zlib_text: Stone Lord
  A short story in the Night Warriors series
  By Brenna Lyons
  Note: The muse loves games of ‘what if.’ In this case, the game went something like... We know
  that the Stone’s plans are capable of going awry. We know the young Stone lord is typically in his
  twenties, thirties, or even forties, when the previous one dies, leaving the younger lord to the Stone.
  So, what would happen if the Stone’s timeline for succession to the Stone was fouled, and the
  young Stone lord was a child, when his predecessor died? Would the Stone be lost to them, until the
  new lord was cursed? Would a child hold the Stone? As it turned out, the Stone gave me the story of a
  young Stone lord from an earlier Beast War, in just such a situation. The answer was...neither of the
  above...
  Happy reading!
