Tornhunder! Shadows of the Past, Part 10!
We're live, it's up! I'm using too many exclamation marks! Part 10 (and I'm still weirded out by the fact my little story has so many parts) is up and published on Wattpad. You can find it here: Tornhunder! ! The Tornhunder are faerie monsters, a mixture of hounds and thorny vegetation created by the Fae in one of their more sadistic moments (that's not actually saying much - the Fae in this series are extremely sadistic and alien, even the Changelings don't really think like humans). They're a pivotal part of Elna's story, as she was wounded by one as a child. While she doesn't remember them per se, they haunt her dreams - always hunting for her in the village she lived in as a child. This is her unhealed wound, something that marks her as much as the scar on her face. When I first created them, I hadn't realised the idea had been used in other places - I've always had a fascination with mammal/plant hybrids and think they're cool.
