Stowynne Seamel



Youth and the relatively sheltered position of a youngest daughter have left the book of Stowynne's life mainly unwritten until this time.

However, the title page of that volume may very reasonably give some mention to still waters running deep and fierce.

She is the daughter whose frequent absences from the more feminine activities of her station could be easily over looked because of her favored status as youngest and her almost immediate obedience in all other matters.

The little girl gravely asking the Bards for another tale of Knights who turned into the young woman still asking for the same stories.

The child waving around around a broomstick in secret with a bucket helmet on her head who graduated to the woman with the wooden blade and the rusted but real thing instead.

The self-posessed young lady who demurely stated her opinion that her marriage to Rodger might not be fair to dear Rodger and who, when ignored, simply disappeared the next day.
