It ended up taking Morgan, Issa, and the band of refugees from Blake’s keep four days to get to the forest outside of Tarn’s Crossing. When they’d finally gotten everyone down the escarpment ...

Olivia waved her hand in front of her face while looking into the mirror. She didn’t quite know how to feel about what was happening to her. To his credit,  Professor ap’Gravin hadn’t sk...

Olivia sat on the stone bench, hands folded in her lap, and did her best not to feel like a mouse under the predatory gaze of Professor Oylla-dak. Something in her didn’t shrink away, though, and...

After Morgan released all of the former prisoners of Gunther and Blake, he and Issa explored up the spiral stairs, looking for where Blake had stashed her dimensional bags and gear. If he were hone...

“Should I assign my five points from level ten before looking at my class choices?” Olivia asked Alyss. They were sitting in Alyss’s office, which would have made a fully tenured Harvard prof...

Morgan was starting to think the sedative wasn’t going to work. Perhaps the dosage for such a large pot had been insufficient. Perhaps alchemical concoctions couldn’t be mixed with other substa...

Victor 2b: Delve Six-fourteen

Victor followed the old, blue Ardeni man to the back of Lam’s barracks, where he’d promised to hook him up with a belt. It was cool that he was allowed to have a club, considering he was basica...

Keiry spun around with a gasp, and Morgan held his hand out palm-down, his sword tucked against his body by his shortened left arm. “Please stay quiet; like I said, I’m here to help.”

Olivia was disturbed to see that more upper-class students and professors had shown up for her demonstration than had for the awards assembly. She was standing on stage next to Alyss, wearing her g...

“You shouldn’t let them get to you like that, Olivia,” Veena said, taking a seat at the foot of Olivia’s bed. They were all still hovering around her, some sitting on her bed, some on Veena...

The awards assembly took place in a large auditorium that Olivia hadn’t yet visited. It reminded her a lot of one of the larger lecture halls at university, except for the aesthetics: polished wo...

Victor 1b: Lam's Furies

Victor still hadn’t taken a look inward to his Core by the time the wagon trundled to a stop at the bottom of the long, hard-packed gravel road. He was afraid of what he’d find; right now, he h...

The journey through the grasslands of the Chebli Sea went smoothly for Morgan and Issa. They didn’t run into the Ardeni herders, nor did they encounter any wildlife of any size. They saw lots of ...

Victor felt like the lord that the guard had gone to fetch would arrive any moment, so he lay there tensely, his mind providing detailed fantasies about what kind of hell was waiting for him. He la...
