Pen y ffrwd – Some Thoughts

After I wrote what I thought was just going to be a very short story in the romantasy genre, Pen y ffrwd won't let me alone. First it mushroomed into two more instalments, and now, being of a scientific nature, I keep thinking about the relationship between the two worlds. I like a bit of magic and mystery, but I do like knowing how things work too.

A Pen y ffrwd Love Story Part Three

This is the third and (possibly) final instalment in the story. I wanted to see if I could write something in the 'romantasy' genre which I understand is all the rage now. But having created these characters I feel somewhat loathe to let them go. Cerian's about to embark on a whole new life and who know where it will take her ? Or maybe it's best if we just let her go and use our own imaginations...
