Something old, but also new.

Just for fun, and since Amaranthine is winding down I've decided to post a few chapters from my original draft that ended up getting cut when I needed to shorten it way down. Some of you may not know, but my original manuscript was 170 000 words, and I cut it down to about 120 000. That's a lot of junk on the cutting room floor. Some of it was really good, and I liked it but it had to go for brevity sake. This is a first draft so don't expect it to be super polished but it does have a lot of character building that I would have liked to keep.

I've posted it in the Odds n' Ends section after the short story.


enjoy.
