Both are shocked. Brenda because her life is turned upside down, on the run, but with a man who could well define the ideal... if he wasn't so damned elusive. Jack, because of all those he babysat over the years ...

Before the Roman Emperor turned his focus to the east, the Arabic lands were a place of life, death, magic, and constant struggle to make ends meet. Or, meet your end. There were those who could help, either way. Sorcerers understood life, dismissed death as an inconvenience in those they lost, but they developed, over time, an uncanny skill to survive. And, already, there was a Church Order, not of Christianity, Muslim or anything recognizable who were determined to destroy the ‘evil’ Sorcerers. Of course, it helped that the Sorcerers were men, the Church Order all women hoping, or ...

A semi-fictional warning told in Police vignettes. In the wilderness, any hunter with any common sense knows the rule. If you do not represent a threat, the animals, even the predators, will leave you alone. If you must interface with them, you have to understand that they do not trust mankind and their hackles rise, forcing a violent confrontation. The hunter does not always win that fight. Now, replace the 'Hunter' with 'Police Officer' and the 'predators' are those people who do not have their civilized behavior as containment walls in place, so the animal is loose. But unfortunately, ...

CHAOS History: According to Zoroastrianism, the main religion in the Persian Empire, Ahriman or Angra Mainyu was the god of all that is bad and chaotic in the world.

He found good people from those he hardly understood, and, by God, he would answer that deliberate challenge. His way. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

Master Sorcerer Morgan had been around too many people with a hand out, seeking what he possessed. But it could not be shared, and he could not grant three wishes.

The Druids ruled in government, religion, and other positions of power until the Romans showed up in what was called Briton. With cruel intent, the Romans spread vicious rumors about sacrifice and butchery until the Druids were a diminished clan in hiding. The Romans thought they ended that reign, pulled out in the fifth century, and maybe so, but they opened the door to evolution. There were, at that time, hardly noticed, hundreds of Sorcerers playing low key and pulling strings from the shadows. If the two should meet... Fodder for #The Storyteller, of course. Enjoy.
