2 accounts crisscross Noun Gerund UNKNOWN 4201 Physically, by all accounts, he was the image of his father in Graevis' younger days, but by Cat's estimation, Grady could not have been more different than Graevis in temperament. One had many daggers within easy grasp, hanging on a bandolier that crisscrossed his chest.
3 rightful neat Adjective UNKNOWN 4202 She envisioned herself as a light source, a blazing sun, rightful owner of this mortal coil, and she fought back. Elbryan understood immediately that this was their destination, that there was something unusual about these plants; they were growing in neat rows, evenly spaced, and the ground around them was bare.
4 inheritance gracefully Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 4203 Stiff even, and as the young woman had grown wiser to the ways of the world, she came to understand that Grady saw her as a threat to what he considered his rightful inheritance. Silvery lines wove gracefully about the dark green stem; they seemed to Elbryan consistent with the fishing lines and the bowstrings the elves used.
5 contrast cure Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4204 His proper speech rang in sharp contrast to the street dialect of his parents. So the monk, exhausted from fighting and then curing the stranger's magical poisoning, his mind heavy with drink, plopped down on his bed and was soon snoring loudly.
6 expensive resilient Adjective UNKNOWN 4205 He fancied himself an important man, and frequented the more expensive establishments near the duke's castle, and had even been in the castle on many occasions. Elbryan knew how strong find resilient his bow was, and so he figured that if the softening gel would work on darkfern, it might even defeat the metal.
7 apron berry Noun UNKNOWN 4206 She shook her head, tossed her apron to the back of a nearby chair, gathered up her cloak, and headed out into the Palmaris night. But fruits and berries are naught but ticklings.
8 brine slit Noun UNKNOWN 4207 Even now, after nearly four years in Palmaris, when she knew every street, where to go, where to avoid, and when the dark image of the great Masur Delaval and the smell of brine and the wind filled with crisp wetness had become very familiar to her, she could not consider the place her home. The old elf took up a curious-looking knife, bent upward on both sides and with its cutting edge on one side of a slit running down its middle.
9 affectionately peel Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 4208 It had been given to her affectionately, she knew, and with all sympathy for her pitiful predicament, and so she had not argued. A tiny strip peeled away, so thin as to be nearly translucent.
10 soot crafting Noun UNKNOWN 4209 She remembered wandering into a village, dirty and wounded, covered in soot and blood. His was an act of the purest creation and not a mere crafting; his art was bound by magic and by the sheer skill that seven hundred years had honed.
11 orphan hone Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4210 Any reservations that the nobleman's family had held toward the peasant orphan girl had been washed away when they met Jill, truly beautiful both inside and out. She was no novice to battle, this one, with finely honed reflexes.
12 neighboring notch Adjective Gerund UNKNOWN 4211 His solace came in duty, in his vow that this Dundalis and the two neighboring villages would not share the fate that had befallen his own village. He would spend the better part of half a year on this one, he knew, scraping and treating, notching and weaving spells of strength.
13 phenomenon personality Noun UNKNOWN 4212 "The Halo," Cat-the-Stray muttered, and she realized that she had not seen the phenomenon since she had come to Palmaris. He had no idea what title he would give the bow; that would come to him as the weapon took on its own personality, its own nuances.
14 metallic fluidly Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN 4213 She considered going back into the Way and inquiring about this Halo right then, but her concentration was broken by a sharp, metallic sound. It had come so fluidly, so fast, that Elbryan was still staring at the elf when he heard the third arrow hit.
15 lovely embed Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 4214 "Ah, me lovely," said the drunk from the bar. He was almost afraid to look up at the mark and wasn't surprised to find all three embedded squarely in the target, one in the bull'seye, the other two right beside it.
16 namesake waver Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4215 Quick as her namesake, the young woman leaped across and put her knee heavily into the drunk's chest, knocking him flat to the roof. Every time his concentration wavered even a bit, his arrow flew wide of the mark, disappearing into the forest scrub.
17 cheap callus Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4216 Brother Justice found their stories, sputtered for the price of a few cheap ales, quite interesting. The fingers of the young man's right hand were soon laced with calluses, and the leather on the inside of his black arm guard had been worn down to half its original thickness.
18 nibble upside Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 4217 But the young monk could not pull his mind far from the horrors he had witnessed, the encroaching evil that nibbled at the very heart of all that young Avelyn Desbris had held dear. He looked up to see that last giant upside down, flailing wildly, futilely, floating even farther away.
19 stun exploit Verb Noun UNKNOWN 4218 Just as stunning to the hardy folk was the manner in which the goblin lines had parted. - to his exploits in the Wilderlands.

