Hi everyone. I’m a bit under the weather this week, and might not be able to get a post up. I’ll like to keep a post going up each week, even if it is a bit late, so we’ll see how I’m feeling tomorrow. For now though, I might need to be off to bed…
Fair Upon the Tor #75 (updates Mondays)
Another magician, a man in a red and black robe, and sporting a purple turban, answered her. “The rumours are too many, young princess of the muddy horses. And too much in agreement. The north is massing armies. We are certain of it.” He drew up an angry scowl upon his face. “No doubt your…
Fair Upon the Tor #74 (updates Mondays)
For a terrible stretch of a second she stood, and tried to take in the view of the people staring back at her. Someone cleared their throat. Another person coughed. Finally, someone said, a bit petulantly, “Well?” Still, Caewen couldn’t find it in herself to start. She should have planned this out. She should have…
Fair Upon the Tor #73 (updates Mondays)
The uphill trackway grew steeper, narrower and more twisting. What had been something of a wide and well-worn path soon devolved into a pinched sheep trail, complete with glistening little bunches of black droppings, like faintly unpleasant berries. Far off, the small white specks of sheep were just barely visible. The animals seemed to be…
Fair Upon the Tor #72 (updates Mondays, and hopefully will again)
It has been a mad few weeks for me. I’m only just coming back up to breathe from a long period of heavy workload. I was hoping to post sometime over the weekend, but it turned out that drips and drabs of work kept coming after me, and so we’re back to a Monday post….
Well… that was a bit crazed and frenetic
So, things are finally starting to settle down. I’ve been pulling some very long hours and keeping a lot of balls in the air for the last 2-3 weeks (amazingly, only one or two balls actually hit the ground and shattered into tiny glassy shards). But, work demands have started to calm down. At this…
Late post this week…
Just a quick post to let you know that the update is going to be late this week. Workload is still overwhelming me a bit. Although things should ease off within the next few days, I’ll definitely be late getting to the post. Will put up the next little section as soon as the more…
Fair upon the Tor #71 (updates Mondays)
Cag-Mag let them both go, sighed, and murmured, “Fox catches pike.” “Sorry? What?” said Caewen. “Figure of speech. Like, bitten off more than one can chew.” “Oh,” said Caewen. “I see. A fox would have trouble with a pike. But do you mean you, or her?” She indicated the direction of the retreating, angry young…
Fair Upon the Tor #70 (updates Mondays, mostly)
Apologies for another late post. Work has been getting on top of me, though hopefully things will be clearly up in the near future. -oOo- “How dare you!” shrieked the voice. “How dare you try to deceive me?” Up ahead a small, uncomfortable crowd was half-lingering around, half-skirting what appeared to be three magicians. The…
Fair Upon the Tor #69 (updates Mondays)
“But what?” “That would be the crux of the question,” said Samarkarantha with a smile. “Ah look, there is your horse-creature. And the hour is getting on. Although the moot must allow you to speak, if you so desire, you will not much please the Magess Quinnya if you are too late. You should perhaps…
