The Drop in Centre

[MichaelS36]

Okay... I was allowed to read a bit..  do not tell tim... 

 

The trio met the Stone Men’s scouts on the final switchback near the summit.

“Stop, ye three.” One of the massive men stepped forward, the palm of his hand held outward. “Stop now and speak.”

Stravor halted the pony and then walked up the incline to get nearer to the man. “Why we call them men, I know not. They are the size of a full-grown troll or two Gotesian bulls.” He stopped before the creature and looked up. “I am Stravor the Younger, a Searcher travelling in the name of Lord God Hemothracene. You should know of me.”

The Stone Man drew his sword. “We do know of you, Stravor the Younger. Our orders were to watch for you and bid you pass safely.” The creature’s voice was bass and rumbled out of its mouth like quiet thunder.

“Good. Then pass we shall.” Stravor turned, to go back to Keter and the pony.

The ground shook as the leader of two scouts stepped forward. “No, I think not. Hemothracene cannot see. You two will be tasty and then the pony for afters. We’ll enjoy sucking the marrow from its bones.”

Stravor stopped. In front of him he could see Keter’s frightened expression. Behind him came the Stone Men. Their heavy feet causing the ground to quake and cracks to appear in the well-packed track. He watched as the pony shook its head and turned away, it carried Keter, at a gallop down the mountainside.

“Run little one.” Stravor whispered as he turned. “Keep the boy safe.”

Stravor drew the Sword; it glowed red. “You are ready my faithful friend? These souls we want not. Let them die with their masters.”

Wow!!! Thanks for sharing this, Mike. 

And, now that I’ve had a taste, I needs more, more, and some more. Guess for now, I’ll have to settle for peanut butter....

I know @Mikiesboy has another hit on his hands. If I remember correctly, the next major scene after this one, blew my mind.

[Brayon]

Been in lurker mode dealing with this class, but I am around.

Not to go on a rant, but....

Amazon Prime... Yes, I did look up sippy cups for a toddler. Yes, I did order said sippy cups for a toddler. Yes, I looked up and ordered other toddler and younger items. Not for me, but for family because I have Prime (student member, can't attach anyone to my account) and they don't. Yes, I ordered some baby stuff... but again, it wasn't for me... so can we stop with the ads and emails for Breast Pumps, Bottles, Diapers, and butt rash cream? KTHXBYE

I'm gonna have to order some gay pride stuff just to get this off my "recommendations."

@Mikiesboy Don’t look so surprised - yes, I’m referring to your emoji choice on this comment - I can’t help my attempt at backdoor deals. In fact, I think I should blame you for writing such fantastic stories. Just saying...

Sometimes these recommendations are weird and out of place. Like what did I ever order to make you think i’d want that weird food item or toys for a kitten I don’t have! Lol.
