Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky…

'The Lord of the Rings'
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
   One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
   One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
Handwritten by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Ring-verse handwritten by J.R.R. Tolkien. Provenance unknown.

…And three weeks of June writing completed by yours truly.

“BLAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH!”

Katalina Darkstone, captain of the Bradamante, feels the sweat beading on her brow. As a freelance courier, she’s been stuck in some dire situations all across the galaxy. But this – this – is one of the toughest spots the young pilot has found herself in.

Due to a recent major increase in criminal activity in Porthaven’s Dock District, the mercenary company of Boss Virrad and Company has been hired to lead the city’s response and put to rest the concerns and unsubtle public pitchfork-sharpenings of the Porthaven Dockside Business Owners’ Association, the Porthaven Friends of Not Performing Criminal Activities, and the Porthaven Light Opera Society who has moved into one of the warehouses as their rehearsal space.

“I hate this infernal day,” Ammianus mutters.

“Why, Daddy, is that because it’s also the anniversary o’ that fateful day Great-Uncle Horace done drownded in the crick? And ever since, his very own unquiet shade has been glimpse wanderin’ the banks o’ the crick and heard to remark in a ghostly wail Now where did my durn mule run off to?
