The first chapters of the new story 'Nicolae' have been sent to the Moderators for posting.
Yes, I know that I'm late, very late getting this story posted, but I had a problem develop on Friday morning. I lost my Internet connection. At first, we thought that it was a minor interruption. To make a long story short, it wasn't. The cable connecting my house to the provider's cable box went bad. The company finally sent a technician to install a new temporary cable on the ground. A permanent cable will be installed later. Today, Tuesday, I finally have internet service again.
The new story in entitled Nicolae.
After being killed by the raiders, Nikshith goes to check on the other villagers. They don't believe he is him as they had seen him killed. On being rebuffed, he sets out to retrieve his sword. He eventually finds it broken and discarded on the battlefield where the raiders were defeated and annihilated. Later he talks to the man who had cut his sword in half. He starts on the long journey to find such a sword.
A thousand years later, Nikshith, now known as Nicolae, rescues a young woman from being assaulted and murdered by three men in a gang initiation. He then disappears with her. The police are looking for her and want her to report to their headquarters. Nicolar coaches her on what to tell them and what to do.
This is a side story in the Ley Line Witch series. The characters from it and another story, 'Little Dragon Lost' yet to be written will appear in the final story of the series 'The Four Queens' when I get it written.
For now enjoy these two chapters. I will be posting the next two chapters on Friday of this week providing I don't lose my Internet connection again.
Keep Well,
