A Unicorn Encounter
The group was on their second day of traveling since leaving the fairies' home. The atmosphere had been convivial, with Aurora and Devrim often taking up the rear to clandestinely (or so they thought) hold hands. It had initially injured Nurlan's sensibilities to find that the Empress and Devrim were not married, but seeing them in the innocence of new love quickly melted his heart.
Just now Junayd was playing a jaunty tune on a long thin instrument with many finger holes. In between his his tinkerings, he would invent words to accompany his composition.
"I traveled from my home down south
To find a lassie true
But she did not think me worthwhile
And left for someone new
But do not fret for me, my friend
My future's not so grim
For she was trouble from the start<

Empress of the World Meeting the Gnome King
The ground below Aurora gave way before she could react. The earth kept shifting, constantly bringing her downwards and at an angle like the most horrific slide ever created. Were it not for the pocket of air that was being maintained around her body, she would have suffocated from the dirt. As it was, she was slipping into a panic, wishing more than anything to come to a stop. Actually, she wished for anything to happen. Anything but this eternal falling.Finally her descent slowed, and she was able to grab at the dirt and bring herself to a stop as the hole opened up into a wide cavern. Two gnomes, the ones who had been waiting for her to get more than an arm's-length away from her group before abducting her, stood waiting for her at the exit of the tunnel. Regaining her senses, Aurora brushed herself off and called angrily at the little gnomes, "This is how you treat the Empress? You should be ashamed of yourselves!" She hoped that an overt display of dominance might fores
Empress of the World In Prison Again
"Aurora!" Devrim yelled as the Empress slipped effortlessly into the earth. He dove at the spot where she had been, but the gnomes had blocked anyone from following. "Help her!" he yelled at Brinn.Although his tone was gruff, the elf chose not to take offense. "I have no ground magic. There is no way to follow them.""Have they buried her alive?" Devrim began to dig at the dirt."Her smell is gone. I think they only abducted her." Brinn tried to be comforting.Devrim dug for a few moments longer before giving up in despair. "What do you mean: 'only abducted her'?""They did not kill her. You said in the past they have simply tried to murder her." Brinn pointed out."That is true," Nurlan agreed as he helped the boy to stand. He too felt anger and frustration, but Brinn's calm demeanor helped him think more clearly.The elf continued, "If the gnomes have decided to keep Aurora alive, then they want something. That means we have time t
Empress of the World A Narrow Escape Plan
Aurora groped around until she could find the source of the fresh air. A small hole inside the base of the crevice allowed the tantalizing breeze. The Empress got out of the crevice and lay on her side to get a better look. Unlike whatever the gnomes used to light their dwellings, this hole had no such brightness. The pitch black meant that she could not see how far back the hole went, but the fresh air on her face was unmistakable.She pushed her fingers into the hole and pulled at the rocks to widen it. Sediment from the wall broke off into her hands, and she shoveled it out into the cavern. The hole was now bigger than it had been but not nearly large enough. She pulled out her knife from her cloak and dug furiously until the hole was almost wide enough for her body.For once she was glad to be on the smaller side. Her mother had been called statuesque, and Aurora inherited her lean build but not her height. The near ninety degree angle between the wall of the crevi
Empress of the World An Unexpected Reunion
"The biggest issue is we have no idea where the Empress went once she escaped," Devrim said. The group knelt around their plans that were written in the dirt."I could send a message ball to the fairies for them to keep an eye out for her." Brinn offered."Great idea!" Devrim forgot she could do such a thing. More eyes would be very helpful."The ball can only go to a designated location that I tell it, so we will not be able to hear back from them." Brinn warned them of the balls limitations."That is less desirable, but I still think we should ask for their help." Devrim nodded thoughtfully."I know about the boy, but have either of you fought gnomes before?" the elf asked the soldiers."Cannot say that I have, ma'am," Nurlan shook his head. Junayd made a negative gesture also."Well when fighting a gnome, you need to know a few things…" Brinn began."Could I please have a drink of water?"Devrim passed a water-
Empress of the World Danger
After a short night's sleep for everyone except Junayd, who unfortunately for the others had the final watch, they set off hoping to reach their destination that day. "I slept better than I thought I would up in those branches." The young soldier said as he stretched his arms to relieve the tension in his muscles."That makes one of us. Your fear of heights translated into the loudest snoring I have ever heard," Nurlan spat bitterly. He was particularly cranky."Really?" Junayd was surprised. "I did not hear it."The others rolled their eyes upward. "We seem to be making good time," Devrim changed the subject. "We did not even need your wind magic to speed us along.""It is just as well, using magic is exhausting." Brinn told him. She strode along effortlessly such that Devrim wondered if she were not using just a little magic for herself.The grey-eyed man kicked at the ground. "Still, I liked the feeling of flying—" Just like that, Devrim l
Empress of the World Dew Mountain
The Mystic Spires looked like distant pillars from the base of Dew Mountain. The white mountain appeared completely clothed in fog and looked like a swirling cloud. As they approached, doubt crept into Aurora's mind. The Fate's fortress was so high above their heads. It seemed impossible to reach. But she could not give up now."I suppose we should enter the fog so that we can find the actual mountain," the Empress said."I will go in first. Junayd you be sweeper," Nurlan ordered. "That is, if it pleases Your Majesty," he added, slightly embarrassed."I always appreciate your expertise," Aurora nodded approvingly.Brinn and Devrim looked at each other in wordless understanding. They would watch the Empress. None of them had come this far to lose her now. Nurlan stepped forward bravely and shoved his arm into the fog. It was thick like a wall, and his hand vanished from view. Nurlan grunted in surprise, but when nothing happened, he walked into the white b
Empress of the World The Mystic Spires
The entire platform lurched as the castle-shaped portion of the dais pulled free from its perch and rose quickly in the air. No one had been prepared for what would happen, and they all dropped to the deck to avoid falling off. As they became accustomed to the motion, they slowly stood. Even though they were moving quickly, the ride took several minutes."What if the Fates are not friendly?" Junayd asked refusing to look down. Devrim had been thinking the same since his experience with the griffin. What if the Fates only allowed them to stay near the base of Dew Mountain because visitors were not welcome?"Hands at the ready," the grey-eyed man responded as he held the pommel of his sword. The others followed suit, and even Aurora reached in her cloak for her bow. Above them a hole opened to admit them into a base of one of the spires. As they passed through a stray section of the cold mist to enter the portal, their vision was momentarily absent.Their muscles
Empress of the World The Gnome and the Guardian
After acquiring horses in Valiant, Zan and Gandr rode at a breakneck speed across the countryside. Zan had not ridden on a horse for many years, and the constant rise and fall beneath him chaffed his legs and fatigued his muscles. But he was not going to give up. Gandr for his part made no complaint, and the large gelding he rode powered onward.Unlike the Empress's party, Gandr knew exactly where to go. They made good time and avoided the traps and delays that the Empress's party encountered. They cut their journey by more than half and found themselves quickly nearing the ice barrier. Gandr, having inherited the gnome's aversion to water, opted for them to ride around the lake.The gnome found it interesting that nothing seemed to surprise Zan. The strange sights, animals and even the ice barrier gave the Guardian no pause. He eyed the entire situation with equanimity. The only thing that made Zan anxious was when they talked of the Empress's safety. When they had st
