“He’s fine, you know,” Silas said. “He always is. Whether he wants to be or not.”
Eza glanced back at him. “There’s a difference between being fine and being alive, Silas. And I think you know that full well.”
“Hm?” Toby looked down to his Morpho Partner. “What is it Memis?”
The little dog had a concerned expression on his face. “Do you… will you really kill me?”
“This is some trick to keep us away from the treasure.” He heard Hari whisper.
“Aye, that means we are on the right path.” Terek nodded.
“You’re seeing her?” Eliza looked up at Julia, she could tell she didn’t like Ursula. Eliza pulled a small cotton cloth out of her pocket and wiped her mouth.
“Not for much longer.” Eliza responded.

Chapter 15 is now ready to read!
“I don’t see the sense in me going.” The cloaked figure argued. “Perhaps an advance party of newly ensnared underlings could...”
“Silence, worm!” The terrifying voice fell like a whip crack. “I will not squander my creations on the task set for you. Do as you are commanded or else.”
“Ashtsu Llehti... uh... ekat em kcab.. ot Sulbarom.” The frail creature uttered through bleeding teeth.
"What are...?" Okarg did not know what those words were, and it hardly mattered as he curled his iron hard fingers around his victim’s skeletal neck.
"Who is she to marry?"
Delyana placed her hand over her eyes and rubbed them "Where are you going with this?"
Daystar, Chapter 3
“Good soldiers? I wouldn't say good, maybe objectively but maybe nice soldiers sounds more accurate.” Jay sighed.
“You don’t want nice soldiers, you want good soldiers.” I agreed as we walked away from the good-natured men.
From a chapter later in the story!
“Who are you?” He asked in the common tongue.
“My lord? ...I am Pumurlanot, overseer of this sector, my lord.” The squat creature kept his face close to the ground. “What does your lordship wish of me?”
He felt something in him shatter, sobs heaving from his mouth, “I never wanted you to hurt me! I WANTED YOU TO LOVE ME!”
“I love you.”

“Good boy”, chuckled Rhunal as she approached the skeleton. It shook its weapon angrily at her in response.
“Good job, Frank.” she corrected, and he nodded slowly in her direction in return.

“Are you headed to town?”
“Yeah. My mum sent me on an errand.” He lowered his voice as he looked at his feet.
The conversation came to an abrupt halt. Having recomposed herself, Sandra studied the awkward teen. She recalled him as being the odd one out in her class. Isolated and an outcast. With his demeanor, she presumed the others picked on him too.
Outside of class, he was even more of a sloppy dresser, with a sweat pants and tee that had a small stain. She guessed he wasn’t the kind to care about appearances either way. Noticing him shuffle from one foot to another, she followed his gaze to her exposed thighs. Instinctively, she took a step back and slung her bag to the front to cover a little of her skin.
“Hey.” She brought his attention back to her face. “I guess you need to make a move?”
“Humaine captives from a recent raid to the north.” He heard Pumurlanot snivel. “My lord.”

“Hm, this she... what is she?” He asked softly, suddenly dreading being there altogether.
“My lord!” Pumurlanot shook violently. “...this one has never ...seen anything like she who must not be named before in his miserable life.”
“Aye, the Diabane... the greatest warriors to...” The man continued.
“The Diabane are nothing more than stone cutters and gold miners...” The sinister voice bore into the man’s words. “Echtor, chieftain of Anglathe... your Diabane allies are not even a shadow of the great warriors they once were fabled to be.”
“So, how was your trip?” Dana’s tone changed to a calmer manner, which made Leticia’s eyebrow raised.

“You think a naive beginner is any match for me?” Muiranda’s eyes began to glow red. “I who spent half a lifetime mastering the craft of mind control?”
“I know I am, and I believe so.” Iola smiled at her without mirth. “My Gift has not been corrupted as yours has, despite your training. I am pure, and within me is the knowledge and experience of the Starlight legacy.”
He trembled, the rage leaving only desperation, “I-I need you…to-to touch me…”
Ira chuckled, but there was that growl laced underneath, her head turning slowly, “You said some very mean things just now.”
