Wow! This story is amazing so far! Beautifully written and wonderful imagery. I can really get a feel for the old knight and the scenery surrounding him.

Thanks for the six! I hope you will stick around and enjoy more of the story. It's all in my portfolio. And it's great to have you as a fan.

I think this is a wonderful beginning to an interesting story.
I suspect it will be dragons that emerge from the eggs.
Well told and I look forward to reading more.

Excellent first chapter. It's great to now have a context for the more recent chapters. Delightful humour. There's an echo of Don Quixote in this old knight, though he's up to much more than merely tilting at windmills!

Comment from David M. Miller
Interesting story you have hear. Is this the first chapter/section? I think it has a good strength of drawing in the reader and giving personality to the knight as he speaks to his horse. Maybe it would be stronger if there were more background on how the knight got here, but I suppose that could be getting flushed out in later/earlier parts of the story.

Yes, this is the first chapter. I'm nearly done, so I bought a book balloon so the people who came in late could catch up.

"The horse picked his way carefully back through the thick growth, mindful of the low branches hanging above his rider's head." a trusty steed indeed!
I love your main character and his conversations with his horse.
I can't wait to see what happens next!

Hi Cindy. I loved this. You have a great sense of humor in your descriptions of this aging knight Aaron and his horse, Demon. "He knew it was not because the forest needed guarding, but because the king didn't know what else to do with him." This is so true of older folk. A spot is found somewhere to make them feel they are useful. I like the relationship between horse and rider--touching and considerate. Marilyn

I enjoyed your storytelling about the old knight and his horse. I certainly did not expect them to find dragon eggs! Thanks too for the glowing artwork to complement your prose. Smiles- Joan
