The Fox Tames the Water

Constance Tames the Wind
On Friday, Constance traveled to the highest point, the high place, that she might find the wind so strong in its home.

The Bridge Over the River Why
They came, three knights, a fox, and a box of thoughts, to great ravine across which spanned a bridge most marvellous.

Thin Ice
The Ice, a lake or wide river could not be counted, a sea of ice all covered to the sides. Ice made hard, wherein all manner of creatures made their homes. In it, on it and under it. Ice for all the time of memory, hard and true, now in this time of broken airs,Continue reading "Thin Ice"
The Not Clever Fox
Now, together through the wall, through the smoky dark, now the air, relief and commitment. Many distances to cover before they might come to the city, the City of Az, the Greener City.
