Riverwind and the Crystal Staff by Michel Williams is a long form poem that attempts to convey the beauty of the Que-Shu land, but also the connection they share with the wild. Riverwind on his naming day is chilling with wild cats and birds of prey. The young unmarried women of the tribe are presented and Riverwind falls for Goldmoon, the chieftains daughter. He is sent on a quest destined to fail, and yet he survives. The entire time the wild is telling him to turn back, stop this foolish quest, but he persists. I thought it was an interesting narrative that confuses me at times, as I find it difficult to pull a straight narrative from a poem which is inherently more emotionally driven than factually. That being said, I think Michael Williams did a good job of framing Riverwind as a man of nature that was willing to suffer and even forsake nature for Goldmoon.

The Blood Sea Monster by Barbera Siegel and Scott Siegel is about a young elf who craves power and adventure. He stole a locket as a younger elf and was caught and exiled. Now a dark elf, he steals to live. He just stole  a loaf of bread and was hiding in a row boat as the story opens. He is caught by a grizzly old fisherman who is going out to catch the Blood Sea Monster. It took everyone he held dear, either directly or indirectly and now he is sure he will catch it. The elf asks to join him for a percentage of the catch, and they leave during a storm. They catch a talking fish who tells them where to look, the blood sea maelstrom itself,
