    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    A click of the teeth and a pat of the bench saw the timber wolf stalk over to Jeb's side. Big lolling tongue come lick the side of his wiry beared, and the man with his gnarled knuckles pat and scruffled the dread hound. All their breath swirled with mist. All the ice, creaked the more. All...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    And like the tongue of a hungry dog come slathering, the room filled with a cold and heartless wind. All came to rime. All came to frost. Glittering, diamond, blue. Even the flame. Turned blue. And there amidst it all, sat Jeb. Twisted brow, and cracked smile. Fingers steepled before...

    "Fair," Jeb chuffed. "Fair as the day the first settler took axe to the trees, or cleared ground with rake of iron plow," a laugh, down in the coils of a man. "Fair is as fair does, master Til, dont'chu forget, these walls," a loop round with loose finger. "done stand where no walls were meant...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    With the pour of the cup, the man named Jeb clinked glasses with the table, and took down the drink. All cold fire come wash across his throat and fill his stomach with heat. "Cold was the night, and biting was the frost, so much so that the wind did howl and the snow set to dance to the mad...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    A huff of laughter, like smoke clouds come billow from the top of cook-fires, fed a fresh drop of fat that'd been set to sizzle. "Zif a 'til needs pen to steal the words," he winked to the greying man. Stroked his beard with knobby fingers. "Nay, but the story begs to be told, stolen as it might...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    A twitch of the brow. A split of the lips. Flesh pulled back to show long and crooked teeth. Novo took Novo's cup. The spirits there in, the work so toiled over, so cared for, so danced about by spirits proper, of death, of life, of revelry and mourning. And he hadn't taken the right cup...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    Jeb's brow twist and turned the more with each scratch of quill and murmured word that passed across the til's lips. Like so many brambles grown rampant upon the garden of his expression, watered well by the rain. But 'for he could spit his poison, Yenles called out. Came and sat right next to...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    A dark laugh from Jeb's mouth went and fell out in a tumble. "Wouldn't say no, would ye?" his smile tilted all lopsided like as he made a pleased hum. "Wouldn't say no," he growled with some thought. "Well then, ye ever have Janna's famed spirit?" his smile turned smirk. "Burns liek the bite of...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    A grunt from the wild eyed Jeb. A groan, and a swig of drink. Turned glug and chug. The tankard came clack against the wood of the table. A burp errupted from his mouth, and he grinned all the more satisfied. A smack from on side. "Jeb!" A cruel little chuckle. "Pardon, Aise, the cold's...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    Dark eyes held fast the 'til's easy gaze. A bottomless thing. Cold and merciless as a midnight storm. A crack across features that had seemed to freeze. The corner of the lips thawed to show long and yellowed teeth. A slow roil of a laugh, bubbled up from the depths of Jeb's throat. Singular...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    A slurp and a long pull from the drink. Whiskers came free from the draught with thick foam clung to wiry dark bristles. A low laugh. "Laxvik Vatten?" long gnarled fingers stroked away the mess from the mop above his lips. "What's a round soft 'til such as ye doin goin so close to the moons?"...

    Dare Tell of Tomorrow

    Upon the storm winds, he howled. Novo laughed like cracks of thunder come from the great clouds above as wings of gold burned bright across the dark sky. Like embers let fly. The fairies light shift as it swirled with snow and ice that rode the torrents of night. Come sweep through the cracks...
