2 uncertain blond Adjective UNKNOWN 3301 And Elbryan cried for himself, his future bleak and uncertain. Jill shook her head, her short shock of blond hair bouncing about.
3 ruins attendance Noun UNKNOWN 3302 And so he searched, pulling corpses from the ruins of houses, collecting the fallen and laying the bodies side by side on the field that had been Bunker Crawyer's corral. It was bad enough that the carriage would roll through every part of the large city, bad enough that more than five hundred people would be in attendance at the church when she and Connor were wed, but the thought of what would come later, after the grand ball ...
4 exhaustion gentlemen Singular Noun UNKNOWN 3303 Mercifully, Elbryan's grief had brought with it exhaustion, and the boy had found some sleep. After the carnage ride, the newlyweds came to a hall filled with music and drink, with ladies and gentlemen spinning about, twirling and laughing.
5 moist suggestion Adjective Plural UNKNOWN 3304 He came out of the house, eyes still moist with tears, his mother's body in his arms. Elbryan absorbed all their words, sifted through their suggestions.
6 revenge nightgown Noun UNKNOWN 3305 Despite very real fears, Elbryan wanted revenge. I will do as I please, when I please!" As if to accentuate his point, he reached over with one hand and tore down the side of Jill's nightgown, pulling it low enough to reveal one of her breasts.
7 bears glassy Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3306 Such a scene of carnage would no doubt bring other scavengers - great cats and bears, perhaps - and Elbryan couldn't be sure that the goblins wouldn't return. CHAPTER 18 The Test of Faith Hour after endless hour, day after endless day, the Windrunner glided lazily across the sparkling glassy surface of the South Mirianic.
transfer Verb B2 3307 CHAPTER 27 The Fat Prophet's Warning News that she would soon be transferred to Pireth Vanguard far to the north, did little to change Jill's sullen mood.
8 lace emptiness Noun UNKNOWN 3308 3307 Now, seeing her adorned in a white gown of satin and lace, her long, thick blond mane pinned up on one side and hanging loose on the other, she seemed made for royalty. Some said it was, the work of ghosts, or evil monsters of the deeper waters, but most rational, experienced sailors attributed it to fear and suspicion, to the long days of emptiness and the undeniable feeling that the sea would never end, that the ship would sail and sail until there was no more to eat and no more to drink.
9 snare intimacy Noun UNKNOWN 3309 3308 The agile elf managed to slip her foot out of Elbryan's belt snare and come dropping back to the ground, though even with her wings fluttering hard, she hit rather unceremoniously.

10 chief starboard Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3310 3309 Juraviel, Elbryan's chief sponsor with Lady Dasslerond, took it lightly. "Whale to starboard!" the lookout cried a moment later.
11 resourceful damnation Adjective Singular UNKNOWN 3311 3310 He remembered Mather at the start of the legendary ranger's career, a bumbling boy no more adept and probably not even as resourceful as this Elbryan.

12 conclusion pedal Noun UNKNOWN 3312 3311 And to the young man who had somehow survived a goblin raid, such a conclusion meant it could only be one thing.

13 rationally cargo Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3313 3312 And now he was here, the best scenario he could rationally have hoped to find. He did not wake up until long after the dawn, his precious cargo intact in his pack.
14 casting tarry Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3314 3313 The moon was above the easternmost boughs, casting slanted rays upon him, and he realized how foolish he had been and how vulnerable he now was.

soothing Adjective UNKNOWN 3315 Soothing sounds, and that made defiant Elbryan panic even more.

Avelyn feared that Quintall, in issuing such a clear order, might have overstepped his bounds this time.
16 vigorously tail Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3338 3315 The hard-headed powrie shook its head vigorously, lips flapping.

27 withstand Noun UNKNOWN 3326 On board Quintall launched right away into lies about the dangers to the foolish seaman, about how the monks, and the monks alone, were trained to withstand the fury of the showers.
28 accusation Singular UNKNOWN 3327 "Do you think that you belong in Dundalis?" the man asked bluntly, again the words sounding like an accusation, or a threat.

31 gaping Adjective UNKNOWN 3330 Avelyn meant to turn him over, but he could not find his breath when he looked at the fatal wound, a gaping hole smashed right through Thagraine's skull, brain matter splattered all about.

89 wharf demise Noun UNKNOWN 3344 3388 He touched down easily atop the surf, berating himself for not simply walking his body horizontally across the cliff to land atop the wharf instead.

97 homeland traveling Noun UNKNOWN 3352 3396 He knew that he was nowhere near Dundalis; this mountain was nothing like the gentle, tree-covered hills of his homeland.

101 treetop justify Noun Verb UNKNOWN B2 3356 3400 Elbryan had the distinct feeling the mist and the treetops were somehow connected. If that was the case, would he be justified in waging battle with these six?
