Look below for an excerpt from my latest Work In Progress...

It's me, know far but not wide at the Author.
So... The title promises an adventure. A tale. My prologue. Just a warning, it isn't really that great of a prologue, so don't get too excited. I know I've been kind of bad at posting lately, but life has been busy, and full of great excuses NOT to post. :) So there is my excuse... Now, I'll bet you really want my prologue, don't you? Or... perhaps not. Either way, you're going to get it. So here it is:

Prologue
Unease in Aelsu

He was tall. He was dark. He was Auger Edmeire. He had come for Aelsu.
Leanne stepped out of the boat to the rocky beach to stand beside her husband. She smiled, her teeth flashing in the pale moonlight. “It is a fine place, my husband,” she murmured, “a fitting kingdom for you.”
Auger smiled. “And for you, my love,” he said.
Leanne nodded and turned back to the boat. “Aracora—bring your things. We're going now.”
A young woman took a sack of things from the boat and rolled her eyes, which shone blue in the moonlight. Her black hair was streaked with red, and her skin an attractive tan. She smiled. “We're coming, Aelsu. You better be ready.” Aracora threw her head back and laughed.
*****
Far across Aelsu, to deep in Lia Forest, an old woman awoke from her sleep. What is it? she asked God silently.
They are coming, Rayeh, His voice resonated deep within her.
Rayeh sat up. What can I do, my King?
Warn them. The Voice said, then it was gone. Rayeh frowned and stood. She packed quickly, then went out and saddled her horse. She mounted the horse and kicked it into a gallop. Maybe she would reach them in time. They'd stop the catastrophe that lurked.
Their troubles were only beginning.
