Releasing the Words to the Wilds

When The Knights Exemplar, Constance and Vivainne came to the trysting place with bags full of words, fresh and wriggling to get out into the wild once more. They found a Knight that was Blue, but then again was not the Blue Knight. Who are you then, that you know not your trusted friends andContinueContinue reading “Releasing the Words to the Wilds”

Words in the Wind

Vivainne, in this same time, was at searching for the great winds.  And all that came to her mind, a great mountain that arose about and above the clouds of snow and where no trees could find their home. All day and some of the nights she travelled, up through the little feet hills, upContinueContinue reading “Words in the Wind”

Words at the Sea

In the dark of the night, a sound, a footfall, the rasp of weapons upon mail woke the three knights.

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.

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 Tree of Serpents

Now do you believe in my tale, said the Chimney Sweep in a bold manner. Curiosity asks her mother : May I go to the stars’ The small figureContinueContinue reading “The Tree of Serpents”

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 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”
