A tender of war-bulls, shaved-headed and fearless.
A hard-won victory, with many dead on both sides.
A slight and subtle demon, child of blasphemy, craving mischief.
A court dandy, casually cruel, exiled from the presence of the prince for a petty slight.
A monstrous saurian, white belly raking the brush while its serrated back-bone rises higher than a man can reach, one of many in the forest, too large to kill and determined to feast.
