The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Head Full of Flowers
They walked deeper into the village. The houses were closer together, some even sharing walls. How could you be so close to your neighbor and yet ignore them on the street?At one house, Dawn walked up rickety steps to a door. The neighbor’s door was only a few inches from this one. He knocked softly, and in a pattern. When no one came to the door, he tried a bit louder. The window on the neighbor’s house shifted.Dawn took a deep breath and knocked again.This time, the door flew open, answered by a woman wearing nothing more than breeches tied low at her hips. Her hair was auburn, almost red, and long, blowing in the breeze and brushing almost to her stomach. Her bright blue eyes widened in shock.“Dawn.” It was a whisper of breath, awed and confused.“Hi Flora,” Dawn said just before he was yanked forward, against the woman’s chest, and hugged tightly. His face pressed almost into her breast since he was standing one stair lower.“God, Dawn, what the hell? Where the hell have you b

Kanisa found the History Book in Dawn’s bags. She sat against a tree and read through the book while they waited for Dawn.Falcon seethed, pacing back and forth and cursing Flora to the ends of the earth. “I cannot believe you left my brother with that whore. I cannot believe--”“I cannot believe that you have the right to call someone else a whore,” Kindle Lou said.“My brother deserves better,” Falcon snapped. “He is too young. He is a virgin.”“Was a virgin,” Kindle Dee said. “Probably isn’t one now.”Falcon growled and flung a burst of air at her, knocking Kindle Dee to the ground.“Hey!” Kindle Lou said, spinning to face him. “Do not use your power in anger. You will hurt someone!”“I used restraint. I could have killed him instead!”“Do you even know what restraint means?”“Are you okay?” Conrad asked and helped Kindle Dee up.Kindle Dee nodded, but she was limping when she moved to lean against a tree.“Your brother is an adult and can do as he wishes,” Kindle Lou said. “Dare I
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants By The Gods Part II
The farther west they traveled, the more anxious Kanisa became. Even though they were surrounded by nothing but grassy plains, just on the horizon was the blurred image of hills. And on one of those hills, one of the tallest with its back against a small mountain range, sat the castle in the middle of the capital city. The city itself stretched in a heavy circle around the castle, reaching all the way to the ocean and far into the hills and surrounding lands.It was a perfect strategic location, as long as you were not coming at it from the east with the purpose of somehow getting inside to rescue a Knight of Earth.She thought about it and reworked the possibilities in her head. Dawn probably knew secret ways into the castle. Probably. But even if he did, they would be seen way before they even got close to the castle.The King and his army were on high alert, aware of their presence and mostly aware of their direction of travel. If the soldiers warned King Matthios that they were co
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants The Five Beautiful Men
The next morning, the faded visage of the mountains disappeared behind a thick layer of fog.“You are amazing,” Kindle Lou said and pressed her lips to the back of Falcon’s neck.“We are amazing,” he replied.They rode on the same horse again, for support, they claimed, but Kanisa saw the soft looks and not-so innocent touches between them as they broke camp. The two had not had sex, but there was a smile as wide as The Plains on Kindle Lou’s face that refused to go away. And as always, Falcon looked way too sure of himself.“It is a great cover,” Kanisa said. “It will hide us as we near the city.”“And once we get there?” Kindle Dee asked.Kanisa shrugged. “Improvise, I guess.”They stared at her.“What?”“Sora better have a plan,” Dawn said, “or we are so fucked.”Kanisa thought of being insulted, but Dawn was right. Sora better have a plan. You hear me, Kanisa thought. You better have a plan, Sora Gulden, and it better be amazing.Kanisa was sure there was audible scoff in her head
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Rescuing Sora Gulden
Kindle Lou smiled and said, “One moment.” She held out her hand and a tiny sliver of fog slipped into the room from under the door. The others inhaled in surprise, but no one said anything until Kindle Lou had manipulated the fog into words.Clouds are water.“That is so cool,” Key said and reached to touch it. He spun his fingers through the “w” and Kindle Lou laughed and let the fog encircle his wrist like one of the many bangles already there.“I think that will send a proper message,” Newt said. “The king will definitely hear of it, and then ... what?”Kanisa shrugged. “That is why we hope Sora has a plan.”“We will keep your secrets, if only because we trust Sora and want to help him,” Newt said. “Stay and relax. Sleep and bathe. Thud and Mintle will go to the market for more food.”“That will be wonderful,” Kanisa said and dug into her side pouch for money. “Please allow me to pay for it.”“He would not have it any other way,” Dawn said and got a slap to the back of the head fro
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Rescuing Sora Gulden Part II
Newt retrieved the things he needed and everything was quiet as Kanisa sketched out the basic layout of the courtyard where King Matthios held his executions. “I wish I could say how Sora is going to be killed, but the king changes it all the time. He could be hanged, he could be cut open, beheaded, shot with arrows. It depends on his mood.”“What a just and noble king,” Falcon muttered.Kanisa looked over at him and kept her mouth shut. Before, she would have defended her king, that those executed had been traitors. But she had been doubting King Matthios' methods for more than a year now.“I doubt we will be able to get up on the walls, which would be ideal,” Conrad said, tapping part of Kanisa’s hastily scribbled map, “but even just here, above the others.” He pointed to an inner set of stairs. “I do not want to hit someone by accident.”Kanisa nodded and then sat back, thinking of Sora and his powers.“Think out loud, Kanisa,” Kindle Lou said.Kanisa smiled. “Sorry. If Sora has al
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants What A Mess!
“You are dangerously close to losing your life, Master Kanisa.”Kanisa shrugged again. “But I do not understand why. Why are you doing this? We live in a prosperous country. And yet here you sit with a slave at your feet and people gossip mongering to gain your favors. Why?”“The elementals are a threat to our peace.”“What peace?”“You should read more novels, your highness,” Kanisa said. “The antagonist always explains his plans just before his demise.”“I am the bad guy? Are you not a traitor? Committing treason?”“There are worse things,” Kanisa replied. “Greed, for one. Arrogance.”The king smirked.“So you do not want to explain what happened to the Fire Knights Village--”The king’s eyes narrowed, but he said nothing.“--that is fine,” Kanisa said, “just tell me why.”“Why?”“Yes. Why are you doing this? We are a prosperous country. We live in fertile lands and have food to feed our poor. Why the armies? Why the taxes? The gold crown upon your head was not heavy enough with you
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants What's The Plan?
“Jaddah!” Conrad shouted.The stones between them lifted and formed a walkway to the king’s box, and Conrad ran across it. Soldiers ran toward them, and Conrad twisted around them, sword flying and knocking them to the ground. One caught his arm, and he twisted, running the man through. Everything shook again and knocked all the soldiers off their feet, allowing Conrad to reach his sister. He fell to his knees and gathered her close.“By the gods, you are all annoying!” Falcon shouted. “Kindle Lou!” He spun his hands around and a massive twister formed in the courtyard. Kindle Lou threw water at it, creating a waterspout that had more running toward the exit. None of the arrows came even close to them, and the soldiers were giving up, running out of the courtyard.The relief was short lived as Kanisa glanced over at Conrad to check on him just in time to see the battered body of the king drive a sword into his side.“Conrad!” Kanisa shouted and moved, stopping as the chains caught on
