Chapter 5 Part 2At the bottom of the narrow mountain path was a small but rapid-flowing river, with only a single bridge for crossing. On the far side, a garrison of mercenaries were stationed, with orders to destroy the stone bridge if any invasion force attempted to take the Western Gate. When they neared the bridge, Hala called for a stop.     ‘What’s the matter?’ Karl asked in a cautious tone as they all dismounted.     ‘No problems,’ Hala said, grinning at Karl’s pessimism. ‘I just thought we could use this river to clean ourselves up a bit. I haven’t bathed properly for a w Chapter 5 Part 2

Chapter 5 Part 1The ride down the cliff road took much time, for the road was long and the ground was hard. As they descended, they talked about their disguises and revised their knowledge, knowing that they could not afford to make any mistakes of judgement when discussing their craft with others. Hala struggled to understand the concepts of financing, but grasped the basics very well – he knew what to say, as long as no-one asked him any difficult questions. ‘Just walk in there and give them your offer,’ Felras warned him. ‘If they start haggling, threaten to walk out on them – it’s a good offer, and they’ll just accept i Chapter 5 Part 1

Chapter 4 Part 2‘Trust me – armed as I am, you’d be no match for me, wrestler. Stay in the roped ring where it’s safe, but don’t try to scare me.’ Hala’s hand was resting on his sword’s hilt gently, but menacingly.     ‘Care to test your words?’ Braven retorted, hefting his enormous hammer from its place on his saddle. He seemed furious at Hala’s defiance, his eyes narrow and his fact contorted with anger. He almost reminded Hala of his steed, Krak: the anklosaur reared its ugly horned head and growled with such rage that Felras visibly flinched; nearby a pack of small saurus, harmles Chapter 4 Part 2

Chapter 4 Part 1The increased party had left the village as soon as they had finished breakfast, yet within minutes Felras was hungry again. ‘Not surprising,’ he had muttered as the others jibed him for his immense appetite. ‘My trade is the selling and purchasing of foodstuffs, after all.’     ‘You told us before it was in breeding itacosaurs,’ Nati had said accusingly, Felras shrugged and grinned at this.     ‘I have a lot of business, young Nati,’ he had replied infuriatingly. Hala had glared at him from over Nati’s head and Felras had turned away with a short laugh. &nbs Chapter 4 Part 1

That was a fun two months... I think.

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 24, 2007, 6:29 PM
Funny how things can slip your mind for a while without even noticing. I've just been so busy with other things (working long hours, seeing my friends and family, uploading my iTunes folder into my brain) that I've not been feeling particularly Devianty. Since I generally don't feel very Arty either, I just shied away from the site for a while withou really thinking about it. But I've just read Lord of the Rings, so now I'm back and better than ever! Sort of. But that's enough from me, the UK's Would-Be-Dullest-Man-But-Isn't-Even That Interesting: I'm off to download the music for the old Soul Reaver games. Living the high life has never been THIS much fun... (generally it's rather more fun)

I hope you've all survived without much Post-Tomatic Stress, and that Kamalli has posted up more Legion - it makes browsing through my list of 70-ish deviations much more fun.
Tom

Yeah, for 'Something New...' - my first original story on dA. The prologue is up already, and I'll post the next part when my exams are over. Since it's the first story of my own creation, I want to see what people think of it.
