An innocent child
Zubyia followed the small party as they trudged through the trees. Ever so often, a supple branch from the sprouting springtime hedges slapped his long nose as the human in front, tore through a thicket. The goblin realized the action seemed unintentional since the older human always spun bac...

Deception games
Fole twisted through a tight alley between a pair of crooked hovels. Stepping into the littered lane, he then walked down the mossy cobbles towards the dead end. A trickling stream carried floating waste, wooden debris, and organic scraps mixed into it, towards the nearby sewer drains. Heaps of...

Planning ahead
While Amanda and Daisy bonded by chatting in the kitchen, Doug led Mr. Thomas into the open hall. The scratching of quills onto parchments drifted from the circles of desks. The one-armed man witnessed the progression of the once illiterate children to ones who could write barely legible letters...

A surprising visit
The young woman skipped a few steps along the worn cobbled while narrowly avoiding the open potholes. The cramped lane with its clumps of refuse and derelict surface proved a poor scene for the cheerful beauty. Brushing her wavy chestnut-colored hair behind her shoulders, she continued her a...

Meeting people from the past
The situation in the palace hall might have been awkward considering most of the guests were old men. These were the wily fellows who represented their clans or houses. Luckily, because this coronation belonged to the princess, the officials provided suitable arrangements.

Making an appearance
A series of broad steps led up from the worn cobbled roadway in the courtyard. At the top, a pair of massive wooden doors opened to allow entry into a house-sized chamber. Stone arches with carvings eroded by time steered the way into a massive sweeping hall.
The vaulted ceiling floa...

Cooking
The carriage rolled along the cobbled streets as the horses clopped towards the center of the city. It stopped for a while before a pair of massive gates as the riders escorting it dismounted. A seal, a nod, and the wave of a hand later, it traveled past the guarded walls. There, it rumbled into a doma...

A family
Mr. Thomas picked a speck of dust off his robe with the fingers of his left hand while standing. Clearing his throat softly, he then dusted the empty sleeves of his right hand. Shifting his weight, he waited until the urge to complete another similar cycle occurred. Ironically, he could find the small...

The Emperor's Daughter
Frost City.
Ever since she gained understanding, Sakura learned the name. Rounding a bend behind a small hill, she witnessed the sight in the distance from on top of the ambling carriage.
A large city in the north which lay at the foot of towering mountains. Protected by the ...

Churnings of the past
The old Master of the House groaned in contentment as the young girls worked their magic. Shifting his lower fatty cheeks on the chair, his eyes fluttered closed as they faced the stone ceiling. The crumbled robe lay on the floor slab, as the pairs of soft, warm hands caressed and massage...

Learning while stumbling
Chu noticed the smile before she disappeared. Then, from the corner of his eye, the foot came swinging in from a dangerous, airborne roundhouse kick. His counter, of sliding his forward right foot backward, felt like pushing a heavy stone slab up an incline. By the literal breath of a ...

Finally, I have published the first book of this series. Thank you all for your support through Patreon, especially when I truly traveled a bumpy road. This year was hard, but hopefully it will begin to improve.
It's ironic I make more of an income in Patreon than through selling my books. Maybe it's because I'm not a sociable person and I...

Earning coins through different means
Chu stood beside his horse while gazing out into the open grasslands. The north-south road ran to the left of him, scattered with little bogs from the winter melt and spring rains. Behind him, in the distance, black puffs of smoke and churning ...

Another Win-win
Chu sat at his desk with his head tilted to one side. Raising an eyebrow, he glanced between the faces of the three girls standing on the other side. More particularly, the two girls and the Hakkim.
"No, no way. Do you think we are going for a walk in the park? What do you think will happ...

Cornering a market
Doug glanced at the intersection at the far end of the street and sighed. His boots continued clacking along the cobblestones while knowing he was halfway on the long journey home. Each step generated a faint wince on his mouth because of the corns on his toes. His facial expression did not ...

Economics
A city supported a myriad of dwellers who named or cursed it home. The wrapped, graying walls served as a welcome protection to some, and a prison to others. The appellation, Frost City, represented an ancient bastion of glory for humans against demon beasts. It was here, the human tribes of old, acc...

It lives! Success.
The glazed black eyes suddenly blinked.
Seemingly trapped in stasis, the body lying on the earthen floor twitched. A sighing groan then escaped from between the burnished lips. Awakening from a tormented induced slumber, the man lay still while focusing on the rafters. His eyes even ma...

The cogs begin to turn
Nestled far to the east of Frost City lay a small valley encircled by a protruding ring of mountains from the Whitetop northern mountains. The pathway to enter this near impenetrable natural fortress snaked from the south along a winding narrow road.
High cliffs dropped from both s...
