“Is there anything I can do to help, Morh-AsaHi?” Lucci’s silver eyes peered down at her hopefully. She turned to smile at him from where she was placing the last few fixings on one of the lunch plates. The fact that she was standing up on a step stool to reach across the counter and [...]

Just hold your breath, stay quiet and hope that maybe people will forget you’re here. Not likely, Lucci knew. But hopeful thinking was better than hopeless thinking. If nothing else, that’s what Lord Zemi always taught him – how to try and make the best of things. Something about life, lemons and lemon aid. Whatever [...]

“He’s not responding to anything,” AsaHi’s worried eyes lifted as SoYa entered the room. “What do we do?” “Still?” the Apprentice frowned, setting a tray down on the stone wall-table. He brought in a small bowl, the scent of warm herbal soup rising with the shifting of steam. And a pitcher of drink. Not as [...]

AsaHi’s mind unfolded for Zemi like a map. A map to vastly extraordinary things. AsaHi spent with the Dragons in Wyndor, here abilities unlocked easily. All it took was a small nudge. It was for that reason that Zemi sent his Servants to bring the girl there to begin with. Enough exposure to the Dragons [...]