21 squirming seen Adjective UNKNOWN 4220 He pushed down hard to secure the squirming youngster and swung about, Hawkwing in his free hand, ready to fend off an attack.

23 bosom perceive Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4222 She took a deep breath and moved to the gutter, then down, meeting the eyes of no one, falling into the bosom of Pettibwa as soon as she spotted the woman, and whispering for Pettibwa to please take her to her room. And it went deeper than that; the ranger came to perceive the world about Symphony through the eyes of the magnificent horse.
24 thrive modesty Verb Noun UNKNOWN 4223 Indeed she had thrived; initially, at least, in the military. Modesty caused Elbryan to hesitate, but Tuntun wasn't in the mood for a debate.
25 functions choosing Noun UNKNOWN 4224 They studied with their respective classmates throughout the day, learning their religious duties and expectations, the day-to-day functions of the abbey, and the fighting techniques.

26 ingrained absently Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN 4225 It seemed that as every ceremony became ingrained within him, it lost a bit of its mystery, and thus, its holiness. "I hear the birds," he answered absently.
27 ideal taper Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4226 For in the Ring Stones, the young man found his ideals satisfied. A subtle shift, still too quick for the creature to dodge, and Elbryan stabbed the tapered end out straight, striking the goblin on its sloping forehead right above and between the eyes, laying it out straight in the stream.
28 ironic finely Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 4227 The thought was more than a little unsettling to gentle Avelyn Desbris, and he thought it ironic that Quintall's anger was no more than proof that he, and not the stocky, ferocious man, was the better choice for Pimaninicuit. A new set of clothes, finely made, was laid out on the floor before him.
29 reservation dump Plural Verb UNKNOWN 4228 Even skeptical Master Siherton, whatever reservations he continued to hold about Avelyn as a fellow human being, had to admit that the man was the obvious choice, the God-given choice, for Pimaninicuit. The ranger went around to the back and dumped out the cauldron of poison.
30 lobby hawk Verb Noun UNKNOWN 4229 Siherton maintained his tight bond with Quintall and lobbied for the younger man to be included - as Thagraine's replacement and not Avelyn's. As the bow bent, the three feathers on its top tip separated from one another, looking like the "fingers" on the end of the wing of a gliding hawk.
mediator Noun UNKNOWN 4230 By the third year, Master Siherton also became invaluable as a mediator between the two rivals from the class of God's Year 816, coaxing Quintall into easing up on his jealousy of Avelyn.

31 playing trusting Noun UNKNOWN 4232 4230 The centaur stopped his playing when he spotted his friend, his white smile growing wide within his bushy black beard. Elbryan's first instinct was to ask where, but he held the thought private, trusting that the elves would tell him if he needed to know.
32 watery shrub Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4233 4231 But for all the harsh reality, for all the possibilities that he would not survive, Avelyn watched the watery horizon for hint of those square sails most intently of all.

