Author's Note I'm posting this prologue as a guide for readers new to primarily my older work.

A special thank you to Pope1944 for reading and editing, as well as encouraging this prologue. I wi...
Happy New Years! I finished this chapter a little while ago and decided to put it up. Yet again I have no editor but I am talking to a friend currently, who has offered to do it.

He doubted the Rose herself would care but she had implied she'd be bringing somebody else which might change matters. But what would be the correct w...
Now I know what your thinking. What is the point I am trying to make by telling you this story. Well in truth it is all about me, soon to be turning fifty and all these things to brag about. Just one hitch to this, no one to brag to, so you get to hear the whole sorted tail first hand. Just keep reading, the answers will come to you eventually. So there I w...
Chapter 4: Stand Off Grohl saw the small hamlet of Belshire come above the horizon. He had grown tired of the sound of wooden wheels grinding against the road, the clip clopping of horses hooves, and metallic clanking of weapons and armor. There was one part of this journey in which he was taking some pleasure, and that was it reminded him of being on cam...
