Rich land owner, Grimwald, once leisurely spending his time hunting and practicing with a sword, with nary a worry in the world, all of a sudden became riches to rags after a painful familial betrayal.
With no one there to protect him from a cruel technicality, and only able to take what he can carry from his land; he sets out with little more than clothes on his back, provisions and bitterness. His life turned into a monotony of dealing with low-lives, greedy merchants and shady characters.
Like in a mad unending loop, he resentfully struggles to find a way to make enough coin for day-by-day life.
After taking out his pent-up anger on a... more>> couple belligerent drunks, a mysterious man sat next to him.
"Wouldn't you rather do something that matters? With a band of loyal brothers?" He asked.
"Oh yeah? Like what? You've got something better to do?" With a gulp from his tankard, Grimwald dismissed the man.
"Things you can't ever tell anyone." The man, unbothered by his attitude, continued.
A brief exchange occurred, after all. Grimwald questioned, and the man answered.
"The Empire's good people can sleep, because our enemies are afraid to."
"Afraid of what?" Grimwald asked, his interest now captured.

"Do you want to find out?" <<less

"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this."... more>>

This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place.

He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people.

But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me.

Røshjert.

The year is 1393, in The Year of the Three Sisters. In the heart of the Sea of Tyrants, the three northern island nations of Eriu, Dannebrog, and Angevin are settled in a rare time of uneasy peace. But adventure never stops. Especially not for one party of two:
Jacq the Barbarian of Rüzgâr, a bawdy brawler and a feisty fighter.
... more>> Seetha the Sword Dancer of Isyr, a sagacious swashbuckler and a refined rogue.
On the Isle of Angevin, their quest to stop an underground crime ring suddenly takes them on a dive for long lost treasure.

* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales *... more>>

Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems.

What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way.

Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book:

“Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…”

Disclaimers:
- Short story. Story ends after a climax event. Character focused. Lore-light.
- For this short story, immersion is driven by the characters. The setting and world are only fleshed out to the extent needed by the characters. That said, I will fix any inconsistencies as I become aware of them, and the same goes for grammar and typos.
- The narration is technically in third person, or close third, but the script is mostly the characters self narrating or dialogue with some inner thoughts written in italics.
- Content warnings: This story has some R18 content (<5k words), lots of Strong Language, and a very small amount of Gore. <<less