33 pinnacle settler Noun Plural UNKNOWN 4234 4232 To his thinking, this was the pinnacle of his existence, the greatest joy that a monk of St.-Mere-Abelle might know, the closest, before death, that he could ever get to his God. There were the Moorlands - the Soupy Bogs, they had been affectionately called by the settlers on the edge of the Wilderlands.
34 office guardian Noun Plural UNKNOWN 4235 4233 The other three chosen were already in the spacious office when Avelyn and Jojonah arrived. He was a ranger, a guardian of the frontier humans and also of the forest and its creatures.
35 mustache basin Noun UNKNOWN 4236 4234 He had a garish scar running from ear to chin that seemed to Avelyn somehow gallant, and, unlike his scruffy companion, he was clean shaven except for a neatly trimmed mustache, rolling out from the sides of his mouth and curling up. Rivulets of runoff had been crystalline all through the Moorlands, except in those low basins where the water collected and remained, where the ground and water seemed to blend, to melt together into a thick muddy stew.
36 acutely subtly Adverb UNKNOWN 4237 4235 That garment held Avelyn's attention acutely, for he sensed that at least one of those jewels, a small ruby, was more than ornamental. One of his senses subtly called out a warning to him.
37 ornamental upstream Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4238 4236 That garment held Avelyn's attention acutely, for he sensed that at least one of those jewels, a small ruby, was more than ornamental. He noted a splash, not so far in the distance upstream.
38 proximity consistency Noun UNKNOWN 4239 4237 - and yet, fighting in such proximity had him on the defensive for her sake. The noise increased - by the volume and consistency of the splashing, Elbryan figured there must be about a half dozen bipedal creatures approaching.
39 wishes thankfully Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 4240 4238 Perhaps Pireth Vanguard would be better, she sometimes dared to hope; but inevitably, her wishes fell back on the dark reality that was life in Honce-the-Bear in God's Year 824. The others held clubs and crude swords, but thankfully, no bows.
40 yourselves eeyan Noun UNKNOWN 4241 4239 Make your peace with God and prepare yourselves for the task before you," They left the office then, unescorted, and Quintall began openly complaining even as the door shut behind them. "Eeyan kos?" one of them called.
41 pecking whoop Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4242 4240 The pecking order for the voyage had indeed been determined in just that manner. With a whoop of delight, the other goblins, predictably, came on.
42 grandest flanking Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4243 4241 The morning ceremony was the grandest event that Avelyn had seen in his four and a half years at St.-Mere-Abelle.

51 noisily foamy Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN 4246 4250 The four crewmen of the Windrunner's boat, which was bouncing noisily against the wooden dock, sat through it all with smirking faces, thoroughly amused and certainly not impressed.

52 crusty raccoon Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4247 4251 CHAPTER 13 Running Fast Down a Long, Long Road Elbryan froze as he heard the crusty snow crunch under his feet. If that was the case, then Elbryan would have his work cut out from him indeed, hunting almost day and night for other infected animals, everything from raccoons and weasels to bats.
53 jealous weasel Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4248 4252 Avelyn watched that stare, and the return look Quintall offered to the master, and he understood that, while Quintall hated him and was jealous of him, the man would indeed protect him at all costs on the journey to and from the island. Weasel?" The centaur snorted.
54 joyous foam Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4249 4253 The ceremony went off perfectly solemn yet joyous, ladies crying, men standing tall and handsome. No foam; the ranger breathed a sigh of relief.

60 moot vat Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4254 4259 The point was moot, anyway, for Elbryan never got close to touching the elusive deer. She turned to the catapult, its arm low and ready to fire, then looked at the vats of burning pitch, wondering what mischief she might cause.

65 session inflict Plural Infinitive UNKNOWN 4259 4264 Not that Juraviel and the others weren't strong; it constantly amazed Elbryan how much power an elf packed into its tiny frame, power he felt all too often in the sting of a practice sword's strike during his sparring sessions! He had to find some way to hurt this thing, and though his sword might inflict some sting, it seemed that the wound could only be so deep.
66 bind stout Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 4260 4265 Short of that, there was the very real possibility that Abbot Dobrinion would bind Jill into indenture to Connor, perhaps for the remainder of her life. Jill regarded the short, stout man curiously.
67 dice letch Noun UNKNOWN 4261 4266 But perhaps he'd have time for a few drinks and a dice game before. But he was a letch, a drooling, grabby slob, who took it personally when Jill refused his advances.
