Awakened in the Marks

Caitlyn and Firgristle were keeping watch on the wall, when tiny white motes of light winked into view from the north. “Wait!” the syiajryn shouted, recognizing the moonlight.  Then she was over the wall, running to meet the dark-skinned elves, and lead them through the safe paths. Having heard the shout, Nepta climbed up on…


This is How a Warrior Treats Her Captors

An awareness slowly wavered before her, amid the bobbing sensation inside her head.  Somewhere between a dream and a memory, Sienna’s mind was taken back to the time as a young girl, when she had been caught in a beaching wave, and had been spun head over heels. Her sense of orientation was as foggy…


Right Now, You Need an Enemy Spy on Your Side

The barely-there light of the sickly grey dawn was a perfect match for her mood, as she sat, holding Sienna’s saber. “I’ve been played for a fool.” “Well,” Honee dangerously lectured, “the master wizard, or whoever, doesn’t need to fight you, when he can outsmart you.” Caitlyn had found the spot where Sienna had fallen. …


It’s From the Direction You’re Not Looking That Danger Will Come

Repair, as well as new machinations, rapidly took place once they reached their little stronghold. After the second day, as Fawnlum was filling the bigger kiln with cut wood, she asked Nepta, “You sure you don’t want to rest?” “I don’t need it,” the young wizard said.  “My spells are set.  Just make sure everyone…


These Are My People Skills

The foreboding forest greeted them, as Fawnlum led them out of town two weeks later.  They walked along the southwest edge of Windsaeve, trying to avoid any fights at the moment. “Fawnlum, I know what you’re thinking,” Sienna quietly whispered.  “You should reconsider.” It had taken more time, but Baneck had produced what she needed. …


The Deadly Inspiration

The next morning, minus Morgenferrin, they were all sitting around the table again, having much the same discussion as when Torsar’s group had arrived. “We’ve killed a lot of them, but more keep coming,” Fawnlum explained. “So let’s kill more!” Caitlyn offered. “Aye!” Dreighton and Halrick quickly agreed. “It doesn’t matter,” Fawnlum fumed, tapping the…


The Ancient Magic Makes Waves

Fawnlum stood with Baneck at the door, before the lightless dawn.  She had her vest lifted up, exposing her back to his view. “Yes, there’s bruises there.” She let the garment drop back down, and re-cinched the front strings.  Then she gave a long, satisfied, full-body stretch. She leaned closer to him with a sly…


The Man Stays to Work While the Woman Goes to Fight. They’ll Both Do Great Things


She’ll Make a Name for Herself

Here is the lead heroine of my story, Jagged Coast. Gifted even by the standards of her people, she is in training to be a battlefield commander and leader of fighting regiments. She is strong and skilled, but feels her role is the protection of life, and the right of people to live a peaceful…


An Enchanted Mark That Carries Great Power, And Great Danger

This is an early pic of Baneck Lichner, Fawnlum’s fiancé. Even though he’s not a warrior, Fawnlum loves him very much, and vice-versa. Gifted like other certain blacksmiths of their kingdom, he can carve magic runes into weapons and things. The powerful and mysterious Mark of Wintermore which has shown itself on his skin leads…
