A few days later, Natty and Mariba stood on the southern outskirts of Neldane, beside the road leading out of town. Natty gently scratched Bello’s shoulder, in the pre-dawn light of a crisp spring morning, as gentle breezes wafted through the leafy branches overhead. She gave a firm rub to the bend of his neck,…
Chapter 1 Part 1
Within the sweeping lands of the continent of Calador, light winds blew through the southern corners of the human kingdom of Falconrake. Even in the hazardous Aumbridge Forest, the gentle movement of air gave a reminder, of the natural order of peace for all living things in the physical world. West of the Slick…
Equestrian Girl Adventure
I’m working on the next book in the Jagged Coast series, but in the meantime, I want to post some short stories. These are set in the same Fantasy-adventure world as Jagged Coast, on the same continent, but take place in a far different territory, where an equestrian teenage girl, named Natty, and her horse,…
Epilogue
Baneck inspected the formed saber in the vise. He could not help but notice how much his work had improved over the last few months. He heard the wagon of Dromen Hashing go by, fully loaded, by the creaks of the axles. Then Dromen shouted, and Baneck looked up, stepping out into the street, to…
We Were Few, And Evil Rejoiced. Then We Attacked.
Fawnlum did not ask any questions, spurred by the desperation in Morgenferrin’s voice, but climbed up her offered wing, clamoring up to straddle the base of the dragon’s neck. Taking a firm grip of the frills running down the length of Morgy’s spine, she reached down to help pull Nepta up behind her, as the…
You Can’t Fight That
It had been three days since they had returned. Nepta, having been treated with Morgy’s spell of recovery, was eating almost as furiously as Sienna, both working to regain their strength. In Morgy’s words, Lucas had been most skillful in dealing with members of the city watch. They had been surprised, and rightfully anxious, when…
Escape?
Caitlyn yelled from the perimeter of the firelight. “They’re coming!” “Caitlyn has told me quite a lot,” Morgy said. “Good job.” “Thanks,” Fawnlum heartily replied. Fawnlum stepped aside, as Lucas bent over Halrick with his wand of healing. Morgy looked out and away, focusing her own acute eyes from the top of her long neck….
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…
