| Aafrem05-15-04, 11:36 AM | Does anyone recognize this as something from a piece of fan fiction or short story or some such thing? (copied post from teacher forum) "'... a pair of mated black dragons ravaged the countryside to crate new territory for their maturing brood.' OR '...slay a green dragon that bedeviled travelers to their forest city.' OR my FAVORITE '...the elven wizards had expected fire arrows- ALBEIT, a considerably smaller version.'" One of the main characters is Kethryllia Amarillis, who I know is an FR character. Thanks. Oh, and if it happens to be from an FR novel, you can e-mail me your response at ejtoth@comcast.net.

And please don't refer to it as the N word, it belittles the history of THAT word as well. One is despicable, the other is not. Wish I could place those sentences for you, unfortunately while the first one sounds familiar I can't place it. |
