Peasant (Here There Be Dragons) by Vic Winter

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Toma and Nuk are two young boy in a medieval village. Almost twenty, they are grown together and at one point their child games turned into sex games: they kiss and rub, still like two child who fight in the ground. They don't know that there is more, that they could do other... And then they find a dead knight and a dragon's egg near him. The little dragon who exits from the egg chooses Toma as companion and Toma suddenly is responsable of a little life.

This is a very short story but fortunately Vic Winter has just written the second part, Here There Be Dragons 2: Squire. I think that the setting is pretty realistic (if you could define realistic a story with a dragon...), and from the beginning I have had the feeling to read an Arthurian Cicly type of story. I have had previously the opportunity to read something setting in a fantasy world by Vic Winter (in the Winter Garden Anthology), and I have to say that Vic Winter has a fairy touch in his writing. I'm waiting to read more.
