Mending the Broken Wing

Mending the Broken Wing is a series of short stories showing the events of The Lay of a Broken Winged Sparrow (fanfiction) from different perspectives, filling the gaps in the main story, showing things that couldn't be told from Jaya Azhdeen's point of view.

Chapter One Is told from a perspective of an Asmodian Chanter Kaith Brightfeather. He and his brother - both powerfull daevas - are summonned by The White Dragon and offered leading positions in his army. The chapter gives readers a glimpse into the heart of Carcarron months after Jaya's departure, it also reveals Raum's plans of attacking Sanctum itself. It also touches the subject of social matters, Kaith being a half-breed - Elyos father, Asmodian mother - there's much he has had to overcome on his path of a warrior, often shunned and denied the fame and good name that was his right to have.

Chapter Two Is told from Oros' point of view, and takes place somewhere around twenty-fifth chapter of The Lay (fanfiction). The chapter leads the reader through the Assassin's dream, effectively revealing his true desires. It starts with a duel - a swordfight with a woman whom reader can easily guess to be Jaya, rendered in her true Asmodian shape. After tearing a few pieces of her armor off the fight takes a turn into more erotic direction as the rage of battle is replaced by wild passion. However, Oros soon wakes in the dark and spends a long time trying to convince himself, that he doesn't want her and it was just a meaningless dream.

Chapter Three Is told from Jareth's perspective. After helping Jaya and Oros return to Elysea, Jareth is held captive in Synedel, his actions discovered. He is then visited by Raum, who has now come to suspect that the redhaired woman his troops fought and the "Elyos" Jareth helped escape is none other than Jaya herself. He asks Jareth to tell him the truth, but the young sorcerer doesn't give him the answer. In the end Raum forces him to join his conquest, threatening to recruit Vee instead in case of his refusal. Despaired, Jareth agrees. After Raum leaves, however, Vee comes to him and asks Jareth what has happened. Hearing about his deal with The White Dragon she promptly decides to leave the Academe and go in Jareth's footsteps, much to Jareth's horror.
