“Right here!” Caitlyn chirped. “Compliments of the captain’s cabin.” The oldest of the men, who was actually younger in the face than the white of his hair suggested, came up to Fawnlum after the cages were open. “Good Lady, thank you for – “ “Wait,” Fawnlum told him, then looked at the youth. “You were…
Careful Who You Ride With
As night fell, Caitlyn and Dreighton were awakened to eat. The captain told Fawnlum’s party to go first, in the galley space in the hold. Steadying themselves as they climbed below decks, guided by the swaying lights of the lanterns, they let the ship’s cook serve their stew and soft-tack. “Begging your pardon, miss,” the…
First Time Overseas
After jogging northeast for four days and making good time, Fawnlum reached the port town of Rijult. Now she and the rest of her company walked briskly along the docks of the trade city, to keep up with Sienna, who had secured passage across the Brierren Channel. “You’re not putting us in a leaky rowboat,…
The Bargaining Table
She looked at him, still light-hearted. “You’ve wanted to ask me that for these many months, haven’t you? “You do know that when I give my word, it’s good,” she answered, still pleasant in her tone, but serious in her eyes, being very tolerant, in dragon terms, of someone asking such a question. “I know…
The Local Dragon’s Past
She took a sip of her ale. “I was involved in a certain conflict in the land of Calador, as some of the current generation knows.” She spoke slowly, without a hint of her usual good humor. Maybe it was because she had powers of persuasion, or because it was a chance to learn something…
The Idiot Hero
After nightfall, Baneck and Torsar entered Morgenferrin Copprin’s tavern – – The Watchlight. Easily the biggest and swankiest place in Dumian, or the continent of Khostead, for that matter, it was right next to Lady Copprin’s inn and store. She had many other such businesses; but these she personally worked as her base of operations….
This is Not Goodbye
“A beautiful morning for traveling,” Fawnlum said. “It would be better spent with you, than seeing you go,” Baneck replied, as he stood with her on the east-bound road leading out of Dumian. Taking a deep breath of the pleasant spring air, she cast her eyes a couple miles to the southwest, where the festival…
Consequences
Fawnlum sat with Baneck at the Lichners’ table, along with Baneck’s mother Amilyn, his father Granholm, Uncle Torsar, Saraty, and her own mighty father, Brajon Raijum. Standing next to the windows were Sienna, Honee, and Nepta. “Ho-ho! You should have seen it, nephew,” Torsar chuckled. “Fawnlum had to leave, of course,” he continued. “But ol’…
The Villain and the Toady
Far to the west-north-west, among barren peaks, a shadow entered a cave at the base of a cold, lonely mountain. His magic defeated traps and guard-beasts, as he made his way slowly but surely toward the mountain’s heart, and the lair contained within. The stranger knew his presence was detected by the wards along the…
It’s All Your Fault
There was numbness, and a detachment from the senses. Air currents carried ash and soot around him. Baneck tried to breath, but found the air dry and heavy. A short distance away, he saw a large dragon, dark bronze in color, hostile and menacing. He wanted to run, but something kept him from it. He…
