To Live In Darkness
'There weren't always dragons in the Valley. They came with the Votahn, hundreds of years ago. They kept dragons as mounts and beasts of war; however, it wasn't long before some escaped to live in the wilds,' intoned Maeve. She stitched as she spoke, repairing an old glove, more by feel than sight. The children, clustered around the small fire in the smoky roundhouse, leaned in as Maeve continued, her voice cracked with age. 'The dragons love our cloudy, wet climate, and our rivers and swamps. And they adore eating our sheep. And our children. This is why we must never travel alone – and if we must travel, we travel in the day, when it is bright and dry.'

Kith
Kith crouched at the base of the shattered trunk of a huge tree. The soft ash under his feet shifted noiselessly. Through the watery light, he saw two thin hounds fighting over scraps of something a stone’s throw away. Kith set his pack down gently beside him. He drew himself up, taking a deep breath, slowly uncoiled and launched his spear at the closest beast.
