Shieldbreaker: Episode 4: The Slave Pits of Mogus Potere

By Ty Johnston

The king of Kobalos is no more, but the new ruler and the nation still must pick up the pieces. To this end, Sergeant Lerebus Shieldbreaker leads a squad into the depths of the city's dungeons in order to clear out rumored monsters and to negate magical wards laid down by the old king. However, Lerebus soon finds more than monsters and magic below the castle of Mogus Potere. An old enemy appears once more, an enemy against whom Lerebus has few defenses, and this enemy calls upon Shieldbreaker to perform a task no other could accomplish.

About Shieldbreaker

Readers familiar with my ongoing epic fantasy saga The Ursian Chronicles might recognize the name of Lerebus Shieldbreaker, the main character of this five-part series of short pieces. Lerebus appears as a minor character in the novel Dark King of the North: Book III of The Kobalos Trilogy, and as a somewhat more influential character in my novel Under the Mountain: Part III of The Sword of Bayne. Funny how Lerebus keeps showing up in the final novels of my trilogies. Also, I do not hide the fact that the Jorsican barbarian known as Lerebus will appear in more of my works in the future, sometimes as a major character, sometimes as a minor one. This has led to a few questions from readers about the character, especially concerning his past. How did he come to serve as a soldier in the Kobalan army when he is from Jorsica by birth? How does he meet with the mighty Bayne kul Kanon nearly two thousand years before the events of The Kobalos Trilogy, in which Lerebus appears? This five-part series of short stories will answer many of those questions, and others, though new questions might be raised. The first story, Road of the Sword, is one of my oldest pieces of fiction, and the first time I wrote about Lerebus Shieldbreaker. The events of The Slave Pits of Mogus Potere take
