Ma/Fa Stories

A story in the Mage and Magic Universe
Tom Palance's life was in the gutter. He'd walked out on his bitch of a wife. At work, he got scammed and the boss had fired him. While staying at his brother's house and borrowing his sister-in-law's car, he'd dented the roof. Now staying at a hotel, he looked at the total "suck" that his life had become, and then, something changed. For the better? Time would tell. COMPLETELY GRAMMAR CHECKED. / (Reviews)

I wrote this story a couple of weeks ago for Legends Day on that other site. I got a lot of e-mails about people who were put off by the Original title. It was originally called the BBC

I was the son of a farmer and have used a bow since I was a child. With nothing to keep me on the farm I made the walk to join the king's army. When I showed how good I was the sergeant took me to the elves. On a bet I shot against the leader of the elven archers and won two things. A new elven bow and a place with them. I also ended up with a mate and my new life started by fighting raiders and then mercenaries that would attack the king.
