The Redwood Cottage - a photo on Flickriver

            Since I got a new editing program, I wanted to take a new picture of my favorite MOC.  I hope you guys still enjoy this build!  The original picture of this wasn't bad, but I figured a straight white background would look better.

Let me know your thoughts!  

This creation was on display at #brickfair 2016!

Original story:

Stren was a humble sorcerer.  He lived in his cottage deep in the woods of the kingdom.  He has his gardens, his house, his firewood, and his magic.  Nothing more is required in life for him.  

One afternoon, he was enjoying the weather in his front yard, when he notices two armed royal knights approaching his fence.  Expecting trouble, Stren grabs his staff and stands up.

Sorcerers are not well liked in the world.  They're believed to be agents of the Devil, with dark powers.  Common folk avoid them at all costs.  Whenever a sorcerer is approached by armed knights, he has reason to be nervous and expect a threat.

The knights stopped at the gate and glanced at each other.  Then one proceeded to speak:

"We are not here to harm you.  We come with a message from the king himself.  He requires your assistance...he says you saved his life once."

"Indeed I did.  You may approach...slowly," Stren replied.

The two knights walked slowly up to Stren, but kept their distance when they stopped.  

"What is it the king requires of me?"

"There is a dark force...the Necromancer, he is called...  He is raging war against the kingdom, destroying villages...killing innocents," the knight responded.  "The king is asking if you would help him fight back."

"The king would ask a sorcerer to help fight a war?" Stren repeated.  

"Yes, he knows he can trust you, since you saved his life.  His parents encouraged him to believe you were good."  

Stren nodded, while stroking his short beard.  "I will come immediately."  

The knights nodded and thanked him together.  "The king has assured your safety for the journey."  

The sorcerer nodded, then retreated back inside his cottage.  He collected a few items and placed them in his satchel, which he then threw over his shoulder.  Picking up his staff once more, he then closed the door behind him and followed the knights down the path.  

As they reached the crest of a hill, Stren turned to look back at his home.  He wondered to himself if he'd ever see it again.  Maybe...
