I'll see what I can do. I can be pretty conservative about revealing details on the 'net so it may be a somewhat incognito appearance.

Well, that's sort of disappointing.

Today's episode: Queen of the Jamael


“But Uwen, isn’t it more likely someone also read Hauerdred and copied the murders? If you are right that would mean there is a demon of Ngak in the palace! How can that be? Ngak is chained in the Nethers.”

“Mm, to be honest I’ve often wondered, Gaalen. But that is probably a much longer discussion, and we should include my father for any authoritative analysis. However, there are many things from our ancient past that may or may not be true, or may have some nugget of truth underneath embellishment and translation. Take the ancient legend of Queen Saelevea of the Jamael forest-people. Some don’t believe the Jamael even existed, that they were myths themselves, quite aside from their Warrior Queen. I have heard or read no less than a half-dozen versions of her battle with the savage king Thaalak.”

The sunlight seemed to warm the library. Lazy dust motes floated through beams of light that seemed to take on solid form, as if Gaalen could reach out and touch their straight, glowing lines. He tried to listen carefully to Uwen, but his cousin tended to lose him in his long-winded explanations. As Uwen droned on, Gaalen fought to keep his eyelids open.

Fighting to stay awake, he stole a glance at Siere, who was staring straight ahead at Uwen, as if in a trance. She swayed slightly. Gaalen held up his hand to Uwen.

“Seeress, are you alright?”

After a pause, she spoke, barely above a whisper, “I am fine. Please continue.”

“Yes, of course. Well, in all of them, Thaalak is said to be all but invincible – protected by some dark power. He kills the queen’s Prince Consort Lojin, who bathes an arrow in his own blood while dying, giving it the power to kill Thaalak. In Aela Markuus’s history On the Ancient Peoples, the Queen stabs him in the shoulder with it. But in Archseeress Jubulata’s account in Chronicles of the Aomman Temple, though, she stabs him with a dagger bathed in Lojin’s blood, and in the Idraelaanit it’s again an arrow but bathed in the kara’ha’s blood not Lojin’s. You see the ancient word rashtha is translated differently – sometimes it is rendered as ‘arrow’ and sometimes as ‘dagger’ or ‘knife’, but I’ve seen it…”

Gaalen glanced at Siere again as Uwen rambled on about the inadequacy of modern Graytongue. Gaalen’s alertness had returned, but her eyelids were heavy, and she was clearly unsteady now. He thought he caught a flash of the whites in her dark eyes. Uwen did not seem to notice, and continued his discourse while searching through a tome for some forgotten detail.

“Still another tale – Lady Talasa’s Maadrasanol I believe – yes, here! – this says she seduces him first, then kills him with the dagger or the arrow while he sleeps. In my favorite version, however, Saelevea calls the creatures of the forest to defeat the Thaalak’s army, and she puts an arrow through his heart while flying on the back of a winged…Seeress? Are you…?”

Gaalen looked again at Siere, whose breathing had become shallow and her eyes unfocused. She swayed toward him and hesitantly, he reached up to put hand on her shoulder and steady her. “Seeress Meron, you are not well.”

LOL - I never read it like that! HAHA!

OK, but seriously - what does D.D.I.G. stand for? I've seen it but can't work it out...

Are you boys being naughty? I'll be leaving soon and I have no one to watch you two. I have no idea what I'll be coming home to later.
