He was always bejewelled and the greatest jewel of all was the great green gem in his mighty crown. Lucifer, Lightbringer, we called him for he shone with a light nigh as mighty as that of the Lord of Hosts. He was wearing it the last time I had seen him, not long prior to his fall.
Fallen From Heaven
It began as a spoof. If I had even imagined the half of how it would all turn out, I would never have embarked on it in the first place.
Island of the Dawn
The sea wind howled. The only chance was to get to the shore, look for an abandoned boat. Sergius raised his arm, signalling to his men; they crawled along, hidden by the tall meadow grass. The moonlight flickered over their shields and helmets. The only sound was a soft swishing as the grasses parted, and a slight squelching of the mud beneath their boots.
The Grail of Derwandir
"Derwandir - a name to conjure with," pronounced Malgo. The planet they were heading for was surprisingly well known of - if not well known about - despite being many parsecs away from the spacelanes that linked the human worlds. A wild and untamed world, it was often the subject of spacers tales.
The King Fisher
The sun was high in the sky as she lay on the river bank watching the water ripple and flow. All was peaceful and quiet, she could easily have imagined she was all alone in the world. There was just a slight breeze that softly rustled the leaves and grass, and a softly trilling bird in the branches overhead.
Magusto and The Fulcrum
You have to look at things objectively, Gus was fond of saying - though looking at things interdimensionally would have served him better, had that concept ever figured in his day to day vernacular.
Ye Tale of Ye Grale
Sir Blodry rode in through the gates and into the streets of Camelot. He had been out questing. At least, he had been out riding with the intention of finding a quest at some point, but never quite getting around to it. Now he was back with the inetntion of feasting a bit. Personally, he preferred the feasting to the questing side of being one of Arthur's knights. Of course, he didn't wench anymore having gained a wife after a slaying a dragon.
