Every skill she has will be called upon, and the only man she will ever love forever comes into her life. Survival, infinite love, it is the way of the sorcerer. Even then.

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.

The rest was traveled by foot or horseback into the reaches of the Oregon Territory, although more and more of the trail was opening up for the immigrants that had to find their way to the sea. Like many Native Americans, the Shoshone were eventually decimated, then forcibly moved to reservations far from their home. Though the story, Trail of Tears, applied to many southeastern, mid-west and south- west tribes, the Shoshone, enduring the same forced march, nearly slipped into obscurity. But even in the most dire of circumstance, regardless of the...

In the summer, Maui's north shore will throw up sixty foot waves. Those are more than dangerous enough. In the winter, those can reach one hundred feet and they are all too often, deadly.

The setting, up in the far northwest of North America, British Columbia to be exact, was beautiful, tranquil and a home site seemingly designed for the new settlers. It had the lake, the mountains, the granite peaks, and all. Privacy, isolation, and friends in the local Indian village. They named it Mirror Lake, for it simply stole one's breath away trying to take it all in. But then, it had something else that was not easily seen. Animals and people could not get near the water. Near it, or on it, no one survived. But only crazy people swim in the great frozen lakes of BC. Too cold, always...
