When they rush aboard Saffron, Narud immediately demands of Lilly that they take off. “Can’t. Imogen’s not back yet,” Lilly says, taking in the empty control room. “Why? Who’s Imogen?

With all the other pieces in place, Imogen monitors Saffron’s sensors for the arrival of Neiman’s dropship. As she waits, she nervously replaits her braid. Finally, the cloaked vessel appears, fully visible to the science vessel’s advanced sensors, if not its optics. Imogen pays close attention to the readings when Neiman opens his ship and … Read more

Gwaffalyn seems the perfect person to consult for the fashion makeover that the elves need to convince Sleidr that Heppa is a wealthy human mage from Alduin. And Tric figures Gwaffalyn owes him a favor. After all, the morning of the duel he did point her out to a rich-looking human as someone to keep … Read more

“There is a message for Hepalonia,” Damal announces. He regards the elf for a moment. “Can you read?” “Yes, of course,” Heppa replies. The scribe hands her a small crinkled piece of parchment that must have been crammed into Aderyn’s carrying tube. It is not a long thin sheet with fine, tiny writing like the … Read more

Lilly and Imogen trek through the thicker vegetation on the leeward side of the island, looking for the Xel’naga ruins. They pass the occasional giant, but collapsed, column. While she operates the detector now mounted in her stun rifle’s body, Imogen reviews with Lilly their goals here. They need to get past traps and possibly … Read more
