11 rip oil PastTense Verb UNKNOWN 1910 Waves of searing agony ripped through Paulson. At night, they huddled together around oil lamps and candles, trying to ward off the chill.
12 muse singing Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 1911 That was the first time he had ever bothered to offer such an explanation, Avelyn mused as he led Jill up the stairs from the common room to their sleeping quarters. A soft singing he could not quite discern?
13 trample execution Verb Singular UNKNOWN 1912 The stunned goblin rubbed its chin and tried to rise to follow, but Bradwarden was right on the ranger's heels and was quick to trample the wretched thing into the dust. Quintall neither denied nor confirmed the execution.
14 solidly combine Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 1913 Jill dodged easily, then kicked out behind the flying weapon, just nicking the powrie on the back but solidly enough so the overbalanced dwarf fell from the parapet eight feet to the ground below. There was something most sacred, yet particularly unmysterious, and thus unholy, in all of this, a tingling of ecstasy combined with a slightly foul taste that Avelyn Desbris could not ignore.
15 intrusion practical Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 1914 And then she felt the intrusion, the spirit of Avelyn making its way into her. Avelyn shrugged, having no practical response.
16 mightily explode Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 1915 His defenses were not in place when Elbryan grabbed his staff down low with both hands and swept it across mightily, smashing in the side of Brother Justice's face. Aida, the very mountain itself, exploded.
17 impossibly Adverb UNKNOWN 1916 Its feel was impossibly smooth, almost liquid.
18 decipher Verb UNKNOWN 1917 Avelyn had never seen such a display, couldn't begin to decipher it.
19 wriggle Gerund UNKNOWN 1918 Again came the wriggling, the tearing of clothes and scraping of skin, the frantic pull and twist that, at last, freed her from the hole.
20 facedown Noun UNKNOWN 1919 Carralee's mother lay facedown in the road, just a few feet from the threshold where lay the baby.
21 amount Noun UNKNOWN 1920 And the amount of damage to the house was remarkable.
22 check Noun UNKNOWN 1921 Elbryan scrambled to his feet, did a quick check of the dead goblins in the area.

25 cradle Gerund UNKNOWN 1924 Avelyn squatted on the floor, cradling the woman.

27 haul Gerund UNKNOWN 1926 Soon the basket was full, so Elbryan hauled it back to the bank and collected another one.
28 community Noun UNKNOWN 1927 It was a difficult concept for Elbryan, because he had been brought up with the idea of community, and within that concept, such elevation of self was considered the worst of sins: pride.
29 likewise Adverb UNKNOWN 1928 Thagraine was likewise chuckling the next day on the deck.
30 spur Verb UNKNOWN 1929 But thoughts of his slain family and friends, of Pony, spurred him on.
31 material Noun UNKNOWN 1930 What manifestation of hell had come to walk the material world?

