Chapter 2 – Mushroom Metropolis
What. The. Hell. His little body began to tremble, overwhelmed by impressions and feelings he couldn't categorize. Jacob tried to think clearly, but his brain refused to process the situation. Okay, let's summarize this. I just drowned. Then... nothing? And now I'm a toddler in the city of glowing mushrooms. With... purple mushroom... people? Sure. Perfectly normal. Everyday situation. Happens in the best families. He looked at his tiny hands. They were violet. Oh. The tall figure who had…-

Chapter 30 – Back Again
The flight had been a success in every way, with the sole exception that Grimbart had not survived it. At least, that's what he claimed. "I AM DEAD," he yelled into the wind as his grasshopper caught a thermal and shot ten feet upward. "I AM DEAD, AND THIS IS THE FORGE FATHER'S PUNISHMENT FOR MY SINS!" Mirrsoss zipped through the air beside them, wings flapping wildly, face turned toward the sun, and made a small detour to get closer to Grimbart's grasshopper. "Grimbart! Look, down there is the river…-

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 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…-

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 24 – Hidden Passage
From their hidden position, they thoroughly observed the fortress, hoping to get some idea of how they could get inside. When Mirrsoss returned from her second reconnaissance flight, her moth wings were still a little damp from the clouds she had hidden in to avoid detection. She landed fairly silently between them. Her compound eyes glimmered in the pale light. "The main gates are heavily guarded," she reported breathlessly. "At least forty to fifty goblins at each entrance, and they change regularly.…-

Chapter 22 – The Crossing
The river was a problem. Shaelith stood on the bank and watched the rushing waters tumbling through the rocky riverbed below them. Recent rains had turned the stream into a raging monster, carrying tree trunks and debris as if they were nothing. And where there had once been a bridge, probably not too long ago, only a few stone pillars now protruded from the water. The rest lay scattered on the bank as a field of debris. Some beams were half sunk in the mud, others had become entangled in the bushes, but…-

Chapter 21 – The Way North
The gates of Myzelemaerlazin were already an hour behind them when Shaelith was finally able to think clearly again. The finger. Vyriz's finger. With the word "COME" carved into the skin like an invitation to a damn dinner party. She marched silently at the head of the group, mechanically putting one foot in front of the other, while her anxious thoughts were with Vyriz. The landscape around them gradually changed, and the phosphorescent mushroom columns of the Shaeravyn heartlands gave way to wild fern…-

Chapter 20 – The Morning After
The light from the bioluminescent fungi on the ceiling of the grotto Myzelemaerlazin was located in, was just gradually transitioning into the daytime phase when Shaelith was awakened by the muffled sound of the room door opening. Last night's dream immediately came back to her. The pulsating mycelium network, Zinvere's strange braid, and that powerful, ancient presence she had sensed. But she was torn from her thoughts when Belyssere slipped in silently, apparently to bring Benderast and her a pot of…-

Chapter 17 – The Impossible Bid
"I want her." For three heartbeats, there was absolute silence. The kind of silence that occurs when an entire room full of people tries to comprehend whether they just heard correctly, the kind of silence that screamed, "Did he really just say that?" Surprisingly, it was Xarini Rynalazel who broke the silence. She was, of course, no friend of House Vyrnara, let alone Shaelith herself, but like most Shaeravyn, she had very definite ideas about the superiority of the Shaeravyn over other races, especially…-
