Chapter 46 “We should not linger here!” protested Ash Vani tremulously. She looked around with dread. The small threesome crossed a knot of old, broken trees. As the natural light dwindled. They trampled through ferns, breathing in the air thick with pollen. They well knew it to flummox minds, and it weighed heavily on […]
Chapter 42 My beloved is the most beautiful, amongst thousands and thousands. A stray thought. She contemplated her navel for a time. She may have imagined hearing a distant voice as Eulin flickered above her head. She couldn’t be sure. It was far away and washed-out by other sounds. The quartet un~vanished from nothingness and […]
Chapter 40 It starts with one. One with the desire to endure beyond prudence. A lone blade of grass that refuses to lie down in the breeze, as the wind boisterous and undaunting is tested.

Chapter 30 It was a tranquil afternoon as thenoon-day sun shone its rays across the rolling hills and upon the lucent surface of the estuary that moved along languidly. Tawny Legette’s above soared from the eaves of tall white Sendal trees. They grew just below the misty pelmet of the lonely mountain. The mountains name […]
Chapter 29 She had just finished sealing the hole to the underground tunnels. And now, Grozette lay winded upon the ground, as the menacing abomination loomed above her. She scarcely managed to turn over when the dark shape flew like a long black ribbon making loops upon loops, in the velvety dark of the […]
Chapter 28 Brownie looked at the strange deity “are you talking figuratively? Or do you mean in a metaphorical sense,” she asked precociously?
