Lorcan, a Soduane warrior, has embarked on the Dragonquest of Heftreeke with his servant Cokelli. They find work as caravan guards for the merchant Beso Buzzo, learning about the lands they travel through and gaining the information they need in order to complete the quest.
At night, Lorcan and his fellow travelers swap stories of magic, monsters, and legends from their homelands after dinner. Tales of Jinn that grant wishes, dragons that breathe fire, clever heroes, and terrible villains amuse, inspire, and entertain them.
Get yourself a drink, pull up a chair, and warm yourself by the fire as Lorcan, Cokelli, Beso, and the others tell of the adventures of men and beasts from all over their world.
This is a companion piece to my novel Lorcan: Dragonquest, which I will publish at a later date.

Despite the safety Nakiirn provides, the dangers that abound eventually sneak their way past the draconic protector and straight for the vulnerable human a long way from home.Complete

Were your eyes giving up or wha-" I drew attention to myself while being mad and the person slowly stood up from me only to hover over me. His hood had slipped down and we looked straight into each others eyes. I didn't even finish my sentence and suddenly turned speechless. While we were looking at eachothers eyes, his eyes shone gold for a split second before it faded again. My anger was completely extinguished and I completely forgot about the pain. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry. That's not what I intended to...what was the word in Dazhaunian again? Ehh Fuck..." he said in his broken Dazhaunian while also mumbling in Ploverian. "A Light Elf..."
