If I swallowed you two, would I be able to control the elf?” “No!” they both said together. Sometimes when a dwarf says no, he means yes. “Just remember, even if it doesn’t work, I can swallow you and disconnect you from the gem. That means a lifetime stuck in my head. Believe me, you wouldn’t like it.” Neither said anything, but it felt like both gems shuddered in my hands. I put them away and took in the view. Beneath us were thousands of troops marching in square formation. Lizardmen and hu

The mourning dove fled to the peal of an elfin horn: "What was that call, just now? And that insurmountable wind like lindworm breath?" I murmured to myself, shuddering as I looked out the window: In rode a terrible train of huldre, Jotun, alfar and dokkalfar, dwarves, nixie, mara and trolls of the Dark Court from the depths of the woods. The Cunningfolk's allies in the Northern Holds of Utgardr, and Arcadia's sworn enemies.

However, a strange shadow wrapped around the dwarven warrior’s chest near his heart. “Is that the curse?” Zen tugged at Lorren’s sleeve from behind, staring at the dwarf’s naked torso.

However, you need direct contact.” Nodding nervously, the young chef walked towards the red-headed dwarf. The mysterious warrior appeared amused at Zen's timidity when Zen requested permission to hold his hand. His laugh was as loud and boisterous as Blacksmith Ben’s, making Zen wonder if they were somewhat acquainted.

“Nice, seeing you again” “Vladimir,” Arthur said with distaste and the man turned to me and grinned, I could see the interest in his eyes. “And who do we have here” Vladimir asked, his stare was making me uncomfortable. “My wife” Arthur replied, jaw clenched. Surprise filled Vladimir eyes then he smiled, I could detect the falsetto behind that smile. “You are so lucky, this is the most beautiful woman here” Vladimir said, “It’s a pleasure meeting you Mrs Stone”

She had to admit, she was quite curious. Prince Lucas was right. She did love them. She especially loved the water fountain made of bamboo. The designs carved into the bamboo looked rich with African culture. It was beautiful. It reminded her so much of home and her father. If he were here, he would love it too. But by far the most impressive was the miniature robot Darla built. It was little and pink with a fairly large head. It didn't look like I could do much but it was much more than it looked.

They wore identical, beautifully constructed leather armour from their helms to the chaps that covered their boots, creating the illusion that they were the same man, but many versions of him. Aurien pulled his braid free of his shirt as he stepped forward. The language that he spoke was not Fae. Dwarvish, I thought. One of the other fifteen tongues he spoke. “The dwarves have a complicated relationship with the Fae,” Daerton murmured in my ear. He had made his way up the wagon and leaned his arms against the back of the bench seat. “Your pretty maid had best keep her head down whilst we’re here or she might find herself tied to a dwarf’s bed,” he chuckled. “Will it be love or hate when the

On the ceiling, orbs of light are used to illuminate the cave using a form of magic.

It can't transfer your luck directly to the caster, but it reroutes your fortune to others. By granting other people's wishes, it extends the caster's life. "When your luck is completely drained, and your life reaches its end, the life force that should have been yours…gets transferred to them." He paused, then looked at me.

“The dwarves can help us locate it if they know what it looks like.” I still didn’t know how the dwarves’ powers work but, as I was observing, I thought maybe if they had the picture of the item, they could easily locate it with their vision, much like the witches.
