Bastard Noire

Even Andrews

Submitted to Contest #263

Good and evil are all a matter of choice and perspective, one’s hero is another’s villain. Robin Hood, a classic example of this. Robin becomes a bandit to provide for the poor villagers.

Even Andrews

Submitted to Contest #260

Dùghall strummed his mandolin as the rain pelted the bridge above. He played to a small band of travelers seeking freedom from the raging storm above. Dùghall sang “Thunder clashed, the heavens wept, As sword and claw in battle swept, The dragon's roar shook earth and sky, But the knight stood firm, with battle cry, Beast and man intertwined, Bloodstained ledge,…”. The sodden travelers appreciated a free show and a chance to be liberated from the ensuing storm. Dùghall found the entertainment of the lesser folk first-rate advertisement for t...
