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.

Her sense of orientation was as foggy…


She Can Cut Through Any Wall if There’s a Reward on the Other Side

Before their eighth year of life, Sienna and Fawnlum were rivals, but she could not overcome Fawnlum in their sparring matches. Recognizing that the strongest among their people would fight the strongest enemies, Sienna declared Fawnlum her sister, and where Fawnlum found the greatest battle, there Sienna would be. Like Fawnlum, she’s grown to be…


The Power of an Idea

For a ten-day since finding the boundary marker, they had traveled deeper. As they sat, passively bearing the dread of the living shadow around them, they heard the occasional rustle of leaves, letting them know they were still in the world of the living. They had something to cook, but no ambition to do so….
