“Come, I'll get changed and warmed up . . . and you can tell me what’s been happening here.”

“Will you tell us about the fight?” Llywelyn interrupted as he skipped up the stairs. “Were you wounded? Did you kill many? Was Dylan scared?”

Aidan had to grin, almost in spite of himself. Llywelyn and Adenydd had always been a lot easier to be around than Dylan. He supposed that was because they had both been born after he’d joined his father’s household, and had never seen him as the intruder Dylan always had.

“We kept Dylan out of the fighting,” Aidan said in answer to Llywelyn’s question. “But his horse was killed.”

“Cadarn’s dead?” Adenydd asked in dismay.

“Yes, and four of our men.” Aidan realized he had not even known what Dylan’s horse had been called, but he thought it was better not to tell her that he’d had to kill the animal with his own hands.

“Why did they kill a horse?” Adenydd wanted to know. “He never hurt anyone!”

Aidan could not suppress a grin as he remembered just how much the destrier had hurt their attackers.

“He fought as valiantly as any of our men, Adda,” he replied. “And he killed two of them. Those hooves are deadly weapons.”




After enduring three weeks on border patrol, including a lot of bad weather, a skirmish or two and an arrogant younger half-brother, Aidan finds himself pestered with questions by his - admittedly much more tolerable - younger half-siblings.

A scene from my novel (probably finished around 2023 - pre-order now! :D) I started drawing this three years ago )sic) and always loved the sketch [link] but since loads of people told me the perspective was as messed up as could be, never took it any further. When I realized I was fond enough of it not to worry about perspective problems (I still can't see them, it looks reasonably okay to me...) I decided to finish it. :)

Pencil, parchment, Photoshop. :D

2023, you say? Nifty! Where do I pre-order? (deadly serious about this, btw) The snippets of story you put in with the pictures are great, so are the pictures! If the novel is anything like these tantalizing tastes your teasing us with (yay for alliteration!) then it's going to be terribly terrific! I love fantasy and am always looking out for a new author! So where do I pre-order? (I swear, if that was a joke, I will nag you to finish on deadline! (you can ask my sister if you doubt my word, I'm always bugging her to write more of her stories!))

P.S.

Why can't we have people with drow coloration in the 'real' world? They look so (censored) smexy! (the way you draw them, at least; I mean, who could resist a dude with black black skin and snowy white hair? ;)! ) ~Trickster
