Watching from the door, Erwyn was awed by both her tutor and her mother's ability with the sword. Amanda and Mystic stood next to her, but seemed unphased by this. They had seen her father in both training and even attacked. "Oooh.. I want to learn how to fight just like my mother." "...

Xenograg groaned, putting his head in his hands. Erwyn, Amanda and Mystic were too distracted and excited by the return of the household to concentrate. The normally quiet halls were filled with people and activity. Of course the word of a feast and ball had reached the girls. It was impossible to g...

Unknown to Erwyn her mother, Teleperien had retreated to the tower. Erwyn bounced down the hall with Amanda and Mystic. They were in a giggly mood and needed a place to inflict their mischief without crossing paths with Constance. Erwyn looked at Amanda and Mystic and suggested: “Let’s go to the gar...

The young princess had slipped into the queen’s bedroom while Alatar the white wizard drew out the taint. She watched from a far corner, both fists to her mouth. Her mother screaming.. then was silent. Silent as death. Erwyn was terrified. When she had arrived with Philippe, Alatar gently asked her ...

Watching the attack on Gwindor shook Erwyn. She did not approve of his treatment of the pirate, but the vehemence of Philippe’s reaction frightened her. After throwing Gwindor a warning look as if to say, “Don’t.” The elf agreed to the terms. Philippe waited for her to go ahead of him and fell into ...

From beneath her hood Erwyn watched as Gwindor’s face grew angry. She knew why. Philippe had dared to insult the queen in front of those in the Inn who watched with stunned silence. The elf grabbed Philippe’s collar and lifted him easily from his seat, knocking his chair to the floor, feet dangling....

Again and again they tried to reach the queen. Alatar, Xenograg and even Erwyn tried. Exhausted Erwyn was slumped in a chair. Alatar had not spoken for sometime. Erwyn wondered what he was contemplating. Finally he broke his silence. “Where is Philippe?” The wizard asked. “I heard he was at the inn,...

In the Bloody Drake Inn, guests were filtering into the common room; sleep still in their face looking for cups of coffee or tea. One solitary figure was tucking into a breakfast with relish. The door opens, a small company of elves stride into the inn. Tall and imposing with their hauberks of white...

After her mother left, Erwyn pushed though the throng that was silent at first then all started talking at once. Pulling Mystic behind her Amanda brought up the rear. They ran to their rooms. They burst into the common room and started talking at once to Christy. “Mother.. you should see her!” Erwyn...

“I have tried to speak to your mother. I gave up quickly when I saw her initial reaction. I have not tried since.” Xeno paused; “I must. I need help. I need help. If Borin, Gwindor, Philippe, or I cannot reach her, that leaves one person.” Erwyn had hoped that Xenograg would suggest this. It had lin...

While looking around the arena for Xenograg, Erwyn noticed the various banners, pictures, tables and a cushy couch. The dueling rings were empty save one. That is where Erwyn spotted Xenograg. He was dueling man she’d never seen before. Erwyn slowly walked down the stairs pushing back the hood of he...

“I am going for a bit of a walk.” Erwyn told Amanda and Christy. “I need some fresh air.” “Do you want me to go?” Amanda asked more out of politeness. Erwyn shook her head. “No, I need to be alone to think.” “Don’ leave th’ castle grounds.” Christy warned her. She gave Erwyn a look that made Erwyn a...

Amanda and Mystic had left for their private lessons with their father. It was a break for lunch and in the afternoon she would be once more practicing archery, but not for another hour. After her lunch she pulled out her journal. She never wrote in it with others around. It contained her innermost ...

“Let’s split up.” Erwyn suggested breathlessly. “She cannot be far.” However, a surge of elven guards, headed by Gwindor himself, flanked by Borin, descended on the small village. Curious shoppers and shopkeepers pocked their heads out to get a better look. Hands were placed on the girl’s shoulders....

Once Mystic rolled to a stop and got up, she resembled a small snowman. Erwyn laughed and brushed her off then gave Mystic a hug. Erwyn could not say why but she sensed Mystic didn’t get many of those. Careful to keep their hoods over their heads the girls stole their way into the many sho...
