Realmgard Short Scenes

In addition to the ongoing series of full-length Realmgard stories, as writing practice for my own benefit to get a better grasp of my world and characters, I also regularly do 500-word short scenes.

On this page, you’ll find the scenes I’ve written between Fall 2021 and the time I started my Patreon page in Spring 2025. Please consider subscribing to the Emona Literary Services™ Patreon page for exclusive subscriber content including a new Realmgar short scene every week.

[FYI, those Patreon scenes will eventually become available to the general public and make their way over to realmgard.com]


Get to Know the Sisters Darkstone

Not for the first time in her life, Kat Darkstone wishes she were anywhere else — because, for the first time in her life, she finds herself trapped at the bi-weekly meeting of the Porthaven Literary Romance Aficionadas’ Circle.

So now Kat’s here, the very last place on Terrace she’d every want to be: on the deck of a pirate ship as the acting — and she can only hope, very, very temporary — captain of Dunstana’s crew.

“Stevens was saying that he read in a book that some philosophers say the world is being carried on the back of a giant cosmic turtle,” Jimena explains.

“I see,” Dunstana says thoughtfully, briefly pondering the logistics of giant space turtles.

“Jenkins says that couldn’t possibly be true,” Jimena continues. “On the grounds that while the world is standing on a turtle, the turtle itself isn’t standing on anything.”

“I, uh, I have no strong objections to being your sister.”
