Knighting the Queen's Pawn

Summary:

A fiend's-eye-view of a good-girl warlock

Notes:

This companion work to "Larkspur Charm" started out as a writing exercise.  I wanted to pull back the Eraditz curtain to understand his evolving views on Elira and the way their story was unfolding, so figured I'd jot down a quick paragraph for each chapter. Of course, Eraditz had a lot more to say than I expected, and I had so much fun writing him that I rarely bothered to interrupt him.

There's not much description or dialogue in his version. It's basically just a snarky stream of consciousness.  Enjoy!

NOTE: Since my goal was to explore Eraditz's opinion of Elira, the two chapters before she enters his story are pretty short. From that point on, each chapter title sums up what he thinks about her at that point in their narrative.
