Lighting Up The Night

This story is a myth set in the same world as a novel I am currently working on. The myth is part of a series that details the exploits of the gods of this world. Enjoy, and please comment.

Lighting Up The Night
Hurin came to Lar-Ise when it was a young world. He walked the forests and the plains, the deserts and jungles, the beaches and hills, and made his home in the mountains. He delved into each peak, searching for ore and gems, and sturdy stone. Hurin carved his workshop into the roots of the earth, in tunnels where lava flowed in streams, and collected in pools.

Wearing a cotton shirt and trousers, she stepped across the sand of the arena, stained rust red by the past fallen. She approached the men, proud and unyielding.
