Chapter 1 Part ThreeOf the actual combat that he participated in, Karl would later recall few details. His foes, all obscene and repulsive to the eye, were so variously vile that they seemingly merged into a single breed, made identical by their wild disparities. His first foe may have been a giant or smaller than himself, humanoid or amorphous, horned and bestial or sleek and alien. Yet he recalled something pouncing upon him, and that his response had been to swing his sword at the fiend without any semblance of skill or tactics: at the moment which battle began, only a desperate will to survive possessed him, blotting out all the training he had received.

Chapter 1 Part Two‘Sara?’     It was Karl who eventually broke the silence, prompting Sara to roll upon her side and face him, her countenance already tinted with concern at the seriousness of his tone. Karl was not a man who readily spoke of grim matters, preferring to focus on light-hearted topics, but recent days had seemed intent on reducing his opportunities to derive mirth from life, and their current situation – with the threat of engagement looming over them – made any quest for solace all-but impossible. Despite a valiant effort to hold back his worries, Sara could see that the imminent battle had tipped the sca Chapter 1 Part Two

Chapter 1 Part OnePerfect moments come rarely and stay fleetingly, but their memory can last a lifetime. A flawless instant can remain within the mind against all the ravages of time; where other incidents are remembered like messages engraved into soil or sand, and so quickly suffer from the inevitable effects of erosion, some events hold such undeniable potency that they flare and shine like beacons in the night, only extinguished once the life of the rememberer has been similarly smothered.     As he watched this sunset, a wise and silent part of Karl’s consciousness knew full well that he was experiencing such a moment – a par Chapter 1 Part One

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 seem to have missed out 2008 entirely.

Well, in that case, Happy Birthday(s) to you all! Merry Christmas! Splendid New Year, Chinese or otherwise! Jolly Barack Obama-Day, and such like! A fluctuating balance between working hard and resting long has meant that surfing the Interweb has not been my priority for a long while, but now I am back by popular demand (or rather, one request and a need to assert my own importance), returning to inflict a new generation of massive texts upon all who dare to read them. If you're a big fan of thankless literary flagellation, indulge yourselves to your hearts content. I hope you enjoy them - having spent the past few seasons honing these words time and again, I'm starting to believe that I'm not a bad writer, although I've been reluctant to expose myself to public approval lest it prove to be somewhat disapproving... but no more excuses or cowardice! Time to find out what the world thinks of my works! Even if the majority view happens to be "It's too damn long!"
Good to be back, folks! I hope...
Tom

Wow, thanks for mentioning that! It's been a while since I've done anything on dA more intense than browse over a few pretty pictures - all the usual excuses, work and social life, blahdy blah blah. Anyway, the main thing I've been doing for the past, what, two years, is re-re-re-rewriting Willowblade. Each time I finish, I just start again, and find a whole new list of flaws to remove and new ideas to insert... but hey, since you asked (and since some outside opinions might help) I might start posting up the newly edited parts over the next few days. Cheers for reminding me that there's more to this website than typing in "airship" and admiring steampunk pictures!
