Macbeth: A Fictional Narrative
“Just let the pheasants get bloody a bit.” “Golly, you get mouthy when you are away from home.” No she was nervous and wanted to run away. She was excited about winning Donovan.

Dump it out.” Tizbeth did as she was told. The elf that had held a knife to her throat came and picked up the food and the bits of magic she carried. “And you?” the second one directed Syd. She shrugged. “You are carrying nothing.” “I need no
