Tutelar Idris Menhyr is a brutal and enigmatic man, waging a campaign to eliminate the other warlords of Tirgodh.  Tradition demands he stoke the fires of war, but he is driven by deeper motivations.

Ahn, trained as a chronicler from birth in Ashiir, and assigned by divine decree, has the delightful task of recording every last word the man mutters, every step he takes.

The Council of Kings sits apart from the blood shed in their name,  ever vigilant of their kingdoms as they teeter between stability and stagnation. When a piece becomes too successful, too aggressive,  sacred rites are invoked to manipulate the arena back into order.

When Idris receives demands from the Council of Kings, he foists the task upon his chronicler and puts the tedious matter to the back of his mind. Ahn forges ahead, lost in a duty she has little knowledge of, and Tutelar Menhyr discovers that even a burr, if left to fester, can prove toxic.All Rights Reserved

Long Walk Home by MiddleEarthPixie

After being seriously wounded by the Uruk-hai and unwilling to slow the Fellowship down, Boromir has convinced the others to let him try to make his way back home to Minas Tirith to recuperate. But then he passes out from the severity of his wounds, only to roused by his boat running aground in unfamiliar territory. And when the Uruk-Hai come back to finish him off, they might very well have succeeded, were it not for the young boy who comes to his aid. Imagine his surprise when he learns his savior is a woman... Eleri has lived a solitary existence ever since a pack of orcs roared through her village several years earlier and destroyed almost everything in their path. She prefers solitude, for it's safer. If she remains alone, she can't ever suffer losing another soul. But, when she happens upon orcs attacking an already-severely wounded man, she can't in good conscience, turn away without helping. She had no way of knowing how a simple act of kindness could change her entire life....

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 by Larryn_Wave

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤: He wants to live in a story, Really? He should have asked himself before leaving, lying. So, the wind asked, "Really, a story?" He nodded to himself, "yeah, life's just so..." "Unfair, cruel, painful, unforgivable." It whispered. He sat thinking, "always." As he runs away from his problems, his 'unforgivable' life. He finds a library, finally. Solace. Books, the one thing he cold understand without second guesses, without having to worry about lies, hurt, betrayal. He takes out a book, pure white. He opens it, it's all blank not a dot of ink in sight. He flips to the back. An encryption, he traces. Dot-to-dot. Then it flies. The centre of the old library. As he walks towards it, he sees a portal fade into existence. He walks through, There. There it was. A fantasy, a real-life story. A world Koris hopes is true every minute he lives in it, pleading each day it won't disappear or be taken away from him. He takes on a duty, he lies, he uses magic to make right wrong, justifying his actions. Words change people. The Isles, they say, are to be forever peaceful, forever united in words, but what if the words backstab, instead of describing a beautiful scene, you rewrite it to inflict pain, woe, sadness, anger. The Isle, they say, Will never change, maybe not now. Maybe not now, but someday, sometime it will...
