Interest piqued, Talander listened carefully to the answers given around the room by the host of minor and major wizards. While the spell Albain needed was remarkably similar to his own current work, Talander had yet to add an opinion. Morhan frowned considering the polled results. Not one answer heard made young King Shalain’s relationship with a dragon woman plausible.

Interesting,Patrick. It’s better to first introduce readers a line or two about the story so we can understand what’s going on. Well written. Good eight.
Perhaps you are right —next time I will add a little introduction. Thank you!
Intro or not, this snippet does paint a picture of the scene and the current problem facing the characters. Nice selection!
I enjoyed your explanation of the difficulties they face. I was intrigued by the idea that the king might or should be involved with a dragon woman. I enjoyed your 8.
A dragon woman, interesting. I agree with Sarah, I can see the scene. Well done.
Enjoyed this, liked the idea of a room full of mages trying to solve such an issue! Terrific snippet!
I also liked that you pointed out that not all had commented yet but that some was beginning to fit. The king is wise to seek the opinions of others.
