Blurb
Violet
and Athanor Griffin reunite with their baby son after escaping from the world
beyond the fiery Cosmic Rift, but they find no respite from troubles. The
Council has declared Athanor dead, and are fighting for the leadership position
as Chair. Hordes of bloodsucking Ixioth slavers threaten galactic civilization,
and a new enemy has emerged from the alternate universe, an enemy immune to the
Grand Masters’ psychic powers. The dynamic couple are soon swamped with pleas
for help from across the galaxy. Athanor swears to crush the insectoid Ixioths
and expel the Nulls, while Violet has vowed to save the captive children of
Cinerea. Can the two Griffins reconcile their divergent promises, or must they
separate for the tasks of rescuing the prisoners and defeating the slavers?
Join
the psychic superstars on this epic adventure, meet aliens of all stripes, and
of course, the fabulous dragons of Sythos.
Stimon, the Master Smith, runs a forge inside the crater of
an active volcano. He makes various devices for the Grand Masters, and perhaps
for others.
Continuing from last week, Violet and Athanor Griffin have
taken their son, Varan, to visit the Smith.

Athanor tilted his head in greeting, “Indeed, we are happy to be
reunited.” Quickly coming to the point, he said, “Master Stimon, I have a
commission for you, and I wish to consult you on a related matter.”
Stimon rubbed his hands together, “Business is slow; invasions
threaten. Customers have retreated to their homes with their minds attuned to
defense.”
“Defense is precisely my goal,” Athanor growled. “Violet and I
need new rings with the protective silver fluid. Mine was lost and her ring was
damaged.”
“Do you have the gold and the psi-enhancing liquid, Grand
Master?”
“Here is the silver liquid.” Athanor pulled a vial from under
his robes, “I’ll fetch as much gold as you require for the rings, and more to
pay for the chain you made for our son.”

As always, I’ll be happy to reply to your comments.
I hope that's all he'll need. Good snippet, Aurora.
ReplyDeleteStimon is practical not avaricious.
DeleteI hope it's an easy commission as well. Sounds a bit complicated to me. Nice snippet!
ReplyDeleteThe Master Smith makes a variety of items for the Grand Masters. Wedding rings are simple to make, the silver fluid is not.
DeleteInteresting sidelight on all the things the Master Smith can make! I enjoyed the details here, great snippet...
ReplyDeleteOooh, cool magic devices. Neat.
DeleteThey have several.
DeleteInteresting magical item to have. Intriguing snippet.
ReplyDeleteThey have several.
DeleteOooo I wanna see the end result!
ReplyDeleteThere will be a little delay!
DeleteOhh ... interesting little bit of magic.
ReplyDeleteFascinating snippet, I love the sound of these rings, I hope things go right for them, and Simeon will do as they ask in time.
ReplyDeleteStimon is not the problem. He's on their side.
DeleteInteresting rings. I hope whoever found his won't be an enemy.
ReplyDeleteAn enemy probably took his ring, but it was only worth the gold.
