This one I wrote this past summer. At the moment I was first ‘hit’ with the inspiration, I was sitting on a log under a small bush in our wood…[Read more]

@andrew Thank you! 🙂 Jonathan, his personal servant, is part of the package but he isn’t really important, so you can do with him as you please.

Thank you again. * waves and slips out the door*

( @kari-karast @everyone I’m going to pull out of this story game. I’m sorry to leave so abruptly. I’m going to try to make Megyn and Jim leaving as smooth as possible. @andrew I’m offering you Julius Armstrand for your own character. We’ll just pretend that he wasn’t really Jim but a different person all together, posing as a soldier. If you do…[Read more]

@kari-karast (he doesn’t want to reveal to anyone his real intentions . . . that is, . . . not yet. BYE!)

(Wish the others would come!! Just we two is  . . . difficult. BTW I’m going to have to get off. See ya 🙂 )

The phantom warrior remained silent. He was now so close, Karim could reach out and touch his glistening armor.

(In Jim -Julius’s- mind at this moment–  They aren’t retreating. Brave fellows they must be. I’m going to have to m…[Read more]

The phantom warrior advanced but in silence. He didn’t even draw a weapon but simply walking towards them with slow, measured steps, as though he would walk right through them.

@jane-maree  LOTS of cool ideas here . . .  I like @scarletimmortalized ‘s ideas. I’ll let you know if I think of one of my own.

“Sir Armstrand!” A young soldier dashed into the stable yard.

“Yes, Achilles, what is it?” Sir Armstrand turned to him from where he was watching a servant currying a horse.

“Lord Deathrock has declared the castle on high alert. Intruders have been spotted. All defenses are to be raised.”

Almost before he had finished speaking, another youth in…[Read more]

“A Map!” Megyn thought. “That will help me figure this place out!” Megyn studied the map. “So we’re here?” She touched a finger to the map.

@evelyn It’s pretty! 🙂

As far as critiques, I would agree with Libby and kb-writer.

@parker @evelyn @andrew  Thanks! 🙂

@kari-karast

“My cello bow.” She slid her fingers down in the string. It seemed okay, not at all harmed by its misuse as a weapon. “It’s for playing a musical instrument, though I wasn’t the most kind to it today.” She turned her eyes back to the boy and her face softened. “Do you think he’ll okay?”

@kari-karast  @introverted-elf

“One of the soldiers was whipping him just before the trumpet blew.” Megyn’s voice shook a little. “When the soldier heard it, he stopped but yet was going to force him to march across the yard–” She pressed her lips together and watched Kieron’s hands as he wrapped the wounds.

Her eyes focused on the ground near…[Read more]

Bonus post! Had a little extra time this weekend and got on here! This one is a rewritten version of one I wrote couple of years ago. It was a…[Read more]

@kari-karast ( 🙂 me too! )

Megyn knelt beside him. The sight of the poor boy had infuriated her before; now it broke her heart.

“Is-is there something I can do? Please-” Her voice broke off. She lifted her eyes to his face, full of pleading.

@andrew  @jane-maree  Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. 🙂
