“Drink?” Ado asked.
Hump nodded. “Please.”
He let the door creak shut behind him. Inside, he was hit with the scent of smoke and pungent herbs. The main living area was illuminated by heartstones just like everywhere else Hump ...

It was fun to catch up with Vamir again after so long, though for the most part, Hump just talked about his and Celaine’s adventures over the last year. Vamir listened with interest as he led the way back down the path leading to the Temple of t...

Really liked this chapter.
Heartstones lit the meeting house in a display of vibrant blues and yellows. It was spectacular; perhaps enough to rival the lighting of the Daston Estate. Hump could hardly imagine how powerful th...

As they neared the gathering, Hump and Celaine dismounted.
“Celaine and I will go ahead alone, Chief,” Hump said.
“Promised gifts,” Rakar said.
Hump smiled. “Don’t worry. Let us say hello first and then you’ll have ...

From dragonback? Tessa’s words resounded in Hump’s head. He remembered experiencing the memories of Nisha’s mother in Bledsbury. The thrill of flying over a forest amongst the wolf pack and plummeting toward the ground. The rush of ...

Hey guys. This is one of those chapters I haven't really edited enough to my liking. The beats are there, but there are sections that could be touched up for some extra coolness or clarity. In the past I'd have held this one back until tom...

Rehk, Tokdaar, and the horses were nowhere to be seen when Hump returned. He searched frantically, briefly fearing the gnolls had run off with their horses and gear, or worse, something had attacked them.

One of the worst things about being a hedge wizard was all the walking. Hump had grown used to it over the years—it was an unavoidable part of the job after all—that did not make him any fonder of it. Even on the best of days, walking for hour...

Hump searched the mine, trying to locate the direction of the voice. Lost spirits weren’t always hostile, but they could be dangerous. In a place as enriched in essence as this mine, they couldn’t be too careful.
