Making art for me is equivalent to breathing. If I am not creating, am I even alive? Portraits, landscapes, writing, really anything I feel like doing. If you like, follow my journey, don’t forget to say hello!

Chapter 35 – Nighthaven *Author's Note* Hey lovely readers! I have an announcement. I will be continuing this story but I will be taking a brief pause in my upload schedule. I am going to be entering a writing contest and will need to pour my efforts into that over the next few weeks. On the website Royal Road, they have a community magazine contest with an outstanding writing prompt: Children of the Sky.

Chapter 34 – Olde Tim Tum Tavern Marwynn left early the next morning from Crossroad Inn. He chose to stay off the main byways and ride along the shores. There were many unmapped fishing villages that could possibly be a haven for Muriel and Declan. He had no luck the first few that he visited as they were not large enough to be visited by any of the major ports including Little Oak.

Chapter 33 – Reunited Fin smiled wide as he recognized Declan. “Declan! Where did you come from?” “Long story,” he said and continued, “Did Muriel tell you what happened?” Fin looked puzzled, “Muriel?” Declan’s smile faded, “did she and Davey not make it to Hollowcoast?” Fin shook his head slowly, “No, were she and Marwynn not with you?” “I was with Muriel, we had to flee from Whitehaven, we hired Davey to bring us here.” He answered.

Chapter 31 – Shores of Hollowcoast A large wave propelled Declan and he landed face first on the sand. He propped up his leg and was about to stand up and another wave tumbled him down. He cried out in frustration and crawled to where the waves could not reach him. He leaned back on the sand and closed his eyes. Almost a full minute passed and Declan just breathed in and out.

I am making my book available for free chapter by chapter, please check it out if medieval fantasy is your thing!

Chapter 30 – Truth Marwynn paced the inside of his room in the North Tower of Whitehaven. He was impatiently waiting for news of Declan or Muriel. Lady Revna had been cautious around him since the night of the Hunter’s moon. She did not rely on him the way that she had before and Marwynn knew that she was suspicious of him. She had every right to be.

Chapter 28 – Little Oak *Author's Note* What do y'all think of Lady Revna? Leave a reply in my comments and thank you for being here! Declan and Muriel had been running for what felt like hours. The hunter’s moon in the night sky cast an eerie glow across the ground. Declan felt as though he were being hunted. He could hear Muriel beside him and stole a glance.

Chapter 26 – Brothers Declan walked down the deserted castle halls. He remembered glimpses of his childhood through each room that he past. His brother lived in the northern part of the castle, Declan had only been there on one other occasion but fully expected there to be guards keeping his brother within his chamber. Lucky for him, the time he came before was with his mother and she brought him through a secret passage.

Chapter 24 – Whitehaven Marwynn saw Muriel run towards him, she flung her arms around him. Oaklynn smirked at Marwynn “I see that you have moved on?” Marwynn flushed. “Oaklynn, this is Muriel” he introduced them. Muriel released him and shook Oaklynn's hand. Declan walked up “We need to talk.” “Indeed” Marwynn said and they walked to the tavern leaving Oaklynn and Muriel. They sat down at a table by the window and ordered some food.

Chapter 23 – Departure and Arrival Declan was reliving the events of the day in his room. He could not believe that people were willing to stand behind him. The memory of Duster singing his praises brought a smile to his face. He was thinking about how to be the person that would be worthy to stand behind when he heard a small knock at the door.

Chapter 20 – Loyalty Marwynn and Oaklynn had been walking south for several hours and had barely exchanged words. They were taking a break by a little stream that emptied into Silent River. Marwynn had decided to stop in Silken Pass for the night. Oaklynn did not seem to care where they were heading as long as she was walking beside Marwynn. Her gaze continued to follow his movements but Marwynn decided that for her, this was probably a normal thing.

Chapter 19 – Support Declan had enlisted the help of the others to gather everyone at midday to ask them for their support. It was almost time and he was nervous. He had never spoken before an audience before. Finn had offered to stand beside him and he accepted. “How do you feel?” Finn asked Declan. “Like I might be sick,” he answered. Fin looked at Declan’s face, “You seem to be turning a nasty shade of green.”

Chapter 18 – Memories Marwynn, Duster and Oaklyn had stopped for the evening and had only a few hours left to walk. Oaklyn had stuck close to them and Marwynn could not understand why. She was clearly suspicious of him and constantly kept her eyes on him. She often muttered under her breath in sprite speak and occasionally it would illicit a giggle from Duster.

Chapter 17 – Uncomfortable Morganse heard an excited knock at the door. She had already put on her nightgown so she pulled a jacket that Mops had made for her over her gown and opened the door. Declan stood there slightly out of breath and holding the doorpost to steady himself. As the door opened and he saw Morganse standing there in her night clothes he blushed and averted his eyes “My apologies for the late hour, I just had some news that I was intent on sharing.

Chapter 16 – Oaklynn Marwynn had given every last bread roll in his pack to Duster who devoured each one in turn. At this pace, they would be out of food before midday Marwynn thought. They had just reached a good spot for lunch and he swung his bag onto the ground. Duster plopped down beside him and began humming. Marwynn opened his bag and reached in to find his fishing line.

Chapter 15 – Training Muriel stood out on the balcony of their room at the tavern overlooking Roseglen. She thought that Marwynn must have arrived at North Moon by this point as it had been almost a five days journey. The past few days had been filled with helping the tree folk with their harvest. To say that it was not easy was an understatement.
