Newbie fantasy author here :)
Hello everyone!
Recently, I decided to stop putting my texts in a drawer to collect dust and spiders, and I uploaded one of them to Amazon Kindle. It is also available on Kindle Unlimited, so I encourage all light fantasy fans to give it a shot.
Story title : The Alchemist's Legacy: A Tale of Chaos, Magic, and a Chicken
I am posting a short fragment below. If style is something you like, maybe this story is for you!
– It’s not a bill, Master! – Kark squeaked, holding up the parchment like a shield. – It’s a message from Prince Noran!
Droven froze mid-motion. The wand twitched in his hand. – Oh, for all the snarky spirits of ancient mages… – he muttered. – What does that pompous aristocrat want now?
Kark cleared his throat and read the message in a tone that sounded like a poor imitation of a regal herald: – "Dear Master Droven, great alchemist and inventor whose genius knows no bounds…” (Droven rolled his eyes). “I hereby inform you that a representative of my guard will soon arrive to collect the ordered battle artifacts. I remind you that your tower and experiments are funded by my generosity and patience, which—as you are surely aware—has its limits. Do not fail me again.”
Droven collapsed heavily onto a wooden stool, covering his face with his hand. – Battle artifacts… battle artifacts…! Kark, do I look like a craftsman? Does my tower resemble a market stall for magical trinkets for soldiers?!
– Well… kind of – Kark squeaked, quickly clamping his hands over his mouth.
