Fireside Tales

When we last saw martin, thole’s son he left us with the lines ‘The grief I keep within me, atleast until I can weave it into something else. And we now see in this story that he does.
This is a story about stories. The centaurs are having a story telling competition and Martin is participating. Where he meets Elaine again. The first story deals with lies and their cost. The second with truth and its cost. And the third is Martins., the third is about lies , truth and love woven by Martin.
We do not get to see who wins the competition but we do see a side of Elaine that we haven’t before.
The art is nowhere as good as peter gross’ but the writing. “It too is a lie. All stories are lies. But good stories are lies made of light and fire.” And Lucifer certainly qualifies for that
