Discord attempt 2?
Alright it's midnight and I finally have time to work on this.
Is this the right link?
Alright it's midnight and I finally have time to work on this.
Is this the right link?
So I opened a discord server but I have no idea what to do with it. Social media and I don't mix and I have very little exposure to it. But I am told this is a good way to connect with readers so I want to try it.
I named it "Dragon Knight Prophecy" I am assuming that is all anybody needs to find it?

From deep within the shadows he waited. His men were hidden safely in the brush, well outside the range a human eye could see detail. More men were sent to circle the hill at a safe distance to ensure the prey could not slip away in the darkness. His men had followed the prey all day, waiting for them to stop for the night.
Now he sat patiently and waited. He knew if they left the safety of the deep shadows, they would be seen. If they were seen, then the prey would...

The night air was still and full of the sound of insects. Ayawa knelt at the edge of a bush at the top of a hill. She scanned the distant landscape staring into the darkness with searching eyes. They had made good time running across the wilds. Ayawa opted to forgo stealth and run as far and as fast as they could. She kept them off roads and took them across the back runs of farms and woodlands.
Now that night had settled, Tavis finally got the rest he ...

Sorry all. I know it’s been awhile since I posted but I have been SWAMPED with chores. On the plus side I have been spending my free hours working on a barn I own. I showed you it earlier. Well it is rented out and hopefully I will have a fat paycheck this month. This will allow me to step back my hours and do more writing.
I can’t tell you how much my writing means to me. It is something that is hard to explain. When I can’t write I feel like I am wasting ...

The warm air that blew through the city smelled of smoke and ash. Jessivel arrived to find the city smoldering in the aftermath of an attack. He and his captain quickly sought out his orders temple and confronted the priest on guard at the doors. The answers to the questions he asked made his concerns grow.
He stood there before the temple of Astikar in his plate armor wearing his white sash with the red star of Astikar with a small white eye in the center. His long...
2019-08-11 02:10:41 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the big gap in chapters I have been super busy. I will be hopefully posting the next chapter on August 6th.
I find that not being able to work on my story makes me feel depressed. I love telling it so much. I would put out a chapter a day if I had the time to do so. Well maybe every two days since my editing skills are so terrible. That extra day will help.
They raced down the streets sticking to wide lanes to avoid people. Most of the city still seemed at peace with groups of people looking to the west and pointing at the rising smoke.
Tavis held his hat down and led the way aiming for the east wall and hopefully a gate out into the countryside. Thus far, they had kept a good pace, and he felt his luck was riding high until they turned a corner.
Crowds of people ran across a large courtyard screaming as men in...

Thayle laid her head down on his chest as Lilly panted across him on the other side. She felt his strong arm curl around her back and pull her close as she put an arm on his chest. Lilly smiled and reached across and put her hand over Thayles as they laid on their husband.
So many thoughts ran through her mind, and she hoped none of them were peeking. She had finally done what she agreed to do, and now she lay in their bed. Her body still tingling from the passio...

This is what I have been cleaning up and trying to make ready. As you can see it's a little run down, but it will look nice again.
I want to let you all know I have been very short tempered and thin skinned of late. Most of this has to do with the fact that my wife is ill and bedridden. I take care of her and in the periods in between I do my writing. This is one of the reasons why I can write so much. However life has gone wrong and I have had to start working outside the home. This means my wife is home alone for long periods of time unable to do anything for herself. My only consolation is tha...

Tavis yawned as the walls of Mordholm came into view. They had ridden hard all through the dark hours of the morning and finally reached the outskirts of the city an hour after dawn. Thus far, they had seen nothing that was out of the ordinary or suggested there had been any trouble.
Ayawa had Gedris remove her armor and change into one of her dresses, a simple tan dress with a green line around the skirt. Ayawa brushed out Gedris's short hair leaving it upbrai...

The night air was moist as Tavis projected his sight around the camp. The sky above was masked by thin clouds that hid the stars and turned the moon into a blurry disk.
They had parted ways with Twocrow and the oak tribe that morning. After the deaths on the road, most of his people agreed to aid them in the coming fight. However, they all insisted they complete the horse trade first. Twocrows left early to complete his trade and send the horses back with three of his peo...

The sun blazed down from above the city of Avashire as Gersius, Lilly, and Thayle stood revealed before the assembled mass of the people. They were in awe of Lilly in her dragon form, but as the minutes wore on, they relaxed. Gersius spoke to the crowd for a few minutes more and assured them Lilly was safe. Cautiously people began to approach and ask questions.
“What is your dragons name?” a woman called out to Gersius.
“My name is Lilly,” she...
2019-07-15 22:42:39 +0000 UTC View PostSooooo. I was reading through my notes and I discovered a half chapter I meant to use in book 1. It should have taken place on the road to Whiteford. It is a conversation where Lilly describes her dragon understanding of magic and tells Gersius about a dream world. I am going to post it here in it's raw unedited format. Nearly all of what Lilly talks about here is going to be important later in the books.
I would love to know if you think I need to find a way to put this bac...

