I read anything that interests me and write high fantasy, historical with fantastic elements, and pulp.
Shaw turned as the waitress set a burger in front of him. “How do you figure that?”
“He’s looking at murder charge and he knows it. It’s not safe to stay in Texas, even in a big city like San Antonio.”
Shaw picked up his burger. “So run for the Mexican border.”

As luck would have it, Louis ambled out of the terminal with a paper bag as she strode out of the hangar.
“I got your burger.”
Stella inhaled. “New problem.”
“What now?”
“There’s a demon in the hangar, waiting for Ulocim. A new one. Shondill brought friends."

Stella looked back at the sentry. “Don’t you speak their language?”
“Sort of. I do speak Cree, but a different form of it from far east of here. I can get by in a pinch, but it’s Constable Benton that speaks the local dialect. And the headman, Etchemin, speaks French.”

He leaned forward to check the road. Nothing stirred on the end that disappeared into the koa forest backdropped by the local volcano. On the end that snaked down toward the beach, two figures silhouetted against the deep red tropical dusk walked toward him.

The corpse of the troll lay at the bottom of the river, turned to stone. Apparently the sun petrified them even if they were already dead. The troll’s shape was lost, the contours blurred. It was rather like the pictures of old shipwrecks he’d seen

“No, that can’t be right. You said it yourself, his picture’s been in the post office for five years. That’s not someone who’d be able to be seen in public enough to plan and set up something this elaborate.”

Charles froze. “Wait a minute. Wait one dag-blasted minute! His finger drummed hysterically against a picture. “That’s him! This one has a big mustache, but that’s him. For sure! Those funny oblong ears, I didn’t remember them before, but I do now. It’s got to be him.”

Eopphus son of Tolkus led his people into the tunnels of the dwarves and wrested the secrets of steel from them.
Gih son of Cochus killed a hundred elves with his own hands. Carthus son of Uchius conquered ten cities and two empires.
They were all called Son of Orc.

Hello, #NovemberWorldbulders! This week’s theme is GOOD and EVIL where we share morality in our fictional worlds. Today's question is about HEROES from the past. Do you have any characters who lived and performed acts of heroism before the main story starts?

Skade doesn't like fancy parties, even though she has to attend a lot of them. She can just wear her livery, but they're full of grand people who might LOOK at her. It's a downside of changing careers from beggar to lady's maid. But at least she knows where her next meal is coming from.

What is your character's opinion on fancy parties?
Do they like getting dressed up and glad-handing?
Would they rather stay home in their pajamas?
Are they planning a heist while the guests are distracted?

Jerome picked up the book. He tugged at his ruff and sweated a little. “Um…”
“What?” Lady Seis started. “Oh! How silly of me.” She held out a hand. Jerome handed the book over.“Ah, here we are. ‘Hoc est quod facere debes-’”
“Is there something in your throat?”

But Stella was used to being the center of attention when her machine arrived in some out of the way place where planes were little known, and it bothered her the people packed in the lodge had barely given her a glance before they resumed their aimless milling.

“Banyus. Old Banyus. I remember… he cut the lungs once. He knew how. He could have taught me how. There are five fives of five things he could have taught me. Why didn’t they let him? Why does the law say surgeons can teach so little to their apprentices?”

She hurdled a tree trunk and gained a little ground. Tachibana had fallen well behind, but surely this little man who sat in his house fiddling with some gadget for years was about ready to drop. She caught his figure as it passed through a tiny patch of sunlight.

The wurm’s flowing movement stopped. It twisted its head from side to side like a dog. Its tongue tasted the ground yet again.
Rishus stared at the glassy, reptilian eyes. “He smells the others. He smells danger.”

Tachibana edged toward the window, the revolver in his hand cocked and levelled. “Sounds like you got him.”
Stella lay where she was, her vision focused down the sights and hunting for any movement. “No, I just scared him. There’s a different scream when you hit them.”

The minutes crawled by. The setting sun baked Luke’s scalp, and he glanced at his Sombrero on the rock beside him. But it was risky enough to stick his head up without adornment. Time dripped past. The sun sank toward the horizon.
“Movement!” Cavazos hissed.

“We confirmed the trail with the mages. They followed the Blue Javelins into the desert. By the time we catch up to them, they’ll be dead anyway.”

“So we know he didn’t have a new uniform made. Therefore he swiped someone else’s. Who among the guards is missing his uniform?”
“No one I know of.”
“There must be someone. Find him. From there, perhaps we can follow the trail back to the source of this outrage.”

The dwarf roared with surprise as his savage blow bounced off the ready steel. Crattus surged forward and carried humans and dwarves alike back in his rush. As Incelus reached the top, his foot slipped off the water-coated rung and his ribs slammed into the battlement.
