Better than epic!

Enter the Druid

The walk back to Troubeck passed peacefully. Entering through the eastern gate felt less wistful than the last time. I had grown attached to the druid’s grove while I spent time there. I found myself turning the leaf-shaped pendant Gregorius had given me over with my fingers. It was good […]

Enter the Druid: Greenstead

It only took us two days to make our way back to the druid’s grove. The area was much more sparsely inhabited than it was during the festival. We walked by the few permanent structures the grove maintained and were intercepted by a pair of druids. “Brother,” one of them […]

Enter the Druid: A Little Problem

The goblin sitting on the throne struck the handle of his hammer on the throne’s arm. Crack. Crack. Crack. “Well, well,” he said. His mouth twisted into what I supposed was meant to be a smile. He rose from his seat and hefted his hammer onto his shoulder. He grimaced […]

Enter the Druid: Goblin King

We left the cover of the forest after the river of goblins chasing Barry disappeared from sight. The village was strangely quiet after it emptied. Even the forest around the huts was completely silent. What life there was had retreated from the vicious goblins once they claimed this land as […]

Enter the Druid: Payback

“Wake up!” urged Barry in a hushed voice. A small boot dug into my shoulder when I didn’t respond fast enough. “There are torches coming our way. I can hear voices.” Kaius shook Lluc and Greg awake. Max stretched his front paws out in front of him, arching his back. […]

Lluc spoke up as we left the clearing and druids behind us. “Kaius and I talked with some of the druids who remained behind after the rest of you went gallivanting off into the woods last night. They said they’ve had a few goblin incursions over the last few weeks.” […]

Enter the Druid: Max

I awoke the next day with a profound pain centered just above my eyes. I was in a small building made entirely of oak. A few beds laid in rows in the center of the floor and clay jars filled shelves along the walls. Light came in through the only […]

Enter the Druid: Hospitality

Stories always make heroes seem so well compensated. They get land or are granted titles. The only resident of the small village that seemed eager to thank us was the young girl Kaius had stepped in front of to shield her from the goblins. She had her arms firmly wrapped […]

Enter the Druid: The Grove

“Kiokri,” Greg called, pointing to a mark on his map, east-northeast of Troubeck. “Headmaster Fabijan told me that there is a druids’ grove here.” That was surprising, although when I thought about it later I realized it shouldn’t have been. This world was similar to mine in so many ways. […]

Enter the Druid: Little Green Men

Nostalgia is a funny thing. I’ve traveled a lot during my life and never had a real home, so I was surprised when the feeling started to creep up on me when we first caught sight of Troubeck. It was diminished somewhat when I saw the heads decorating pikes by […]
