Thunderwyrm I

Part I of Thunderwyrm Fiara and Maerk play at philosophy whilst courtiers seek Fiara for everything but her person; Twyner, Maerk, and the unspeaking indifference of the world seem her only respite, and the only source of anything good.

Thunderwyrm II

Part II of Thunderwyrm Fiara has to play all courtesies in a world that seems against her; the Archduchess and queen, her mother, seems just as involved in court politics as anyone else - romanticising a reality that strips her freedoms from the sanctuary of family outward.

Thunderwyrm III

Part III of Thunderwyrm Fiara's father has come home, and festivities are underway; yet something feels off. Everywhere she looks, Fiara seems to find she has all the important decisions made for her.

Thunderwyrm IV (1/2)

Part IV of Thunderwyrm Fiara is exposed to a horrific set of events, and choice, or at least the illusion of it, is forced onto her.

Thunderwyrm IV (2/2)

Part IV of Thunderwyrm Fiara is exposed to a horrific set of events, and choice, or at least the illusion of it, is forced onto her.

Thunderwyrm V

Part V of Thunderwyrm Fiara has begun to champion the responsibility demanded of her. Her court is mobile and does not get on. There are problems in her ranks. Nothing is certain as the world crumbles around her from friend to kingdom, despite her greatest effort.

Thunderwyrm VI

Part VI of Thunderwyrm Fiara's successes are short-lived. The more she sees of the world, the less it all makes sense. That which Fiara thought little more than speculation and philosophy is revealed in painful truth.

Thunderwyrm VII

Part VII of Thunderwyrm Fiara's sowing has been reaped in the bounty of life. Around her, the world seems one resolved; she does not feel anything close to it. She needs allies that will last, not the responsibility of a nation.
