Not For Hire.

This short story was posted under the old eFiction and never transferred over. There it was titled 'Merchant's Gold', but I never really liked the title. So with a few tweaks, I am reposting it now. It was/is the very basic idea for a much long story I hope to one day post.

A wealthy merchant wants Kenard dead. When he fails to hire the wizard Marcus, Kenard finds he is still not in the clear.

This was a fantastic short story and a powerful scene of magic in action. Not many people can write a fantasy combat scene, with both martial and magical aspects, and this story does excellent in both. It was minimalist in details of the world at large, which is typically a drawback on fantasy stores, but not where the focus of the story was. The lack of an Infodump, is a serious burden on the reader, as they have no clue what the world is about.

 

Barring the lack of description, and details in the form of an Infodump, I still rated the story five-stars for the action-packed scene alone.
