Nighttime blabbering 756

The day of seers, and why is this date so important.

Georgians (story and critique)

Georgians By Shawn Servant dismounted before a guard who extended his spear and stopped him. He saw the urgency in the servant’s eyes and let him in. Dead of night, the servant passed the bogged ground and climbed the stairs. A squeal of hinges announced him before three knights at the table. Warriors listened to …

Viking Charge (reloaded)

Shipwrecked against the pearly shore of the foreign island. Trees were dancing, full of wind that shook their voluminous crowns, absent life, right there on the stone ridge where our flags flapper proudly.

King’s Tears

Every eighth day of the week, grandpa and I had to visit a horrible place. He was very old and half blind from the heavy crown with a face mask that covered his eyes, so I had to guide him. I didn't want to go there, but I had to. Giants in heavy black armor …

Legends of Sokobanja – An Alien Mountain Rtanj

Near Sokobanja is a mountain with very interesting features. I'm talking about Rtanj mountain (pronounced [r̩̂ːtaɲ]).
