Chapter 1
Read Chapter 1
He had stayed o'er long and so would always mourn; leaving the isle of the ever-young.
But there was no future in that land for him; for a mortal in an immortal land.
The stern bows beneath the waves.
Swift, threatening, a warning thrown up to warn him well what would happen should he dare try to return to that fair isle.
He sails home, to hearth, and kin, to dark unknown, to spin tales of lands and people long forgotten. Of friends lost beneath darkening skies.
Of a world that is little more than myth and legend...

I liked this, Aria--the pervasive but subtle sadness and the abruptness of "Swift, threatening, a warning thrown," which very much sounds to me like the sudden splash of a wave against a ship's keel. And, of course, the tales he would go on to spin suggest a thousand plotbunnies to me! :)

I really like this; it has a very authentic, Anglo-Saxon feel to it. Lovely :)
