth, the mist still thickened about the legs of the horses. Their sword, as yet by their side, were sharpened and their spears were wrapped around with the colours of their knighthood. Into the forest, darker upon dark, they followed close on the raking claws of the Plague Beast,ContinueContinue reading “Sitting Down with the Plague Beast”
The New Eray
Constance came awake in the same moment as the birds outside. The tower wherein she had remained the night, one of many in the great City of Az, was silent.

The Tale of the White Stone
I am so sorry, said the person who entered, The door provided less resistance than I had imagined. She turned and closed the door softly.

Then, stoopingContinueContinue reading “The Tale of the White Stone”
The Door Between Us
The Blue Knight came low, with little confidence to speak of. His tales were not appreciated by the citizens of Az. He decided to try one final tale that might shew his mind in clear. Thus came The Tale of The Door Between Us. There came, one evening late, a knocking on the door ofContinueContinue reading “The Door Between Us”
The Hound and the Spice Bat
The Hound, large, hairy, ferocious, and always hungry, met a bat upon the eternal road upon which we all travel. Being a hungry hound, the first question that came to the hound’s mind was, of course, can I eat you? That’s complicated, replied the Bat, because, as you can see, (at this point she openedContinueContinue reading “The Hound and the Spice Bat”
