“That seems like a foolish idea, but like you said, it might actually work.”
“I know!” Ava exclaimed after Kaen heard her idea. “I mean, think about it. You have a poison-resist skill and a disease-resist skill now. Almost no one ever gets those because no one can endu...

The night with Callie, Hess and Sulenda had been a salve that both Kaen and Ava needed more than they realized. Seeing that little girl curled up between three dragons, a hand resting on one of the eggs as she slept, reminded them both how precious life was.
“Can I come again soon?...

“I won’t ask because I’m not sure I can understand what you just said,” Bren said as he tried to understand what had just happened. “I expected you to do what you always do, but not like that… not like…”
“Able to see your abilities and block them?” Kaen answered. ...

Max continued to watch Grace as she moved the barrel they had filled with liquid onto a small cart.
“You look… relaxed?” he half asked, half stated. “For someone about to do what you’re going to attempt, you’re smiling and not like you’ve gone crazy.”

Grateful for his high constitution, Kaen ignored the bruises and red marks all over his body and continued to focus on the sound he heard coming toward him.
His sword barely blocked Phillip's attack, and a slight sound told him to take a step back.
The kick missed as it came low at hi...

Kaen could feel Aldric’s and Herb’s gaze even though Pammon was lounging on the floor of the cave behind both men.
Each had sat there mulling over the news of what had happened to the elves and tried to consider what it might mean for Ebonmount and others.
“This spell that he ca...

As you all just hopefully enjoyed the last chapter of book 2, I hope you're anxiously looking forward to book 3 starting on the 26th. I'll drop a few chapters and make it a good Monday :)
The good news is I'm 7 chapters or so from finishing book 3 ;)
So far the ...

Max finished reading and copying the book Adam had loaned him. He was only allowed to have it for one whole day and would make the most of it.
Every rare spawn, boss, and anything else he considered worthy of facing within the capital went into his notebook.

Phaius found himself pacing around the plain reception room.

Max closed both eyes and sighed. After that one ended, he took another deep breath and let it out slowly. “We should not talk about these things… if we do, it will attract attention, and if you got a quest, one of us would die.”
Grace shivered at those last words, seeing M...

They scouted for half a day, flying high above the land at the edge of the clouds, knowing this was the safest spot to travel while also being able to look for Stioks and Juthom.

“I thought he would never leave us alone,” Fowl muttered as he finished off the last of his breakfast. “Did the man think we were going to try and find a room in the middle of the night and, as we did, proclaim to everyone about the attack?”

So… you’ve been quiet. You're going to tell me what you’re thinking about.
Kaen smiled. He knew what he wanted to do the moment they were in the air, and he had some time to finally check the choices for his new archery skill.

Max felt the presence of his double, the power of his skill radiating around him.
His mind exploded as the area around them lit up like the night sky with stars everywhere, even under his feet, as he hovered in the middle of nothingness. It was almost like floating in water.

As always, I'm grateful for you all.
Hopefully you're having a good valentines day if you celebrate that. If you forgot, here is a late reminder.
Was out of town at a State Swim meet with kids. Finally back home and pounding keys again (10k+ words today).

Lilly trotted next to Grace as she weaved through the burnt buildings to the first of her new hiding spots. They were further away from her old one, but she didn’t want to risk keeping everything in location and losing it all in one blow as last time.

Experience had made Kaen pack an entire basket of food. He knew it was the one thing people didn’t have in times of war, and even though it was most of what he had stored for his trips, he shared it willingly, seeing the eyes of those who got a small piece of meat and some hard bread.

Max had been surprised at how empty the streets were as he left the coliseum. The sound of the crowd inside echoed across the inner city as he made his way toward the bridge that led to his inn.
There on the bridge, waiting, were Fowl and Tanila, bouncing slightly as they saw him come...

The sensation Kaen felt as he experienced destruction through the eyes of Pammon almost overwhelmed him. His lifestone burned, and that power was shared, causing the fire that came from inside his friend to burn hotter and last longer.
Pammon came from the east, just enough off the gr...

“Five to one odds, sir.”
Max nodded, signing the sheet as the man watched him with dismay.
“You realize you could walk away now with over four hundred gold?”
Nodding again, Max turned around, looked at his usual guard, and gave a thumbs-up.
The man smiled and retur...

She attempted a feint, and Max read it, moving back a step and lowering his halberd, stopping the move she was trying to make.

Ava had not been excited at the news of their departure, but she accepted it.

Kaen stood next to Pammon, the small stone outcrop that his dragon found along the west side of the mountains. The wind blew, but the cold didn’t faze Kaen, who was wearing nothing more than a thin shirt.
In his arms was the body of his daughter he would only get to hold a few more ...
