An Attempt at Fantasy

Here is a sampling of excerpts from a yet to be named, and finished, novel I have been working on for the past few years. All these excerpts are from the same story but different plot and time lines so have fun trying to piece them together! As the title suggests, this is my attempt at writing in the style of fantasy, inspired the works of Tolkien, Lewis and with a little Athurian legend thrown in, thought I doubt I will ever rise to their level of greatness. In saying so, don't be surprised if you come across such things as magic epic adventures, pirates, or even mermaids. I hope you take as much joy out of this when reading it as I did writing it.
