Weekend Warrior Writing, High Haven



 This is my first *Weekend Writing Warriors*  entry! My snippet comes from a high fantasy romance, High Haven  (none of the characters are all human!). Follow the link to other great snippets!


There was still a bit of dim light left by the setting sun. Two males stepped out of the shadow of the woods.

    They were fauns of a type Bluette didn’t even know existed. Instead of curved horns and rough goat legs they had branched antlers, like a deer, and long smooth brown legs, their shoulders broad under leather tunics. Both had beautifully formed faces with high cheek bones and square jaws, discernible even from the distance.

    “Ho, Mallow,” one called across the meadow, while the other greeted Mallow's fierce sow with strokes and ear scratches.

    “Ash and Linden! What brings you here?”

  10. Thanks for all the comments. This story (one of a series) has been sitting on my hard drive but comes to mind now and then. I always wondered if it was too far out there. I love the world and the characters. Like Narnia for grown ups.
