I have been receiving a *lot* of anxious inquiries about the
continuation of Forging the Blade, and I had assured one and
all that yes, the story was in process, that I had written
several chapters, but that it was moving rather slowly. In
addition, I hadn't really settled on a title yet. As a
result, I had not planned on posting any part of this story
for several weeks.
But tonight, with the lists absolutely deadly quiet, and
with us all dealing with today's tragedy in our own way, I
thought posting a part of this story might help take a few
minds off of life's more dire possibilities, so I present
Chapter One of a story that is *tentatively* titled Kithe
and Kin. My gratitude goes to Cinel Durant, who found a
wonderful word in my search for an appropriate title. It is
defined as:
kithe \'kith\ vb kithed; kithing [ME kithen, fr. OE cythan,
fr. cuth] vt. chiefly Scot: to make known ~ vt. chiefly
Scot: to
become known.
The usual disclaimers apply. Not mine. No profit, etc.
Please note that this is a work in progress, and that there
may be edits to previously posted material. This chapter is
not yet available on my website.
Rating: PG13.
Summary: Connor has found Duncan, and many lessons are
taught, and many lessons are learned.
God Bless.
