-- Chapter Two -- The city of Carronne stands at the edge of the Sea of Darkness. The land around it is barren and bleak, as are the lifeless waters of the sea that wash against it. It wasn’t always like this, however, for once the seas were alive with fish and great beasts, and the land was awash with green. But following the war, when the defeat of the King’s armies had transpired and the King himself had lost his head in battle, it was then that a curse had been placed upon the city and

@Summerabbacat spot on! I remember we had an end of year party at the home of one of the girls in our friendship group and that was pretty much all we played that night ... and that was late '81. We were in Year 12. Well, there ya go! haha. Oh, and I still have my cassette!

I think their Greatest Hits came out in my last year of High School (or at least that's when I got a copy) so when I had my own car not long afterwards I had that playing EVERY summer! LOL And yeah, Leif was pretty cool. As were Jan and Dean! MP

Very nice. But given the setting, may I offer this one...

A very fitting end to this part of the story ... with the promise of more to come! Thank you, sir, for taking us on this journey!

@drsawzall thank you.

@weinerdog I think you will like him.

Yup... there he be! 😁

@Summerabbacat hmmmm ... the stunning man doesn't appear to have materialised. lol As for a model for Septimus, if my memory serves me correctly, I believe I may have had Allan Rickman's Sherif of Nottingham, from Prince of Thieves, in mind at the time! 😋

@Summerabbacat yeah, I know this kind of stuff isn't everybody's cup of tea, but as I recall, when I started writing it, I was looking to write stories that were different from some of the others I had written, in style and subject. It could probably do with a rock and roll soundtrack, ya know! LOL

Welcome to a world where everything is not quite as it seems; a world of myth and mystery, of knights and castles and dragons, and where love knows no boundaries. For many hundreds of years, the brave and loyal knights of the Order of the Dragon have served and protected the King and the people of the Five Lands of Candor, but when they are defeated in battle by the forces of the usurper, the Dark Lord, Septimus, the entire known world changes. As the Dark Lord assumes power, aided by a tr

-- Chapter One -- In the city of Carronne, in the Valley of Carramar, where the hot winds blow endlessly from across the barren Plains of Ashmere, until they reach the Sea of Darkness, there stands a gaol. It is not an ordinary gaol, for in reality there are very few prisoners inhabiting its walls. It is a dark and foreboding place, a place filled with terror, with hidden chambers, dank cells and dim corridors, and a place where only the most vicious, or most important, of prisoners ar

Welcome to a world where everything is not quite as it seems; a world of myth and mystery, of knights and castles and dragons, and where love knows no boundaries. The knights of the Order of the Dragon have been defeated, with the usurper - the Dark Lord, Septimus - assuming control of the Five Lands of Candor, while he seeks the Golden Throne of Jeebath. This is the story of those who stand in his way.
-
@Summerabbacat yup, I do recognise it, though wouldn't have been able to name it if asked. At that stage it was probably while I was deep in "country mode" and gest not my thang! lol
-
@Summerabbacat seriously? I had no idea! That'll make Taita very special then!
-
@weinerdog oh yes, these guys will definitely be back ...
-
@Summerabbacat I have no idea where you find all these artists and songs that I've never heard of, but it sure is entertaining checking them out!
-
@Summerabbacat "a story centred around the aging disco diva?" yeah ... nah !!! LOL And as for Helen ... yeah, we will learn more about her. For instance, she has a tortoiseshell cat named 'Taita'. 'After the Wilbur Smith character? Why Taita?' Rick asked. 'Because he didn't have any balls either!' Helen replied. There you go ... just one little tease for you!

-- Epilogue -- ‘Are you ready yet?’ I heard Adam call from the other room. The answer to that question was no, of course. I was currently in the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror, naked, and running a finger along the five-inch scar that ran across my stomach. It was a pale line against my lightly-tanned skin, just below my rib cage on the left, and just below my heart, and all the while I was thinking about the strange twists and turns that our journey through life can take.

@Summerabbacat and yes ... To Know Him Is To Love Him is brilliant. Probably one of the reasons I picked it up in the first place to be honest.

@Summerabbacat Linda could sing the bloody phone book and win a Grammy for it! I don't know of anyone who has such a broad repertoir (sp???) of albums across different genres. Didn't she turn her hand to opera at one point as well??? Amazing talent!!!
-
@Summerabbacat I have that Trio album. Not the other one though...
-
@Summerabbacat choices, choices, choices! LOL
-
@Summerabbacat maybe we need to be telling Rick to...
