The not-immortal Blacksmith - Interlude - Queen Yuri (F you brother dear! (He made me write this one.))
--Excerpts from Queen Yuri's diary pertaining to "the Blacksmith"--
My husband has abdicated the thrown to our son! Happy retirement! My son is now king! No worries now about the succession.
*-*-*
I saw the Heathen blacksmith in town today. How is he still alive? I was sure the goddess would have killed him by now.
*-*-*
I saw him again today. I directed the spymaster to have someone find him. The blasted man disappeared. No one can seem to find him.
*-*-*
At tonight's midsummer ball I saw the most exquisite gown! Lady Chastity's husband looked truly gorgeous as well. Apparently the newly promoted head tailor at the Gwenneth Mercantile house is a marvel, perfect to work with and not free with his hands at all! I assumed he just doesn't like women, but Lord Chastity claimed he was the same way with him. Very interesting. Maybe he is what we used to call an 'Ace' back on earth?
*-*-*
It's him! The heretic blacksmith is a tailor now!! I cannot believe it! My fitting is in 2 days. Who in this world can do a gown in 2 days?!?
*-*-*
My fitting was today. It was perfect. I truly cannot believe what this man can do. The Goddess really did bless him. Why does he refuse to help her?
I spoke to him at length about it today. He did not take it well. He called the Goddess and I "Idiots"! Then when the Goddess showed her displeasure over that, he yelled at her out the window! The nerve of the man! I will send the guard to fetch him in a few days. He can answer to my son for his unkind words.

*-*-*
He is gone. He apparently resigned the day after my fitting. On the other hand, he did leave several dozen new and easily altered patters for the Gwenneth Mercantile house as a parting gift. They will be making money hand over fist for decades on those patterns alone. He also left a bevy of excellently trained apprentices in his wake.
I am somewhat saddened that I will never see that heretic again.

The Destiny Detour
In a kingdom putting together the pieces after a series of devastating magical wars, trouble is brewing. At least that's what the Seer's vague warning to Princess Lillya claims. That warning sends young Sorceress Rosaliy and enigmatic ruffian Drake from one end of the world to the other searching for answers (and lost magical children). The Destiny Detour is third in the Black Pearl Series, but the events of this story occur 10 years after the first two, and it focuses on different characters in the world. It should be able to stand alone. If you are interested, the beginning of the series is available on Amazon and most e-book places: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01AYLLKK8
