The Timeless Tides - Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1 Several inches of glimmering steel were pressed firmly against a young pirate's throat, and there was not but a stern cold look of displeasure etched into Captain Arcanus Memoria's face. As he emerged slowly from the shadows of his cabin door his boots clunked heavily upon the planks of the deck. The ship grew altogether silent, and each steady footstep closer seemed to pound in time with the anxiously beating hearts of the crew. Flickering flames of the deck lanterns were casting distorted shadows across the captain's face, twisting his handsome and youthful features into something dark and menacing. He resembled now something

The Timeless Tides - Prologue

PROLOGUE Clarity and familiarity were no more than a distant thought as Captain Morgan Thatcher sat in his solitude. Blackness and silence were all that seemed to exist in this place, robbing him of any sense of direction. The waters themselves had grown unsettlingly still, and doubt was beginning to creep into his mind. If only the mirth which surrounded the night air would roll back, he might then at least have some way of knowing if he had planned correctly. Hope was being swallowed by the darkness. Here there was no wind. He could count now only on the tides. With a compulsive hand, he reached and fumbled in the dark space at his feet

The Timeless Tides - Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2 As dawn's first light cut through the shroud of morning mist, The Devil's Cry had long since dropped anchor. As ordered, it lay barely within sight of a looming, murky, tree covered island. It took little to convince the crew that a four person shore party be all that need venture to the island's dark heart. To what point and purpose had they planned to go, the crew dared not to ask, though pitied looks told that few expected young master Flint to return. With one oar each, Arcanus, sitting aft and Raven at the bow, had rowed the small dinghy within a hundred yards of the island in record time. Already they were caught in the i

The Timeless Tides - Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 The captain's excited mood, which had been brought on at the mere mention of Morgan Thatcher and his treasure, had quickly melted into a sobering silence. Through a stiffening brow, his eyes seemed to grow as cloudy as the mist which still clung to the distant trees. To Flint, it seemed that the captain, though standing close, was now very far away. This was not the first time Flint had noticed that he seemed to drift, as if at times his mind was not entirely moored to this time and place. What he might give to know what stirred within the captain's head, to know what he was thinking about, and what it was that occasionally pull

My Bio

I am a self-taught, self-proclaimed artist, and hobbyist. I enjoy drawing, painting, even dabble a little in writing here and there. Everything I do is for my own entertainment and for fun. My work reflects my stories or stories that inspire me. Art for me, is about expressing myself, an outlet of emotion or thought.

I adore fantasy; Elves, Pirates, Wizards, and other creatures, which I am sure you'll soon realize.

This is who I am; escapist, paradise seeker. Farewell now time to fly out of sight, out of time, away from all lies.

Artifice is the true realism
Deceit lives in the flesh
And will not show its face to any man
But give us a mask
And we will tell you the truth
-- Emilie Autumn
