A Rider's Love
Eragon licked his cracked lip again. He flinched at the sting, and at the strong metallic taste that invaded his tongue. He spat some of it, yet its trace lingered, a constant reminder of how defeat tasted. The stillness of the night did not make it...
Fettered wings
Aryn eyed the approaching figures. They held torches. No. Only the shiny one did. The one with the metals and the obscured face. The two-legs beside him had no fire, only a jeweled rod passing from one paw to another. "Place it there," she pointed...
Mender of Bonds
Endor pushed the door open. It creaked in protest, and two startled maidens drew back, yelped, then ran in different directions. One tripped. The stripedpaws padded towards the helpless girl, tail flicking with deadly intent. "Follow," Endor said. He...
Breaker of Chains
Endor returned from the merchant's row to find his lady wearing one of the vilest dresses he ever laid eyes upon. "Did you find dragon pearls?" the raven haired woman smiled hopefully. She was still tying one of the many laces dangling from her dress....

The Queen's Wolf

Jaina froze. She chanced a look back to see a shambling figure approaching her. Mossy leather jacket, burned leather pants, crooked nose and drooping eyes. Pen! He limped towards her, pressing his crutch with determination. An erupting hiss drew her...
A Queen's Dragon Dilemma
