When a personal grudge threatens to endanger the lives of not only himself but of all the people he holds dear, Seamus the half-orc is forced to enlist the help of his friends in order to deal with the threat. Yet not all is as it seems, and the journey eventually forces him to make an impossible choice. For exactly how wise is it to put your trust in a demon's word? ---------------------------------------------- NOTE from the writer: This is the short story I wrote based on a D&D arc in the game I run as a dungeon master. I plan to release a chapter every week, sort of episodic! It is also the spark that eventually led me to publish my first novel: The Lady's Gift - Part One of the Chosen Saga. I posted this as an example of my writing style, so if you like this, be sure to check out the novel through my profile and blog link! Hope you enjoy, and any criticism or comments are very, very welcome.
