Renegade Swords

by D.M. Ritzlin

World-old and world-evil, perhaps, was the Father of Slime… older by unthinkable ages than the race of men… mayhap it was even the first-begotten of all living things on this earth—and a naked savage with a burning branch had brought it to its doom!

This is the kind of storytelling I've only found in old pulp sword &sorcery .

And in my heart I bore to them another gift, that was like light to the black night of ignorance. For I brought to my tribe the knowledge that nothing there is in all the world that can slay a man, that men cannot slay.
