Chap. 346.1 The Fresh Fox She was waiting in the meadow when he pulled up. Ordinarily, his team would have greeted her horses with a whinny. But they were tired. He’d driven most of the night to catch the SeaTreader, then he’d pushed them hard to reach the meadow as quickly as they could go.…

Chap. 345.1 Which way did she go? Only because they had horses did the four raiders escape the Stella Maris crew. They’d managed to break free, derisive laughter and taunts following them as they kicked their horses into a run. “Come on back, cowards!” “We ain’t even started yet, you *&**^!” “Send your sister, she…

Having brain farts sometimes hurts. I’ve edited and changed several of the posts, and now I will start reposting them, in order. THe posts will have a .1 after the chapter to indicated that one has been ‘fixed’. Sorry, if I’ve caused any inconvenience or confusion.

To my readers: I’m not very computer literate, especially when it comes to working on Word Press. So my latest series of posts, from chapters 344 to 348 or 349 are out of order. I don’t know how to fix this, so…I am going to go back into composing, delete posts and then repost them…

Chap. 344 The Watchers at the Wharf (Early morning, the same day:) “The Sea Treader is that tub on the east wharf, sir,” the boy with the wagon said. “She’s slow as can be, and you’ll know why when you get downwind of her,” he said, his eyes laughing. “Better than that, lad, I can…

Chap. 343 The Reluctant Apprentice “What happened?” Lizard asked, sitting up. His head spun. Four people swam into his view, two with fire lizards perched on their shoulders. “K’ndar,” he said, relieved to see the brown dragonrider at his feet. Two of the others he recognized, but couldn’t quite drag up the memory of where.…

Chap. 342 Triage K’ndar felt left out. The fire lizards were all grouped just above Lizard’s head, watching as B’rost directed Seven to begin cutting away the bola from the fallen trader’s body. Francie had, without comment, begun to gently probe the dog’s injuries. I have nothing to do, he thought, feeling useless. The bronze…

Chap. 341 The Fire Lizard Blizzard They emerged from between high over a tumbled, outcrop-strewn land. He did not recognize it. The sun indicated it was an hour, maybe two, behind Landing’s time zone. I hope this isn’t Southern Hold, he thought. Lord Toric had, years before, banned all dragonriders from his lands and was…

Chap. 340 The Bronze’s Appeal He had just finished oiling Raventh when a bronze fire lizard appeared from between. Siskin rose to intercept him. The bronze screeched-it was the only word befitting the sound. He arrowed for Raventh. Siskin, chattering, attempted to head off the bronze. The bronze evaded him and swooped down to land…

Chap. 339 Mosaic Mistake The boy picked himself up after falling off his dragon.The young bronze hung his head, drained. B’rant, K’ndar and Francie landed and approached the lad. Their fire lizards swirled overhead, then landed on their respective dragons. Francie reached him first. “Are you okay?” she asked. “What?” “I said, are you okay?”…
