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…


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…


Terrible is The Enemy

Maguleth stood in the Daghaivans’ study, none too pleased, and none too forgiving, as he looked through the red-tinted water of the scrying bowl, at the treacherous councilman Armstrun’s cringing face. “Do you think I’m going to let everything I’ve built for the last 50 of your miserable human years, be torn away by some…


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…


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 Wizard Prepares the Battlefield, Then Heals Her Sisters

Nepta is the wizard-in-training of the group. In their world, you need magic on the battlefield to support your troops, and to defeat the magical attacks of the enemy. Nepta fills that role. She’s calm, quiet, analytical and very intelligent. She’s totally dedicated to her spellcraft, and works very hard to exceed in it. Her…


Don’t Flinch, Even if You’re Busted

Sye-nitch had been comforted by Imep’s logic, until a couple days later, as Imep and Croll, and a few other Druntuss leaders were quietly plotting over a table.  One of the Oolar’s big bodyguards walked into the tavern, summoning Croll.  When the regiment commander ordered Sye-nitch to come along, the lookout felt impending doom. His…


Only Fawnlum Could Do This

In the eastern quarter of Henbrace, in the Plavence and stronghold of the city’s wizards, Morgenferrin sat before Jorain Maretto. “A pleasure it is, Lady Copprin, to welcome such a distinguished visitor to my quarters.” “Thank you for your hospitality, especially in light of my heritage.” “Well, I’ve never entertained a dragon before,” he said,…


Play a Dangerous Scheme

Moving among the many townsfolk and refugees, wearing the magical disguise of an old human male in worn farmer’s garb, Egress watched the people of Swinden, as they hurriedly evacuated their town in central Humboldt Bruit.  Those who had already fled danger, were able to take to the road again more quickly, with word of…
