#FridayFlash – The Aether Shroud

August 29, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick 7 Comments

This is part eleven of my Astral Mage serial, following The Tide Turns! Artemuse couldn’t leave her body without raising Draumir’s suspicions, nor could she ride away so he wouldn’t notice when she entered the astral plane. She needed a distraction. A thundering crash filled the air, and Draumir’s face blanched as he watched the Statue […]

#FridayFlash – The Tide Turns

August 22, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick 15 Comments

This is part ten of my Astral Mage serial, following on from Battle! The Vaal’kyr needed no further encouragement. They dropped from the sky, plummeting towards Draumir’s troops.

#FridayFlash – The Roost

July 18, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick 18 Comments

This follows on from last week’s flash, The Sleeping Army. Artemuse followed the passage, and it didn’t take her long to realise that it coiled upward in a tight spiral. She had no idea where the vaal’kyr roost would be, but it didn’t surprise her that winged creatures might prefer to live above the city, […]
