The Tomb

Zarabel stood before the doorway. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes and opened her mind to the Eye of Eternity. The light of Asai, the force and form of creation, filled her inner vision and her skin tingled. It wasn’t like that for everyone, she knew. The tingling in the skin. Her teachers […]

The Eternal

Jorah had made it across the desert. He Soot, his horse. Of a hundred men and women who had started out across the Anvil, only he and his horse had survived. And he was a squire! Ser Telessa was the Knight who had gathered the expedition. It was she and the Circle who had found […]

Dragon Bond

I remember the day my father brought me into the Sanctarum to find my dragon. It went against all tradition.
