I
Near the battlefield, on top a high single tower, a man stood and waited for news, good or bad, it depended, but he preferred the bad ones. The wizard turned on the balcony, looked towards the mountains. He entered the brightly lit room, searched for possible source of the strange anomaly. He searched and searched, until he found.
"The battlefield," he rattled, "Albin is still alive, it doesn't matter! My plan will succeed, no matter the cost!"
His hands moved in a strange pattern, made a complex sign. Magic eliminated from of his fingers, a power so powerful that it shook the foundation of his tower.
The tower shook periodically, at even interlopes.
The head minister moved forward, from the shadow.
"What news do you have?" his voice was sarcastic.
"Not good, I'm afraid."
"And they are?"
"Albin still lives."
"Great, you remember what happens t

IA few days passed since the events in the Midwinter Town, the road to Agbata was finally opened.Albinrode his favorite horse, a chestnut. Even that didn't change his mood. He never liked this city; the people were too hospitable. It was unusually for him to be treated that way. In other parts, people feared sorcerers. Here, they were a normal thing.The massive entrance greeted him. The stone walls stood there as far as he could remember. A guardsman was there, wrapped in a fur cloak, snow was falling on his head and neck. He lifted up his head. In his long mustache traces of ice could be seen. The second patrol post was empty, the sorcerer concluded, the second guardsman must be on a break. The guardsman nodded.A young woman passed by, caring a child, the guardsman looked at her backside and firm breasts. He did not notice that the sorcerer was still there, waiting."Look at the cleavage on that,"he said to himself

After Albinsuccessfullyfinished his mission in Chigrin, a rider was sent to deliver the information.The rider rode through the dark night, his horse, a black stallion, was uneasy. There was something foul following them through the dense but dark wood, something sinister. The rider turned, he saw nothing, only a small layer of mist that rose from the moist bushes. There was nothing, but why did he have this strange feeling? There is something wrong with this forest. He wished that he took the right turn when he had the chance a few miles ago; there was no going back now. But he was on a deadline, he need to deliver the message to the queen, as fast as possible. Much depended on that. Only he knew the content, since it was written in an old tong long forgotten by men or elves. And there he was, a brave messenger, scared like a lonely child that fears to go through the dark hallway at night. The feelings were mutual. There was nothing else that he could do but to c

ITwo shadowy figures were walking down a lonely forest path. One of them was heavily armored the other one was lightly armored. The road was empty; they haven't seen anybody on the road; they were walking for hours. Nearly all the roads were deserted on this strange fork. The fork was a typical three part fork. They stopped, looked at each of the roads. They were the same. The figures waited. It was a hard choice; they didn't have the time for a long debate."What now?"the light said. "Where, Hjolt?""Where ever,"the heavy said. "All roads lead the same.""You aren't helping,"the light moved his left leg."You asked,"the heavy replied with a smirk."I did.""And I replied.""You did.""Why must you be a pain in the ass?""I thought you are used to it.""I am.""What's the problem, then?""Nothing…"By their calculation it was two mo

IWhat does a man know about the gods and their actions? Nothing, to be precise, nothing at all. But he still hopes that they will change their mind. Most pray to the Old Gods of the mountains and rivers, while some pray to the New Gods that came across the sea with the Ivarns. They pillaged, looted and raped their way into the history books, as one of the greater threats that the Westerlands faced. They were a small tribe, at first, living on the northern shores of Sevardokin, the largest island in the Lovin archipelago.The wind blew across the grass field. Hjolt looked up to a moon. The visage of the moon changed, the craters became a laughing skull. He thought that he's imaging things. He looked again, on the surface of the moon a laughing skull clearly stood. There was no use debating. The skull became larger and darker. He looked around, there was nothing, the field was gone. There, in front of him, stood a dune. A real dune, he wasn't seeing thi

Thunderbolts lighted the cloudless sky, made strange patterns, which the astonished viewers watched without breath. Never have they seen such splendor and might. The thunderbolts were a strange and mystical sight in these dry, desert parts of the Continent. It was unheard of, let alone witnessed on a cloudless night like this. It was a strange omen of things to come. The viewers watched as the thunderbolts glided across the sky, meeting in the middle and, once more, going their separate serpentine ways. The children were terror-stricken but had enough courage to continue watching. In the meantime, in a distant and hidden place, a child was born. Its fate was already decided. Tonight, the witches will come for it. A woman stood nearby; there must be something that she could do, anything even the smallest thing would change to course."Ashal rar' an el da raet,"the words stop in her throat. T

The guard turned to left, continued down the palisade. Herbog looked up at the sigil of House Aswar, a proud lion danced on the light breeze. He wondered was it a good omen or a bad one, he wasn't very religious, most problems he resolved with the sword, if you could call that large piece of steel a sword. The soldier waited for him to get up, Herbog turned towards the show-covered field; it will be a harsh winter, it always was and will be, ever since the new king came."I don't like it,"the guard said while covering his face with mask that hung lowered to his chest."Neither do I,"Herbog replied.The man turned, "always the same blasted weather.""It could be worse.""True, but still it's blasted.""I know."

In darkness of his workroom, the emperor sat, thinking what to do next. He had a lot of options to think about. All of them look like the right decision, but on careful analyzes, every decision was wrong. He was at a standstill. Hours passed, he was still at the beginning. To him, they looked like minutes. Minutes, he spent in reviewing. There was always something that he missed.His grandfather was a great strategist and his father before him. Everyone in his family was a great strategist, but no one has a problem that he clashes with. The maps were scattered on a large, massive oak table, maps of all sizes and meanings.

Important news await, which he alone must hear. Their armors were the same; hard to spot the difference between them, the heraldry, which hung on their right shoulder, was the same; a yellow turtle on a green field, the sigil of House Transin. The bull horn-helmed knight stopped for a moment, looked at the worn-down signpost. His dark green eyes looked at the names on the board. He mounted his steed, turned to the other direction and galloped, the others followed in toe. "Kerd is that way,"said the first knight. "True,"replied the bull horn-helmed knight. "Why are we going in the opposite direction?" "Would you go to Kerd?" "No." "Neither would I." "That's the point." "You think that Albin
