__Spoiler__(From Dragonlance Books)

Well Kitiara, I thought this would be a great excerpt, since we sort of know each other through fantasy.

From Dragons of Winter Night:

Laurana knelt beside the knight. Putting her hand out, she brushed back the wind-blown hair to look once more upon the face of her friend. For the first time since she had met him, Laurana saw peace in Sturm's lifeless eyes.
Lifting his cold hand, she pressed it to her cheek. "Sleep dear friend,"she murmured, "and let not your sleep be troubled by dragons." Then as she lay the cold white hand upon the shattered armor, she saw a bright sparkle in the blood she could not see what it was. Carefully Laurana brushed the snow and blood away. It was a piece of jewelry. Laurana stared at it in astonishment.
But before she could wonder how it came to be here, a dark shadow fell over her. Laurana heard the creak of huge wings, the intake of breath into a gigantic body. Fearfully she leaped to her feet and whirled around.
A blue dragon landed upon the wall behind her. Stone gavy way as the great claws scaveled for a hold. The creature's great wings beat the air. From the saddle up the dragon's back, a Dragon Highlord gazed at Laurana with cold, stern eyes from behind the hideous mask.
Laurana took a step backwards as the dragonfear overcame her. The dragonlance slipped from her nervous hand, and she dropped the jewel into the snow. Turning, she tried to flee, but she could not see where she was going. She slipped and fell into the snow to lie trembling beside Sturm's body.

"Touch his body, and you will die," Laurana said softly. "Your dragon will not be able to save you. This knight was my friend, and I will not let his killer defile his body."
"I have no intention of defiling the body", the Dragon Highlord said. Moving with elaborate slowness, the Highlord reached down and gently shut the knight's eyes, which were fixed upon the sun he would see no more.
The Dragon Highlord stoop up, facing the elfmaid who knelt in the snow, and removed the booted foot from the dragonlance. "You see, he was my friend, too. I knew--the moment I killed him."
Laurana stared up at the Highlord. "I don't believe you," she said tiredly. "How could that be?"
Calmly, the Dragon Highlord removed the hideous horned dragonmask. "I think you might have heard of me, Lauralanthalasa. That is your name, isn't it?"
The Dragon Highlord smiled, a charming, crooked smile.
"And my name is--"
"Kitiara."

I am sorry for that being so lenghty, but I love the whole setup for the scene.

*misty-eyed*

Thanks Laurana! Damn, I'm gonna have to go dig out my Chronicles now.

*heads off to search the bookcases*

 

Just a small point - at the end of the third paragraph, I hope that that is meant to be 'fell into the snow. Overwise, it sort of spoils the image for me.

 

Rofl, ok, I admit, I'm a little weary this morning, and my transcription needs some work. Yes it is snow. Not snot. lol.

 

I thought it added a little something to the story!

 

Have any of you read the new one... Called Dragons of Summer flame...(i think)

Is the conclusion to those books.

And laurana that was a great idea ! Although i am not completely evil...LOL

 

If I didn't hate dealing with Amazon, and the shipping, and the time it takes to recieve items, I would buy half of those books. But I'll still support the site nonetheless and order just one. Though I hate amazon, I love this site. =)

 

Well to go back to the subject, I started a new game (4 the second time) and I am a female (but only in the game, coz i always see what it is like both ways) and personaly I think that Anomen is kinda like the guy from the fast show, the one who thinks everything is like making love to a beautiful women (it's the voice and face that makes it seem like it) I con't know about n e 1 else, or for the matter of fact whether u know what the fast show is, but it does remind me of him.

 

Re slappy's post
I went right through with no romance, but romantic type talk happened fairly quickly on my second time through ( as a bloody longlimb - human. Maybe the problem was timing (I rushed of to Spellhold very quickly - I'll have to try again when I have time), or maybe it's just the beard and bad temper - sigh - gold and ale never complain.

I bet Drizzt kicks Sturm's ass anytime of the day. So would Artemis Entreri.

 

Since Sturm's dead that would be rather easy. I didn't know that Drizzt was in to that kind of stuff though.
