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. Her partner, Vivainne, continued to sleep peacefully. Constance came out in the cold air upon the battlements of the tower to look out as theContinueContinue reading “The New Eray”
The Rising Star
The Blue Knight took up his quill thoughtfully and began to write. It was very warm in the bakery as the ovens were being prepared for the first bake of the day. The three Kongs were forced to take off their space suits, as they soon became intolerably hot. A huge vat of proved yeastyContinueContinue reading “The Rising Star”
The Tree of Serpents
The light from the fire grew bright as the sun in some seconds, sending rays into the corners of the room and casting black shadows elsewhere.

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. I have attempted, she continued, somewhat ineffectually, to tame my hair so as not to present too wild a spectacle and cause you to retract your kind offer. 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”
The Pig in a Basket
The apples are in the basket, the pig loves apples. The pig decides to live in the basket. The basket says, No I am full of apples and anyway you won’t fit. The pig is disappointed and spills the apples out of the basket and puts one foot in the basket. The basket says, Really,ContinueContinue reading “The Pig in a Basket”
The Mouse and the Sock
The Blue Knight returned to the City of Az laden with revelation. He went to the great hall where a fire had also been laid, where he yearned to be welcomed with honour amongst those people. My truth, he cried, is ‘I Do Not Know, so I must Dance’ Well, the people of Az cameContinueContinue reading “The Mouse and the Sock”
