A Bronze Rising: Blizzard
Cold air streamed into my face as I slid along the fast-moving air current blasting its way through the upper reaches of the valley. Two weeks after the delegation from Anorton had arrived, winter decided to drop several feet of fresh snow over the...
A Bronze Rising: Clandestine Policy
Baron Crestwell interlaced his fingers, leaning his forearms on the edge of the table as he looked up at the enormous bronze dragon before him. "Lord Dominic was very concerned, to say the least." He said, speaking of my taking control of the tiny...
A Bronze Rising: Drinking Dragon
It was quite sweet. I did not partake a lot of sweet things in my diet, so the sweetness of the wine was the biggest shock, but not an unpleasant one. The alcohol was very unlike anything I had eaten before. It seemed almost that, beyond the wetness...
The Pompous Baron
Baron Crestwell was without a doubt the fattest human I had yet seen. His face, as round as an olive with his heavy jowls was cleanly bearded with his livid red hair. His loud outfit was vertically striped and largely purple with gold stitching and...
A Bronze Rising: Mercy and Deep thoughts
The human trapped between my forelegs stank with the fear of his imminent demise - as well as other even less pleasant bodily secretions. Everything in my nature told me to end his life and then promptly devour him; I had been out hunting after all and...
A Bronze Rising: Justice
The road was barely wide enough for me as I slammed down on the mountain pass. I was incensed. It seemed like all of the months I had spent in human company had meant nothing. I was still shot at on sight by the least of them. Fury pounded in my heart...
A Bronze Rising: While he was Gone
I was not idle during the months that Tobias spent away. The estate of the late Knight was, piece, by piece, landscaped and turned into a lovely park. Cobblestone paths wound their way through trees I carefully removed from the forest and had planted...
A Bronze Rising: Ladonius
I knew it was only a matter of time before the other humans would respond to my taking of the village. If nothing else, they would be enraged by my refusal to pay their tithe. There was not a lot of trade on the forest trails leading from the village...
A Bronze Rising: The Theatre
I slammed my palm into wooden wedge again, breaking the stone with a resounding _crack!_ The large slab broke away at last, sliding down the gradient a short way to land with a heavy thud on the level dirt below the ledge face. I took a few deep...
A Bronze Rising: Out with the Old
I rested in the yard as the humans scurried about their tasks. At first most seemed to mill about aimlessly, their usual routine completely upturned. It only took the humans living on the estate a short time to get used to taking orders from Tobias...
A Bronze Rising: Long Due Reward
Sir Ronald lay in a bloody heap on the ground, his face broken beyond recognition. Richard had continued beating the once proud noble long after it was clear that he was dead. Tobias had once tried to get the lieutenant to leave, but a look had sent...
A Bronze Rising: The Knight Falls
The man, this Richard looked at the opponent who completely outclassed him with open contempt. I'd made a fool of him this day, but it couldn't have ended any other way, the men had no ranged weapons and we were in a wide open field. The advantage of...
