	Tangor's Assistant The line for his workshop is far out the door and from morning to night he has lots of customers galore. They love his imagination and what he can do, just with a few extra pieces or two. He was always busy, and not much time to snooze. Tangor was even a bit lonely too, even though he saw customers every day, they never stay very long. by theoriginaltali

	An Astronomer Among the Stars She ran and ran and ran, eyes glued to the blaze of falling stars, until she found herself in her front yard, not that far away after all.

The Vine of Destiny: Book 1, The Apprentice Pirates: Part Five

Clouds Over Cogham: Part Four
Squire Tormund redirects his disdainful glare to the old Lupe knight who has just appeared beside him, though the fury is obviously misplaced.
