Kitten and Master an excerpt (from 2001)

"....The wind from the approaching storm whipped her hair about, the ends lashing quickly at her face before she could capture the wild tendrils with her hands and tie it back. The knight’s sword dropped, tip first into the damp sand and he leaned on it for support. Clearly relieved, his gaze followed the line of his sword into the sand.

“Thank the gods its only you.” He muttered." c2012 - Sierra Sugar

*actually this is part of a story that I started back in 2001 that I've been editing and adding to.  It's just a collection of excerpts and chapters that I hope to finish into a full story one day.
