“Greetings, friends! I am Brother Hamish, and I am sharing in your journey this day!” Selene was taken aback as the massive, giant of a half-orc bellowed as he came aboard. His size reminded Selene of stories she heard of giants who stood so tall, clouds would hide their heads from sight. He towered above…… Continue reading Chapter 6: Brother Hamish

Hello, my name is Drake Brennan and I'm an avid reader and lover of all forms of storytelling. This site will be my place to both celebrate the great works of literature, particularly in the fantasy and sci-fi genres, alongside my own attempts to craft stories of my own. All constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated.
Chapter 5: A Journey Begins
Three days. Three days was all it took for Selene to understand why boats were rarely the subject of great adventure stories. They were very, very boring. The part where they left port was exciting.

Chapter 1: Thief

It was summer, but the land was largely unaffected by the changing of the…… Continue reading Chapter 1: Thief

Back inside, she quickly stuffed her face full of fruit and bread until the growling was satisfied. She crawled over to the…… Continue reading Chapter 2: Moment’s Respite

There were also some finer pieces hung up outside the tent, used as proof of his handiwork to passersby. The tailor,…… Continue reading Chapter 3: Tailor’s Tent
Chapter 4: Farewell
Racing off into the night, Rieta could not help but notice a lightness in her step. Her coin purse, now safely tucked into a hidden compartment in her new clothes, gave her tail the freedom to uncoil and flow behind her freely as she ran. She felt braver, stronger. As if she could take on…… Continue reading Chapter 4: Farewell

Preparing for the Storm
Hey guys, happy Saturday. So…this week has been rough. Family circumstances have not improved, and we are reaching a breaking point on several fronts. Sorry to sound dramatic, but it’s sadly the truth. What’s worse? I can’t do a single thing to help.
