God, you've all been great about my long leave of absence from this story. I'm so, so sorry it took me this long to finish, but a lot of changes have been happening, I got married, and finished up my move, and now my husband and I are trying to find a dog to compliment our hectic life. I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations... it sure took a LONG...
Welcome back! There's a place in this chapter that feels like there should have been a fist bump... For those of you reading The Runesmith Chronicles for the first time I recommend going back and starting at Chapter One. Mostly so you have a better understanding of how things like the magic system works and what's going on as I often reference earlier chap...
Copyright (c) 2015 Naoko Smith Thank you for feedback and votes. Arianna stood quite still in the doorway of the library. Clair was sitting at her desk where her papers on her mathematical theorem were all spread so carefully, pinned into place. Beside him stood a tall fair Sietter man, lean and handsome – the Hanya Vashin type, but so young. The young...
Copyright © 2015 Naoko Smith This is a re-edited version of Chapter 2. I cut half of Chapter 1 and turned it into a new Chapter 3, so I've been obliged to put it in at the end of this chapter. (Chapter 3 is now Chapter 4, etc etc.) Please leave comments for me. Thank you! (Diolch.) "Thy time for my allegiance!" shouted a husky warm voice outside the ten...
The scene, a small island among the stunningly beautiful Isles of Scilly in the Atlantic Ocean off the southwest tip of the Uk, its two thirty on a warm sunny afternoon with just enough breeze to send the waves crashing against the shore and Sandra, Ponygirl 314 stands patiently admiring the view as she awaits the arrival of the afternoon boat from the mainl...
I sometimes think that the most unexpected thing in life is the unexpected. I mean, when your life has gone along uneventfully for many years you don’t expect to suddenly find yourself faced with a whole new situation. For those interested, my name is Arianrhod, the name choice of Welsh parents who probably had no idea what my fellow students at school woul...
Lily and Steve and I tripped along pretty happily for a time. We had some adventures, we had some difficulties. I'd be lying if I said it was easy. But it was worth it. We just loved being together, all three of us. And it has to be said, it helped that we never, ever had any issues in the bedroom -- or anywhere else we had sex. One of the great things about...
Welcome back! We learn how Kal ended up in the situation from the first chapter. For those of you reading The Runesmith Chronicles for the first time I recommend going back and starting with Book 1 (just search for The Runesmith Chronicles or click on my name). It isn't necessary, but it will give you have a better understanding of how things like the magi...
Chapter 24 -- Ragnar the Reborn ***** I have no idea where the prison was where they kept me. I remained alone in my cell. It was rather dark, unsure when it was daylight or not. I was given three meals a day, though to call them meals wasn't exactly correct, being either bread and water, or some sort of gruel and water. Otherwise, I could only pass the ti...
PREVIOUSLY, IN CHAPTER ONE: Monique, a Personal Trainer and YouTube personality, walked in on her fiancé of three years in bed with another woman. She took Trey's betrayal hard and went on an unplanned 8-month hiatus from men. Her best friend, Antonia, felt that enough was enough. She pulled a not-completely-healed Monique out of the house and into a nig...
