Jack double-checked his notes, making sure he had everything he needed. There was a diagram of an ocarina, a fingering chart showing how to play all the notes, and a series of observations he’d made when watching videos and reading about the instrument's history. On the one hand, Jack felt exha...

Roth had just been in the Union’s headquarters. However, the building felt completely different from a few moments ago. It wasn't simply just that after kissing Mel, the chandeliers seemed to shine brighter, the colors in the paintings looked more vivid, or all the works of art scattered throug...

Jack zigzagged through the squeaky wooden wagon wheels and the clapping horses’ hooves escaping the hustle and bustle of the dusty coach station. There was a lot to do and little time, so Jack felt compelled to do something he wasn’t used to: planning.

Roth took a deep breath, looked into Mel’s shiny eyes, and said what he had rehearsed.
“Mel, I care about you.”
She blushed and looked down with a tiny smile. “Me too.”

“We’re d...

Jack realized that one of his old originals could be crammed into a reel. All he had to do was slightly change the melody and stretch a few syllables. As soon as Kevin came to the end of the bar and was about to go for another round, Jack joined in.

As he drew farther from the top of the tower, a sound grew louder. It was a persistent cawing he had heard many times in the ravens' nests. More than that, he could make the words.
