Keening: Part 5 – A Second Chance
He had never been able to do this correctly before, despite how many hours of practice he’d given it. But maybe, just maybe, it could work now.
Keening: Part 4 – Morrigan
Lucan bit his lip. “I suppose you’re right.” He shifted awkwardly, as if unsure of what to say. Finally, he asked, “So, this is a goddess, then? A real goddess? I… I don’t suppose…you know…you’ve ever met a god before?”
Keening: Part 3 – Drops of Blood
“A few weeks ago I discovered we live in a world of magic, and I figure there are dragons and demons, fae and spirits and who knows what else? Who’s to say the battle’s lost?”
