There came in sight upon the track way a battle most fierce. A bird no larger than the fist of a young child was set upon by a wolf the size of a house, its fur, all rough and foul, with drool falling from its fangs, each the length of a knife.

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,ContinueContinue 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. First appeared but an orchard, albeit an orchard as wide as the seas. The trees, lines of trees with boughs of fruitContinueContinue reading “The Not Clever Fox”
The Shadow Wall
The shadow that deceives watches. Some journey, dust, sound, they went, they traveled, it was not hot, it rained.

The darkness cloaks uponContinueContinue reading “The Shadow Wall”

The Journey Home – The Sea Nymphs
The shipe sailed quiet and Vivainne and the Blue Knight did read the sun and the stars as they had been shown right by the elders on the Isle of Others, the darkness of night came in the day and the waters fell black and oily. With this Vivainne knew that their path must soonContinueContinue reading “The Journey Home – The Sea Nymphs”
The Journey Home – The Isle of Others
Now when they came to leave their boat was full victualed and watered against the journey. Vivainne and the Blue Knight took their leave of the women well and set sail. In the sea they were lost as the stars were covered in darkness. On the third night some wind came and filled the sailContinueContinue reading “The Journey Home – The Isle of Others”
The Journey Home – Isle of Women
Now the wind stayed its hand and the shipe was quiet and still for many days, thus the shipe could not travel whither they wished and must follow the current.
