December 2020 Element Suggestions: Gift(s) - figured since December is Christmas A calling - literal someone calling, a desire or an occupation Circles - be it visually, mentally, a landscape form ... whatever A tiny bird Expectations Recap Cliffnotes for YEARS of story writing is here: http://www.tawmis.com/stonehowl/stonehowlrecap.html Rumdreer, a vicious human known to Buren, spoke of legends of his brutality, his callous, his viciousness, and his thrill for watching things die – slowly. He’d come from a clan known for their war like attitude, called The Bloodtide. But even among the most vicious and cruel of their lots, which included male and female, murderers, rapists, and other deviant behavior, Rumdreer’s name was the only one whispered in awe among his own tribe. The thousands of scars that decorated his body, his face, his arms and his legs, spoke of multiple assassination attempts on his life – all of them a symbol for someone who he’d killed for failure. He believed that it was his calling to cleanse the world of false worship and demons – and the trail of bodies and blood that seeped into the ground due to his murderous spree, seemed to be indicate there was no one that was going to stop him. Windfetcher had come down from a tree to stand next to her tribe, and growled, “You threaten my tribe.” “You?” he laughed, “You are their leader? A woman?” Despite having females in Rumdreer’s group with him; and despite being equally powerful and brutal as warriors, women in Rumdreer’s mind would never be in a place of leadership – and those women who followed accepted this. “This just keeps getting better and better,” he laughed. He turned again to Buren, “Your idiocy exceeds even my expectations.” Rumdreer looked over the elves standing before him, as they had all climb down or jumped down from the surrounding trees. “I thought all of you rode on the backs of wolves, not climbed trees like monkeys.” Vineweaver smiled. “We all do ride on the back of wolves.” The wolves howled all around Rumdreer and his men. Eyes that were tiny, yellow, flickering circles, were reflected from the torches, held by Rumdreer’s followers. Rumdreer smiled. “Good. Let’s get this over with.” Rumdreer gave a signal and arrows from two women launched; the feathers of a tiny bird were soft, as they passed through their fingers towards their target. One struck Stream, the other struck Buren; as both fell to their knees, Rumdreer threw his axe at the child – and was shocked to see it stop just before hitting him – stopped, inexplicably – floating – Stonecutter, holding out his hand as if an invisible hand extended from his and gripped Rumdreer’s axe in mid-air. Even the elves of Stonehowl were shocked; they’d all wondered, being a half breed, if Stonecutter would have any ‘gifts’ of magic – and it would seem he had. Windfetcher helped Stream and Buren back to their feet. “By the sounds of what you’ve said – and, let me say you talk too much – the ones you murdered were afraid of you. We’re not. We’ve spent years of our lives dealing with humans who were born of hatred for our kind. We will not run. We will not flee. We will stand. We will fight. We will defend our home. And if we need to, we will kill you.” With a gesture of his hand, Stonecutter sent Rumdreer’s axe flying back at him – which he barely avoided.
