"We'll sleep now," I said as Celeste snuggled close to my body, "And leave tomorrow morning."
She nodded against my neck and I allowed the fire to dim, bathing our prone forms in soft light as we both drifted off to sleep.
It was be the beginning of an adventure which saw much loss, great gain. As I slept that first night, I was blissfully unaware of what waited for me in Hester Roc, and how much it would shape the future. For better. And for much, much worse...

I meant 'branded' as in 'labeled' rather than actually branded like cattle. Maybe a weird choice of words.
They would be 'identified' as dark mages and spot executed.
Kind of a judge, jury, and executioner set - up. Ever see Judge Dredd? : )more...
Great start.
I enjoyed the start of the story, but I'm confused about one point. Why is a dark mage branded and then spot executed. Why not execute him in the first place and forget the branding ? Why release him to just execute him as soon as they spot him again?more...
Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words and support.
Second chapter is already up and third chapter is submitted. I'm going to do short, bite sized chapters to get the story going and possibly longer ones as it does. Chapter Four is already shaping up to be at least 3 or 4 (lit) pages long.more...
Continue?
I'd love to see how you continue this story. So far it's a great tease of a start.
I won't ask you to take it any particular direction as I would much rather see where you go on your own :)
