Join Pryllan and Steve on the annual wyverian hunt for the great serpent!
A wager has been cast. Are there advantages for dragons carrying riders? Do two minds work better than one? That’s the question Steve and Pryllan set out to answer as they are tested at the Hunt, an annual ceremony where only the gifted and most skilled wyverians seek out the oskorlisk, the great serpent of the eastern sea. Can dragon and rider find one of these serpents and get their trophy before anyone else? Will they be able to pave the way for the return of the dragon riders?
This 8,400+ word adventure story addresses one of the oldest questions out there: are two better than one? Will the dragon riders rise again?

I have bee trying to find the short story "The Hunt for Red Oskorlisk (Tales of Lentari short story) for months now. The google search for this title leads me here but it's not posted.
If this was removed after the author died, can anyone tell me where I can purchase a prinnted copy of it?
Writers usually post stories or chapters from their books here… I do. I went to your website and found the blurb on the story, but no way to read it. So all I can assume is you are merely advertising your work.
Fantasy stories like this generally only work if they portray human conditions in a way that is captivating and memorable. There is no way of knowing if you are pulling that off or not without reading your work.
Second in The Chronicles of Illúmaril series, author Gary Caplan's The Return of the Ancient Ones is a distinct tale that illustrates how one's fiercest enemy can become one's most aggressive ally.
