The following is a teaser for the next episode of the Misbegotten Son Saga, Matters of Fate Part 2. It is written as a series of screenshots and dialogue, one scene cutting to another. Enjoy!!

        Goliath jumps down into the courtyard of an unknown ruined castle. The courtyard is covered with pieces of shattered garogoyles. He looks around at the destruction and his eyes fill with sorrow.

        "Just like the slaughter of my own clan," the leader says sadly.

        Thailog stands before the garogoyle clan of Kala Neimi. They look at him with wondering eyes. One asks, "What is his name?"

        "I am Thailog."

        Angela and Demona are talking.

        Demona says, "Goliath has abandoned you. Just as he abandoned our clan a thousand years ago!"

        Angela turns away from her mother. Tears fill the young gargess’ eyes.

        "No!" Angela says, shaking her head. "No! I don’t believe it!"

        Demona reaches out to Angela and puts one talon on her shoulder. "Then why do you doubt it, my daughter?"

        Thailog’s carved image appears on a wall. The wall is covered with carvings. Goliath looks at the image of his misbegotten son pensively when the shadow of another garogoyle falls on the wall. Goliath looks in the direction of the figure and sees a golden garogoyle.

        "I am Titan," the golden gargoyle introduces himself.

        Thailog is grabbing hold of a female gargoyle’s wrists. She is strugging to free herself from Thailog’s grasp.

        "Stop struggling!" Thailog commands. "I won’t hurt you! I could never hurt you, little one!" On speaking these last words, Thailog’s voice softens to almost a whisper. She looks up into his red eyes. Thailog’s eyes, which have been so brutal for all of his young life, appear to be softened with concern and love for her. She believes his sincerity. Exhausted, she collapses in Thailog’s strong arms.

        The dark garogoyle holds her tightly, wrapping his wings around her. In the arms of this stranger, she sleeps.

        The three weird sisters stand before Thailog. The children begin to glow with an awesome inner light.

        "You cannot escape your destiny, dark one." The blonde child warns.

        The light of the weird sisters, builds to a blinding radiance. Thailog covers his eyes---

I hope to have Part 2 out in August. Till then---Jenna
