Annals: Year 8
A story fragment from the Dustsong Cycle—and author updates
From the Annals of the Vaporous Realms
A hunter, long of limb and fierce in countenance, ventured by moonlight into the hollow where Ghrem and Lae dwelt with their sons. Ghrem roused his family from their beds and took hold of Len, while Lae clutched wee Sceg. Thus they fled into a thicket some distance from their cottage until the stranger had departed from their midst.
Author Note
I’m bypassing the codex entry today—other goings-on take precedence over my usual posting this week.
I’m endeavoring to level up my mini-painting skills. Here is my take on Hugo Weaving as a Southron thaen (captain). Why the creepy eyes? This fellow’s ancestry is part spirit-folk!
Godspeed, y’all, and happy reading!
