Though he had given a window for the poor girl to evacuate, it seemed she was intent on staying, which boded well for Llewen, even if she was merely raising objections. "Let me procure something from the kitchen first, then we shall continue." Llewen then did as he said he would, going into...

In truth, Llewen was terrified of the potential undertaking that lay before him; he had few men to spare for this task, and he himself was no capable warrior. To defeat or subdue this guardian, so that they might secure the Nexus, might be beyond his reach. Yet still he knew he must try--he was...

Llewen's eyes followed the image on the mirror, his eyes shifting with some of the more interesting revelations; how this worked, and for what purpose, he yet did not know, but he was still placing his faith in this mage he had met only moments ago to reveal secrets and wonders that lay deep...

Llewen watched with a bit of superstition in his eye as the young mage reached for the small blue crystal around her neck, then began an incantation. He'd heard of magic, of course, but such things were uncommon in these lands, and this was a new experience. He was undeniably nervous, afraid...

It would be Landis who first noticed the return of Llewen's paramour, his head snapping to see the young woman re-entering the room as the sound of her shoes tapping against the floor echoed throughout the derelict castle. "Milord," he said, getting Llewen's attention. Llewen looked up...

Llewen found himself bemused when Sandra correct herself to use Llewen's appropriate honorific; it was still growing on him as a title, and wasn't one he was entirely sure he felt comfortable with. He was still a boy; it was written in his face, his actions, and the state of the estate around...

Though her actions plainly indicated that Sandra was deeply uncomfortable--as perhaps she should be, alone with a male lord unsupervised--Llewen was far too young and experienced to infer it, instead merely raising an eyebrow, only able to discern that perhaps something else was at work, or...

While being pleased with Daniel's willingness to help the community, he listened intently to Daniel's description of Sandra's abilities with more than a passing interest. He would glance at the girl every so often, especially as she started to explain some of the utility of her magic, which...

The situation became clear to Llewen as he noted the two new figures before him; a father and daughter, or perhaps his young wife? All types had come since he'd posted the fliers, and he'd unfortunately begun to see people in a different light; every man, a chance for a builder, or hard manual...

It was an impossible situation; the extortion by House Galentor lay before Llewen on a series of documents on the large table of the Great Hall of Castle Merrick, the entryway into the small wooden castle that marked the small estate of House Merrick. Next to him stood his advisor, the gristled...

Tired from having explored every inch of the broken stone fortifications, Llewen and Landis made their way to the main hall near the courtyard, resting their now-weary feet at last. The chairs were dusty, and only a few weren't broken among the few that remained, which painted an unfortunate...

Llewen awoke the following morning to a slight chill that left him confused, and a bit disoriented. What had happened the night before with Tabitha was more than he'd expected, their feelings having bubbled over to something far more passionate than he'd anticipated, but now, it was the morning...

He smiled as she accepted. "Yes, let's. There is much I would have you see." He clicked his tongue, urging the brown palfrey onward, as she slowly walked them around the side of the new fields that Derugonia was having some of his new peasants tend to. "You are bringing me and them much hope...

His heart skipped a beat as she asked him so plainly that she wanted his company; in his mind, he'd only meant to keep her company, talk to her, and pass the time. It seemed she wanted his company, though, and he reluctantly got up from the chair as his cheeks flushed. There in the dark, her...

Even in the room the torchlight gave them only a shadowy light to see each other. Llewen could make out a chair in the dark, and, minding his manners, took a seat. Her voice was relieving to hear, and he could make out her form in the shadows, sitting upright. He admitted to himself that there...
