Randomly occured to me. Probably will become a full fledged story, someday. We shall see.



Hollowick was going to kill the unicorn. Not that the wizard did not deserve murder, as well, but the unicorn always seemed to be the one to start the game from sheer boredom.

He did not even particularly care that he would then be killed himself, for slaughtering a Grade Five familiar. If the damned thing did not shut up, he was going to kill it and use its horn for a new wand.

Or maybe just shove it up the ass of the wizard letting his unicorn get away with such stupid, tasteless things.

Twitching with an urge to murder, hoping they would shut up soon so he would not have to explain why he could hear them as well as they could hear each other, Hollowick focused on the book he had brough to read while the King's speech droned on and on. He would screamed at for it later, but too bad. One more hour, he reminded himself, one more hour and then he could go find a pillow and smother himself and be spared the hanging that would come with killing a unicorn.

Perhaps the prime minister of Balis? the unicorn asked. As stuffy as he is, I bet he completely lets go in the bedroom. I say a four, easy.

I doubt it.
replied Prince Fenwick, the wizard who own the damned unicorn Hollowick was going to murder. He's probably boring as toast. Not more than a two.

Hmm. What about the Kalaba chit? She's pretty enough, and more than a little endowed, eh? Six.

Oh, yes, and a bossy little temper to match. Three.

All right, then how about the Princess of Marra? You cannot get any finer that that. Seven, absolutely.


Hollowick really hoped the dumbass attempted to seduce his sister, if that was the ultimate point of their asinine game. Nothing would amuse him more than to see them learn the hard way why she required no wizardly escort. No magic in the world stood a chance against her right hook. Eighteen wizards, five princes, two princessess, and an assortment of nobles could all testify to that. Let them try! It would be even sweeter than causing their deaths.

Oh, she is quite the beauty, I give you that. But violent in the extreme, and unless one is into such things....that would drop her to a four, I say.

I suppose you have a point. What about her brother there, eh? I would definitely put him at--

If you even
attempt to finish that thought, either one of you, Hollowick thought savagely to them both I will cut off bits that will render this entire converstaion completely academic for you.

The thunderous silence that followed his statement was the most wonderful thing he had heard all day. Feeling decidely cheered, Hollowick focused upon his book and ignored the looks he could feel from Prince Fenwick and his silver-white unicorn.

HAHAHAHAHA! Oh god, the unicorn and the Prince rating the various people in the court is priceless. I really do hope you continue this one, because I would love to see what the Prince and the unicorn think of Hollowick being able to hear them.

Sleepy. He was even quiet the entire trip home, for once. I think he is tuckered out from his play date. ^__^

Dude, and I would totally be willing to be bribed with more of this. On an unrelated note, I am being nibbled at by a brand new spinoff project for my witch verse (about as far from snakes as I can get). ^__^;;

Heh. duly noted. Will write unicorns for snakes.

Oh, but that sounds fun ^__^ What is spin off?

With pink sparkles and everything.

Yeah, the magic in the 'verse takes care of that. ^__^ Nymphs can't be anything but pretty; their magic doesn't let them. So if they break their nose? It doesn't come out crooked.

He shaves his head, but his hair grows back too quickly. I think he's accidentally and against his will going to end up with the coffee barrister. ^__^ That's about all I've figured out so far.

i'm vastly amused by prince fenwick and his unicorn and their ratings of the various nobles. and poor hollowick. loves it! :D

i'm seriously intrigued by this. i'm wondering why hollowick can hear them so clearly, when it's obvious he shouldn't be able to. and is it just those two, or can he hear any wizard/familiar pair?

definitely hoping this eventually gets expanded X3

Oh, this definitely has promise. I can just imagine the prince's and unicorn's faces when they find out they can be overheard! XD

No magic in the world stood a chance against her right hook.

And I do so like women who aren't afraid to use force in order to remove unwanted suitors, too!

*giggles* Oohh, that was brilliant! This kind of eavesdropping is so funny - but now I want to know why Hollowick "would not have to explain why he could hear them as well as they could hear each other". Hmmm, mysterious.

And I'll just say it here because I've been wanting to say it for ages: no one can write pissed-off characters like you. They're both convincing and funny at the same time, so I never know whether to suffer with them or laugh about them. Which is why I usually read your stories twice. ^__^ Seriously. I love them, and I love you for writing them.

And you can't really give me any kind of snippet without me wanting more. That's a given. ^__^

Note to self: Do not read Maderr's snippets at your work desk. You will laugh, people will look at you funny, and its not even 10am yet.

*squeals and tackle glomps* I don't know who I love more. The wizard and his unicorn for entertaining themselves by rating everyone in sight, or Hollowick who listens in and puts an end to it when they get to him. XD

I sense there's some history there between the three of them? Of course, with Hollowick being able to hear them when no one else can...

*huge puppy eyes* ^_________^

You are the awesome! *glomps* Hope you were able to get some sleep last night and that today is not too painful. <3

This is pretty awesome and as a huge potential to be expanded into more. I mean, reading the little drabble had me wanting to know more about the society as well as why could the main character hear the other characters, when usually its only a one on one (master and familiar) link.

This sounds interesting, if not completely amusing. I already know that I'm going to like Hollowick's character. Something you should continue to write, methinks… after Bound, of course.

Keep On Writing!
