Chapter Eighty-two – Practical Magic

Dragon food was spicy. Not spicy as in hot – though it was that, too – but spicy like Indian food, with a complex combination of flavors that wasn’t always to Pandy’s taste. Still, she ate,...

Chapter Eighty-one – Dinner With A Dragon

The dragon took Pandy with him to the library. This worked out, since she had nothing else to do, but she was a bit miffed that no one bothered to ask. The dragon just scooped her up – his skin f...

Chapter Seventy-five - Please Don’t Squeeze the Charm(in)

When Keros had appeared beside Pandy, she wasn’t really afraid. In spite of his rippling muscles and casual use of power, she could tell that he was harmless. Or at least mostly harmless. Now, th...

Chapter Seventy-four – Oatmeal and Wild Asphodel

Keros was chained to a rock. That was an odd thing to happen to anyone, especially a god, but Keros was an odd god, at least in Pandy’s admittedly very limited experience. He didn’t seem to be ...
