When We Come to It

Ten years of hopeless war. Ten years, fighting for a mad king. Filya wants nothing more than desertion and escape. Unfortunately, he travels with honorable Sir Pyotr.

On a scouting mission, Sir Pyotr battles a magical bridge guardian. Filya sees his chance to escape. Only one problem — he'd abandon Sir Pyotr to capture and death.

Unless Filya can find a way to save them both...

When We Come to It, a fantasy adventure short story with knights and magic, and something more important than friendship. From Stefon Mears, author of Half a Wizard and With a Broken Sword.
