Short Tales of the Third Kingdom
Volume I
The Tales
Stories as diverse as the people, creatures, and places of
the 3rd Kingdom itself. A common woodland Fairy’s journey of discovery, an
ancient rite of passage forgotten to all but a few. A treacherous journey to
the remote sea canyon to witness the dance of the mermaids, to join in the
festivities of life itself.
An epistolary tale of Flueric, the first and some say most powerful wizard of any age. How did wizards come to be? Who was Flueric before his powers? What led him to a life of solitude, despair, and some say evil? His life was not a simple one, nor was it pleasant, even before the magic.
What story does a simple dumpling girl have to share? She makes her meager living selling dumplings from her tiny apartment. Now she finds herself entangled in a magical conspiracy of deceit and thievery. Does she remain hidden in the shadows, or does she step out to save a friend and right a wrong? Her decision could cost her everything, including her life.
And what of the Dracom, a story known to very few, and with good cause. On rare occasions, a dragon of noble birth, is reincarnated in human form as a Dragoness. It is said a Dragoness once fell in love with a human and gave birth to his children. These children, neither dragon nor human, came to be known as the Dracom. Now, a young boy finds he is a Dracom and must use his new powers to protect himself, his mother, and countless others. Can he master his skills in time?
A tale of a young girl, her family brutally murdered, who now seeks revenge. She has money, the desire to see those responsible for the torture, rape and murder of her family punished, but she lacks the skills to exact her revenge. She turns to a Ranger, a semi-legal group authorized to hunt men for money, bounty hunters. She has one condition: she does not want to hear the men are dead, she wants to see them die.
These tales will reveal far more of the Kingdom and her people. Within these tales, you will discover the Wagon Folk of the Green Mountains, just how the age of the great wizards came to be, and the little-known life of a common woodland fairy. You will see both the compassion of the people, and the evil.
