“Ha, is this Boudwin the philosopher? I prefer Boudwin the warrior.” Great line! A moment of mirth on the way to war.

I love your fantasy stories! What a well-written and exciting tale, Brian. I didn’t see the ending coming at all, but I like how everything concludes. Like others have said, the last line is perfect! Thanks so much for sharing.

"“We’ve all read The Laments and have seen the illustrations. I suspect it’s not much different than the monstrosity we were taught to fear as children,” Emmerich said. This is where it got really good for me. Great foreshadowing for some kind of reveal. Not what I expected it to be in the end, but that's even better!

Great story. Awesome last line. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wonderful tale as told...took me back, right there and then to the Middle Ages, to fight for justice and peace. Thank you for writing it. Rudolph Ferro rferro0322@gmail.com

I keep telling myself it's all an illusion, but the dragon keeps appearing when I least expect it.
