    About this ebook

    For centuries, mortals of the Three Reichs worked together with their Gods to form a world free from superstition and fear. An enlightened magical powerful world, moving confidently forward to a better tomorrow.

    That changed twenty years ago: when a bloody plague, that became known as The Red Death, tore through the Mid Reich killing half the population. Even more died in the Madness as the Gods turned their back on mortals leaving them to fend for themselves in a world suddenly made a much more dangerous place.

    In "Crossroads" we're introduced to a Sasha a young wild mage and her companions as they protect a lone Fey from both dangers both Mortal and Supernatural.

    In "Fairy Godsister" we see what happens when the Fey try to help mortal with real world problems.

    Sandy Addison

    I'm a 50 year old neurodiversified guy who had come to writing thanks to the websites deviantART and Smashwords, and the encouragement of some really good friends. I started posting adult stories under a pen name got some good feedback and kept writing because I firmly believe in the 10,000 hour theory and that ultimately writers write.After posting a couple of stories on deviantART I checked out Smashwords and seeing how easy it was to publish an eBook and all the different things people were trying I decided there really wasn't any excuse for me not to throw my hat into the ring.

      Author’s Note

      This is eBook contains two stories from the soon to be released collection Sellswords. While I am deliberately publishing this free eBook as a way to promote the larger collection up coming book, to be released in February of 2018. Both stories are complete and self contained. I hope the reader will enjoy the stories and that you’ll be curious about what happens to Sasha, Riley and Miri enough to check out the full collection when it is released.

      Crossroads

      The year that I was born the world started to die.

      Twenty years ago, the first appearance of the Red Death was recorded by a ranger tracking the Broken Fang tribe of Orcs, and twenty years ago, I was born. I’d like to think that both events were momentous; ones that the bards would sing about for ages. Sadly, only the Red Death will be recorded in song: there just aren’t enough bards around to compose songs about lone heroes anymore.

      Mind you there aren’t enough of anyone now a days. The Red Death took half the population in the five years it took to sweep across the Reich. The Madness did even worst damage over the next ten. Mortal beings have only been able to consider a future in the past few years.

      Of course, there are a lot of things out there that makes thinking about that future difficult for most mortals: cults, demonic and otherwise, Titan Spawn packs, wild undead, the Phoenix Republic, and just plain old fashion bandit/refugee bands. It’s enough to keep anyone’s gaze on the track just ahead of them and not bother with where the track is actually going.

      But some people are looking at where the track they’re on is going; and it’s those people that hire me and my partner.

      Why us? Well to answer that some introductions are needed. My name is Sasha Storm Crow. Six years ago, I was struck by lightning in the middle of the largest storm that had been seen around my village for decades. I survived the hit and (along with a set of really cool looking lightning scars running across my body) the bolt unlocked my latent magical ability and I became what in the old world, was termed a ‘Storm Powered’ wild magic mage. Since then, with the help of Riley and various other arcane types I’ve not only been able to control my magical powers but grown them as well.

      My partner, in more ways than one, goes by Miri. Officially she’s an Elf who rather than being a ‘longbow airy-fairy’ type of Elf, is an ‘in your face’ melee fighter with a longsword that’s as big as she is. Many question how such a petite ‘Elf maid’ could pick up such a big weapon, let alone wield it in combat. Those questions usually end when she takes the head of a rampaging zombie with one swipe or splits a skeleton in two like so much cord wood.

      Together we help smaller communities ‘handle’ some of their problems. Whether that’s boosting a town’s local militia as they clear out an ‘abandoned’ manor house, acting as caravan guards for the first merchants going through the mountain passes between the Southern and Northern parts of the Imperium after the spring thaw, or dealing with a Titan Spawn scouting pack before it tells the tribe that’s there’s easy picking this way.

      So far, these jobs have kept us in enough coin to keep us mostly fed and with a warm place to stay between jobs. We always have to keep moving though. We’re women of prime breeding age; and sooner or later, in every village or town we deal with, someone gets it in their heads that we should be spitting out babies. Whether we like the idea or not. Now both Miri and I can dissuade such people from acting on that idea, but usually not without knocking a few heads together and occasionally leaving a body in the street.

      Which is how we ended up heading west on an Old Imperial Highway in the twilight of a late Fall day; low on food, coin and (most importantly) luck.

      Today that bad luck translated into a steady downpour of cold rain. The magic that kept the Highway in good repair still held, so the flat surface stones were intact and clear of dirt and grass. Unfortunately, the spell that allowed this to happen had been designed in a dry warm climate. So, under the heavy cold rains of the Northern Imperium, the paved road became so slick that our horses were having difficulty keeping their feet. Our only recourse was to dismount and lead them. Fortunately, Riley loved the rain so he was flying above us, his eyes sharp for trouble. So, when
