Chapter 34 – What He Bears
By now, they were accompanied by a suspicious escort of five knights. They had sent one ahead to announce the banner's arrival. Since their group was traveling on foot and the Tulvians therefore had to lead their horses at a walk pace, their entire procession had a somewhat peculiar solemnity and at the same time they probably looked a bit ridiculous. Whenever one of the knights cast a glance at their motley crew, suspicion returned to his face. But as soon as his gaze wandered further, to the banner on…-

Chapter 4 – Certified Sorceress
"Groff'fuffbar nark buffra." Vyriz's pronunciation was so bad that it could probably even pass for deliberate poetry among goblins. "Groff'fu-ffar," Jacob corrected automatically, leaning his head against Vyriz's shoulder. The embroidered cushions they lounged on were pleasantly cool against his bare calf, one of the few parts of his body his simple wrap-around dress didn't cover. "More saliva on the second F. Imagine spitting out a particularly tough mushroom." "Charming." Vyriz grimaced. "And that…-

"If you don't take your arm off me right now," she hissed quietly enough so as not to wake the sleeping women around her, "you won't have it for much longer." Benderast froze. "I just thought-" "You thought? Is that so?" Shaelith turned her head just enough to give him a withering look. Her lavender eyes shimmered dangerously in the dim firelight. "I doubt it. What were you thinking? That it was a good idea to get it on with me in between a dozen traumatized women who have just been rescued from a goblin…

Chapter 26 – Story Engine
The Warlock led them calmly through the fortress. He had tied Shaelith's hands behind her back and was pulling her and Vyriz behind him on a leash like dogs. Vyriz's eyes were still blindfolded, his mouth still gagged, but he was staying on his feet, and Shaelith tried to stay close enough to him that he knew where she was and didn't accidentally stumble. The Warlock wore a simple linen shirt, dark pants, and supple leather boots that were of good quality but had definitely seen better days. A short…-

Shaelith couldn't see much from her chained position, but what she did see was enough to realize that doom was descending upon the goblins below. The Tulvian cavalry made the ground beneath the fortress vibrate as thousands of heavy warhorses simultaneously crashed into the hastily assembled outer defensive lines of the goblins. Above the thunder of hooves, the magically amplified voices of the living Tulvian battle standards cut through the noise, the bizarre, sentient silk banners that moved…

Chapter 28 – Pride of the Lake
The Warlock moved into the final battle, throwing everything he had left into the fight, and that was no small amount. His remaining arm swung the mace in wide, devastating arcs. Crimson runes flickered along the weapon, no longer glowing steadily, but stuttering like a light bulb about to burn out, but with each flash, a shockwave was released that shattered furniture and knocked Shaeravyn soldiers and sorceresses off their feet. Even Shaelith had to pick herself up again. The Warlock did not try to…-

The Warlock still lay where he had fallen. No one had moved him. But his helmet had slipped from his head in death, revealing his ordinary human face. Narrow, unremarkable, and unkempt, with three-day stubble and dark circles under his eyes. He actually looked more like an exhausted accountant than someone who commanded a goblin army, drove four peoples to war, and committed countless massacres. The kind of person whose neighbors would later report on television that they had no idea. Shaelith looked…

Chapter 32 – Departure
The letter bore the seal of the Grevue dynasty, a crowned griffin on midnight blue wax, so flawlessly embossed that Shaelith could see the individual feathers in the imprint of the signet ring. Laenre had already opened it. The parchment lay before her on the obsidian table, and the Matriarch was anything but enthusiastic. Benderast stood upright next to Shaelith and was, for once, relatively quiet, for which she was grateful. Behind them, leaning against the wall, was a banner pole hastily fashioned by…-

Chapter 33 – Glory Road
It took five days for Shaelith to realize she was bored, and then a few more moments before she realized that this was, in fact, an almost unheard-of luxury. Not too long ago, but still right in the middle of the then ongoing war, when they had been on their way north, the land they had traveled through had still been gripped by a grim atmosphere and they had to be constantly on guard. Now it feels more like a country outing. That morning, they had passed the first returnees. A handful of families…-

Chapter 44 – Coaching in Heresy
Right after getting up, Grimbart had already enthusiastically set about turning Mirrsoss' egg into an omelet. He served it well-seasoned with bread and fried bacon. Benderast accepted his plate with a beaming smile and started shoveling the food in right away. "I love Egg Night," he announced with his mouth full. "I mean, the result, that is." He glanced cautiously over at Shaelith. Mirrsoss sat next to Shaelith with her wings loosely folded, nibbling on her bread. Her antennae turned toward her.…-
