In the gloom of Megarna’s thatched hut, the young Witch; Kasandra deeply inhales the herb infused smoke and stares intensely at the blood-soaked knuckle bones in the wooden bowl.
“Our enemies fate will depend upon whether they follow the light of a dark star.”
Megarna scowls.
“Yes, yes. I know all about the Halfling’s importance. He is the only one who truly understands how we plan to upset the balance of this world and the others trust him to lead them in the right direction. What else?”
Kasandra breathes in the thick, aromatic smoke once more.
“I see that the Dark-star has changed. He has turned from the crimson of the Orcs to the celadon of the Druids.”
Megarna’s brow furrows.
“Changed direction? To their benefit or ours?”
The young auger cowers under the penetrating glare of the High Crone of her recently joined Coven.
“To theirs my Mistress. To theirs.”
ooooh, dark portents and shadowy forces. Will our hero's survive, will they ever decide how to cross a dang river... :)
ReplyDeleteIs my use of the colour ‘celadon’ too arty niche?
DeleteI had never heard of it. A type of jade pottery - from whence the colour name.
DeleteSo, yeah - a bit arty, and intellectual, but we love it
I thought it was just the green glaze. Who says all my on-and-off years in art school were wasted?! 😜
DeleteWell - it is sort of both (according to the wiki article), but it pretty much means the glaze now. So, once again, my learned fellow, you are indeed correct.
Deleteif I new what you were talking about I could answer. I do like the way you change font when "speaking"
