It was a curious dichotomy, the serenity of the forest. On the face of things, it was peaceful, a gentle wind, playing with the leaves of the trees, insects buzzing and birds singing their songs. But that was only on the surface, if o...

After three days of studying in the dwarven library, I had a reasonable grasp on their way of shaping Astral Power to perform their magic, with quite a bit of material to study. More time would have been helpful but, at the end of the...

Once Lenore had landed, she gave me a gentle, mental push to leave my Hallow, so she could return to hers. Mentally reaching out, I looked out, making sure that I had an accurate mental image before pushing my mind out, pulling the re...