Gersius stared at the canopy of the bed above him. Pressed against his cheek was the silky softness of Lilly's silvery-blue hair as she quietly slept nestled into his left side. To his right, the raven black hair of Thayle rose and fell with his breathing, her head resting on his chest. His right arm was curled around her, and he held her tightly to him.
There in the stillness of the night, he wondered about his life. Weeks ago he went into a valley in the midd...

Before they left Gersius requested a suit of armor to wear for the event. Lengwin was sure they had something in the armory that would fit him and would help convey the prestige of the Dragon Knight. Gersius made arrangements to return later, and they set off.
They made their way across the city to the far walls. Here the land rolled down in a gentle slope, and the houses were built in steps. The temple of Ulustrah was right outside the wall with a prominent positi...

Lilly landed in a copse of trees about an hour north of the city. There were nearby farms, and her presence sent a flock of sheep running.
Gersius and Thayle climbed down and began to pull the packs down from the saddle.
“Lilly?” Gersius said as he looked at the saddle. “Where are your coins?”
Lilly turned her long neck and looked at them both.
“I gave them to Balisha. She can absorb them for power, and she needed t...

Gersius sat quietly looking out over the lake as his thoughts were plagued by the image he had seen. He had never heard of a divine imparting so much information as he had just gotten to anyone before. It was as if Balisha was desperate to make him understand what had happened, and yet he had more questions.
He heard parts of the conversation between Lilly and Balisha. He heard Balisha answer some of her questions and refer to herself as I and then we. So was...

The sun was setting low on the horizon filling the sky with orange streaks. A breeze blew across the water, causing its surface to ripple and gentle waves to lap on the stony shore. In the distance were the giant red trees and the strange forest sprites hidden within. To the south was the river that drained from the lake and wound its way into the Silverwood.
Lilly had flown for hours circling the lake and sharing the gift of flight with her loved ones. She ...
2019-07-07 20:19:45 +0000 UTC View PostI am working on a new wordpress website as part of the $20 goal. I already created a paid account on royalroad and will work on the discord when the website is up and ready.
I registered the domain: Dragonknightprophecy.com a bit long but DKP.com was taken. So when I have wordpress figured out I will post the site links here. I need to finish this before we hit the $50 goal!

Dellain walked down the narrow hall with a brisk step. Mathius his first Lieutenant walked beside him lost in thought. Both men were in regular clothes and dressed comfortably but felt very naked without their armor. They made haste down the stone halls of the palace of Calathen their steps echoing the whole way. They had been summoned to a meeting by the Father Abbot himself.
Dellain glanced at the rugged man to his right. Mathias was a loyal man who alw...

Lilly stood in a vaulted room of white marble. It was round like the room she was just in and just as massive. However, the bare stone walls here were cracked and chipped. In places, whole sections had crumbled away, leaving jagged tears. She looked up to see the ceiling was a dome that was now shattered and broken. The sky above was a sickly orange with roiling black clouds.
On the floor all around her, was the remains of that once proud dome. Broken blocks ...

Thayle turned round and round as her eyes went wide with wonder. The landscape around her was lush and verdant. Tall trees towered overhead their branches stretching out impossibly far, choking out the sky that could only be seen in small gaps. Where it did gap the suns light came down in shimmering golden rays that seemed almost to dance in the air.
Beneath that canopy was another world. It was dominated by smaller trees with delicate trunks in varieties she ...
2019-06-29 14:31:53 +0000 UTC View PostSome very important things are said in this chapter. I would like to know if you feel it's missing anything. Astikar is being very cryptic for reasons not yet explained. There is so much more going on here that is yet to be revealed. So I worry some readers might come away feeling they didn't get what they wanted here. The wider mystery is hinted at when Astikar tells him he does not know the true face of his enemy.
Also do you think it would increase the tension to put a Tavis Ayawa ch...

The air was cool as it blew across his skin. There was an unusual sense of calm, a stillness that rivaled anything he had known. Gersius stood motionless, his eyes closed as he seemed to almost wake from a dream.
When he opened them, he was standing on a grassy hill. All around him as far as the eye could see was rolling hills broken by rocky outcroppings. In many ways, it resembled the hills just outside the temple, but there was a strange emptiness to it all. There...

The red trees faded away as they traveled along the shore of the lake. The land around them became steep hills broken by rocky outcroppings. They were sparsely grown with pines and tall mountain ash.
As they walked the mountains ahead grew larger standing out like a white palace on a backdrop of the gray overcast sky. The wind was a little stronger, and the water lapped on the shore, making a gentle sound.
All of them searched the land around th...

This question will have more weight when I have more patrons but I tend to write what I call throw away scenes. Where I indulge a flight of fancy for a few moments. These scenes will NEVER be used, mostly because they are adult in nature. However I wonder if they might make a fun patreon reward. One can reasonable assume that if you can afford to donate, your probably an adult. The scenes are 100% non cannon in most cases. They are practically fan fiction of my own wo...
