《A Skazka》The Sheep and the Merchant boy
Advertisement
A sheep passes through fields of green grasslands, munching down bits and its of grass, and drinking water from crystal clear ponds. It then passes by men with hoes, who are cultivating munchy carrots, juicy cucumbers, and chewy cabbages.
Once upon a time, the sheep enter a city full of humans. The appearance of the sheep gains the attention of a street boy. 'Sheep, sheep!' calls the boy, 'Can I harvest your wool?'
'Have the wool on my arms,' replies the sheep. The street boy cuts the wool off and thanks for its kindness.
The street boy isn't done with the sheep, as it asks if he can have the rest of wool; unfortunately for the boy, the sheep says it needs the rest of the wool for when winter starts in five months.
'Winter?' the boy questions, 'By the time winter starts, all your wool will grow back.' The sheep trump by the boy's logic and lets the boy cut all its wool.
'Now I look at you,' states the sheep, 'I question your need for my wool when you already have clothing over your body.' 'Your wool will be sold for a month worth of money for food,' says the boy. 'Food?' questions the sheep, 'Why buy food when your feet are on it.' The sheep kneels and munches a mouthful of grass.
The boy explains that humans can't eat grass as they have a different diet. 'Fine,' the sheep nods in agreement, 'then what about the men who are cultivating munchy carrots, juicy cucumbers, and chewy cabbages?'
'Those men are farmers; however, I am a merchant,' says the boy. The sheep is trump again by the boy's logic; nevertheless, it asks one last question, 'Why is it that four months of growing of wool is going to equate only a month of food for you?'
The boy nods at the sheep's reasoning and replies, 'You and I are not the same; therefore, you and I can't be satisfied with the same things; as one is a boy and the other is a sheep.'
The two farewelled and walk their separate ways happily ever after.

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?

The Spear and The Cross
The World of Marrh has been embroiled in a decades-long struggle between the eventually divided Zurul Horde and the ever-decaying Juman Empire. A war whose causes for carnage have long been forgotten. A half-orc and a human will eventually meet paths, their fates intertwined to save their dying world from their peoples' conflict and from an outsider's interference... Will they succeed, or will they succumb to failure? Only the Divine will truly know. NOTE: I upload chapters (about +2,500 words) on an irregular basis, so don't expect much from me. I write for fun only, and this book is an amateurish attempt at showcasing my world on The Spear and The Cross. If you still want to stick around, then go ahead. Maybe it'll be a fun ride. And also, a big thanks to my artist friend, Milkuii, for the wonderful cover art.
