Love this first chapter and hope there are many more in this saga. The love between man and dwarven maid is an interesting touch and there will hopefully be more on the subject. The history of the black swords would be good to hear about. Thank you for this story and its' bearded maiden five stars
Nice story about the swords,makes me remember the nazguls from lotr. Although I hope there's other women involved in the later chapters...not so into the dwarven thing. Still,its really good all in all
Drug isn't the past tense of drag, you turned stare into star, starring is what movie stars do, a few other mistakes. But overall, a good effort.
That one is a matter of my accent. Where I'm from it is used that way. Believe me it can get a lot worse. I grew up using words like Yohnto...chuur...yhhap..and cheehr to sound them out the way that they sound when spoken. They would be ( you want to) (sure) (Yep) and (right here) if wrote out the right way.
It is almost as much a different sounding language as the way British English sounds to an American ear.
Yet for me it's the way everyone talks. I don't hear my accent. I also don't see it when I write.
Thanks for the comments

To hell with the blithering fill-in-the-blanks whining about proper spelling and syntax; the point of language is to get the message across, which you have done admirably. I want to read more of this!
This is part of a very old idea I had. I have notes going back about twenty years for story idea. Different swords, different heroes or...villeins in some cases. Should have about three more up before the end of the year. Glad your enjoying them.
Moorcock wrote about the Chronicles of the Black Sword back in the sixties. Try reading Stormbringer and the other Elric stories - no sex in them but much better stories than this.
I guess this must be some of the dark things that get dredged up from time to time when someone scours their imagination. I like it. Very powerful, and as always. You display emotion well. Interesting choice to have a dwarf woman. I like it, new and novel.
Sincerely, Payenbrant
Lord of the Rings eat your heart out!
I thoroughly enjoyed this - would like to see more of it
There could be some interesting adventures with these two unlikely allies
Good story
