It’s Fawnlum’s Turn

Fawnlum charged, as if she was going for the chest wound. Felldrake back-stepped, held Baneck out of the way, and breathed another blast of fire at her. The blistering onslaught completely engulfed her, and sent a wave of heat radiating all around for everyone in the crowd to feel. Fresh cries of grief and anger…


He Got in a Couple Good Licks

Baneck held his sword high, and shouted, “Diergon in Victory!” The cheering turned into a furious thunder around him. Then, suddenly, to Fawnlum’s shock, he slapped the flat of his sword against his shield, muttering a strange series of words, as if he was casting a spell! Felldrake narrowed his eyes, and reared forward.  He…


Flashback: Never Trust an Agreeable Man

Fawnlum did not hear her.  She was staring, but seeing nothing.  Looking helplessly on, with her strength and skill useless, her thoughts drifted.  Her mind went back, desperately and futilely thinking of the night before, when she could have prevented this. <*>                                                          <*>                                                      <*> She called in greeting to Baneck, as she walked up to…

The crowd drew back as the body descended, its shadow making lazy circles as it claimed the ground.  It made tighter and tighter…


King and Country

Then she and her attendants went on, leaving Fawnlum with new thoughts, and troubles. After a few moments, the young warrioress walked from behind the cover of the wagon and rejoined the revelers, staring straight ahead but seeing nothing.  She suddenly found herself again in the company of her friends, with Honee still perched atop…


Best of Friends

“Morning, Nepta,” she called, as she started to stand. “Good morning, Fawn-“ The junior wizard did not get the word out of her mouth, as Fawnlum suddenly felt the flat of small dagger resting under her chin. “Good morning, Lady Raijum,” a soft voice smugly greeted in her ear. “Good morning, Honee,” Fawnlum sighed, as…


Enter the Heroine

Fawnlum Raijum, unaware of the despoiling of one fair land several years before, smiled as the breaking dawn of spring illuminated the world around her. Far to the west of the continent of Calador, across the body of ocean known as the Brierren Channel, sat her home in the southeastern region of the rugged island…
