Sirinita’s Dragon
summary/excerpt
“You’re going to kill him?” Sirinita said, staring at her mother in disbelief.

Sensella of Seagate looked at her daughter with surprised annoyance.

“Well, of course we’re going to kill it,” she said. “What else could we do? In a few weeks it’ll be eating us out of house and home—and in a year or two it might very well eat us. Just look how big it’s getting!”

A somewhat somber tale of a girl and her dragon. First published in The Ultimate Dragon anthology and featured in Son and Foe issue #2.

Chapter Twenty-Eight
summary/excerpt

“I had thought better of Tobas,” Esmera said, as she stretched in the morning sun. “Abandoning me here without even a farewell.” She was standing naked by the window of Gresh’s bedroom. “He already has his Karanissa,” Gresh said, as he watched her admiringly from his bed. “I think he was afraid that if he [...]

Chapter Twenty-Seven
summary/excerpt

Tobas was already on his feet, saying, “Welcome, Guildmaster,” when Esmera, Gresh, and Twilfa emerged into the room bearing food and beer. Gresh set the [...]

Chapter Twenty-Six
summary/excerpt

Gresh arrived at the tower door while the sky was still gray. The dawn was not yet broken. He knocked gently; no one answered. Presumably they were all still asleep.

Chapter twenty-four of the novel The Spriggan Mirror by Lawrence Watt-Evans, published in Son and Foe issue #2.

Chapter Twenty-Four
summary/excerpt
Gresh decided to spend a day or two in Dwomor before heading back to Ethshar of the Rocks to collect his fee; after all, once he was paid he would have all the time in the World. Besides, he had spent more than enough hours crowded onto the flying carpet, and a brief stay would allow him and Tobas to tidy up loose ends, such as making certain no more spriggans were emerging.

Chapter twenty-four of the novel The Spriggan Mirror by Lawrence Watt-Evans, published in Son and Foe issue #2.
