I thought it was high time that I formally introduced you to all of the members of my strange gathering of beings that make up The Circle. Say hi everyone!
![]()
Here's a little bit of hopefully excruciatingly tantalising information about each of them-
![]()
Longbeard
Longbeard was once a great and powerful Wizard who ruled over a great stretch of the Realms of Faerie with pride, coldness and oppression. He is no longer that Wizard. Not even close. He wishes he was though, desperately. He'll do a lot of things to retain that status. A LOT! He's not a very nice person.

Alanna
Mystery is what Alanna is all about. Mystery, secrecy and destiny. She tries to run from a life she has no chance of ever escaping. And though her path will lead her on her own circle, returning her to where she began, it is that journey that will make her truly whole. Also, she's bloody good with knives in combat.

Wildling
Wildling is the runt of a litter of Werewolves. Lost in a land where monsters freely roam and hunters stalk for prey just like him, survival is Wildling's only goal. And that sometimes doesn't seem very important either. But though he may be the runt of his litter, he is exceedingly dangerous in his pure beast form.

Dryad
A real walking and talking nature spirit. Dryad is the beauty of the forest personified. And with that, she has the power of nature to utilise when needed. She can call the very trees and animals to action, and her ability to heal things is a very valuable skill for a group such as this.

Strongbow
Strongbow is exactly the type of person that parents don't want their daughter to ever get involved with. Never ever ever! He is crude, brazen, stubborn, prone to fighting, probably an alcoholic and definitely sexist. But the thing is, women adore him, all the same. He's an expert with a bow, and can seduce a woman with a wink.

Hedgewitch
Hedgewitch is a nature witch, specialising in herb lore and physically violent spells. She creates an array of hex bags infused with power words resulting in various effects, usually explosive in one way or another. She has a familiar and lives in a cabin deep in a forest. She's not fond of people. Especially men.
As it stands, I should have Strongbow's first story completed in the next week. Then I will be taking most of July off to concentrate on the Galway Pub Scrawl 31 Day Drawing Challenge. I've missed it the last couple of years and I really want to give it a red hot go this time. Then In August, Wildling will be making his debut, followed by Hedgewitch and then, lastly, Longbeard. Then it will be back to the start with another Alanna story and so on later in the year.
You'll be here for it all, won't you?
