The most Heroic
Quest of them all… seeking the
Next World from this One.
By David Edwards
Hero and Villain
By Harris Coverley
it is time to shout—
it is time to raise a sword—
it is time to march
into the bleaker regions
and fell that darkened tower
I can hear your shout
and I can hear your sword clink—
how silly it is
to think you can vanquish me!
this serpent’s tail awaits you
In the slipstream of twilight
a sailor adrift the silent seas
his eyes are set on muted lands
the imperceptible realm
behind the water’s skies.

Healing Flower
By K. A. Williams
“Here’s your brother’s sword.
Be careful around the elves,
they do not like us.”
I followed the path,
and met an elf warrior.
“A puny human.”
I said, “Let me pass!
I seek the healing flower,
my brother is sick.”
“I care not for him,
do not trespass on our land.”
I unsheathed my sword.
“You do show spirit.
Perhaps I have misjudged you,
proceed with your quest.”
I sheathed my sword then.
“I don’t suppose you could help?”
The elf pointed left.
“Thank you very much.”
There were a lot of flowers;
a white bunch stood out.
I knelt and grabbed one.
The elf nodded as I passed.
I hurried back home.
“I’ve got the flower!”
Mother prepared the potion;
my brother survived.