34 breastplate lying Noun UNKNOWN 1916 1933 Finally, Elbryan found that crease between breastplate and girdle, mentally marking the spot. Avelyn then let go and dropped into a leg sweep that left Thagraine lying flat on the deck.
35 ominous failure Adjective Noun C1 UNKNOWN 1917 1934 Then Avelyn eyed Tol squarely, matching the man's ominous expression with one of pure excitement. Think not of the failure but of the triumph.
36 tired pointedly Adjective Adverb A2 UNKNOWN 1918 1935 Indeed he was tired from the previous day's labors, but so full of excitement that. The barkeep came around the bar with a heavy club, moving pointedly for the fat monk.
37 forget myself Verb Noun A2 UNKNOWN 1919 1936 "To think we have been forgotten in a mere century." Elbryan's scowl melted away in curiosity. You decide which of us, myself or Quintall, deserves the title he carried." When they arrived at Elbryan's camp, when the ranger and Pony settled beside a fire, Avelyn did as promised.
38 age proclaim Noun Verb A2 UNKNOWN 1920 1937 By the tender age of sixteen, Elbryan Wyndon was stronger than Olwan had been. "My consciousness creates the world around me," the elf had proclaimed.
39 birth arid Noun Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 1921 1938 The class had been divided by birth dates; Avelyn and Quintall had been put, together solely because they had been born in the same week, and not for compatibility, either physical or emotional. The delicate creature stepped lightly onto a branch and jumped again immediately, disappearing into the thick brush so completely arid easily that Elbryan blinked and rubbed his eyes.
40 wealth dancing Noun B1 UNKNOWN 1922 1939 In Honce-the-Bear, wealth equalled power, and without power, how could the Order hope to influence the lives of the common folk? Even a bit drunk, Jill was agile, and she got through the dancing with her purity intact.
41 interest milk Noun B1 UNKNOWN 1923 1940 Now the monk could not fully hide his interest. The combination of bog water and milk-stones, as the elves called them, produced some of the sweetest juices in all of Corona.
42 prevent hopeful Verb Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 1924 1941 "It will prevent our spirits from crossing," Jojonah explained. On those first two occasions, the hopeful lad had fallen victim to ever more cunning elvish traps.
43 success stinging Noun Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 1925 1942 He exalted in their successes as much as in his own. Elbryan snapped his staff down low, quite hard, stinging the man on the forearm.
44 risk lumbering Noun Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 1926 1943 He hated risking them all but realized the success of the mission hinged on their actions right now. Avelyn ran between the pair, easily avoiding their lumbering attempts to grab him.
45 harm barb Noun B1 UNKNOWN 1927 1944 Another prank, another cruelty, as with the bear, will bring you more harm than this, I promise. He found his answer in the form of four barbed darts, stuck deep into the bear's rump.
46 innocent hoist Adjective Verb B1 UNKNOWN 1928 1945 Yes, Elbryan would like to converse with Pony, to see her again, to remember that innocent time when patrolling was play and nightmares were not real. That done, he hoisted the last basket and started back the half mile to the trough.
47 flex boggle PastTense Verb UNKNOWN 1929 1946 By sheer will and brute strength, the dactyl flexed its wings. From this raw product, the elves would make their intoxicating wine, Questel ni'touel to the elves, but known to the wide world simply as "boggle." The swamplike connotation of the name was usually completely lost on the humans, who thought the term a mere reference to their state of mind after but a few sips of the potent liquid.
48 brow taint Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1930 1947 Elbryan, thinking Bradwarden to be referring to the elves, crinkled his brow incredulously. Even if he went and retrieved it, the liquid within the stone had been tainted and was no good.
49 cursed surly Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 1931 1948 He didn't know what to do, then cursed himself silently for what he had already done! After his first few encounters with the surly elf, Elbryan had wondered what it was that so prompted her desire to punish.
50 willpower intruder Noun UNKNOWN 1932 1949 Yet even in its death throes, the dactyl had won the day, using its willpower to bring up the magma from the bowels of Aida. Then she was up, meeting the second intruder with a foot in his face as his head came above the roof edge.
51 grand batter Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 1933 1950 The dactyl cackled, thinking itself grand to be able to send such creatures - any creatures! Where trees and thick brush had grown was now only battered pulp and blasted stone.
52 wage darken Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1934 1951 What creatures could the dactyl gather this time to wage its war? Only then did he notice the room had darkened almost to the point of absolute blackness.
53 goblins subsequent Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 1935 1952 He saw the shapes of two such goblins paralleling the movements of his group. The only secret remained the subsequent destination of that ship, for only the masters and the four chosen monks knew the magical name Pimaninicuit.
54 gloom fade Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1936 1953 Hooves of music rend the gloom Bearing Nightbird, know your doom! So gradually that Elbryan never noticed it, the elven voices faded away one by one.
55 lover understanding Noun UNKNOWN 1937 1954 A way goes Nightbird, the forest to greet In springtime sunshine, of Evil no traces, Through flowers and lovers, step measured paces And sleep peaceful lovers, secure. Elbryan still could not navigate this area, but he was gaining some understanding.
56 oldest trade Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1938 1955 Elbryan was the oldest of those children, the leader of the pack, as it were, and he felt important, truly he felt a man. Here and there debates sprang up concerning the value of the spirits and what they should bring in trade, for the spring caravan.
57 fare spinning Verb Noun UNKNOWN 1939 1956 How fared Graevis and Pettibwa? The song came louder, faster, and Juraviel began to dance delicate, spinning circles wrapped in a larger circle that encompassed the plants.
58 mane diagonally Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 1940 1957 One time Elbryan had made the mistake of catching Jilseponie without his male companions nearby, and of tugging too hard on her yellow mane to prove the point of his capture. Now firmly held in both hands, his staff made a second twirl, then came arching diagonally toward the ground, toward Tuntun.
59 jealousy leer Noun UNKNOWN 1941 1958 By the beginning of the third year, the level of jealousy among the four began to rise noticeably. He was right in her face, leering at her.
60 breathlessly yours Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 1942 1959 "The Halo," she said breathlessly. "The choice is yours," Quintall finished.
61 parts balanced Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 1943 1960 The Halo was sometimes visible in the summer sky, but only during the deepest parts of the shorter nights, when children, and even adults, were fast asleep. A combination of strength and agility, a balanced, thinking warrior.
62 ponder swoon Noun UNKNOWN 1944 1961 Unless, Elbryan pondered, another would-be ranger had been brought in. What young woman would not swoon at the mere thought of such a day?
63 urge clue Noun UNKNOWN 1945 1962 Elbryan resisted the sudden and inexplicable urge to run over and kiss Pony. It wasn't until Quintall had left, though, that he finally got the clue he needed.
64 flustered uncontrollable Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 1946 1963 He looked at the flustered young monk, then across the deck at the other three. Untamed, uncontrollable, fearfully strong.
65 brighter eyebrow Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1947 1964 The light went out for just a moment, then returned, brighter than ever. Avelyn cocked an eyebrow at that curious title, not the response he had expected.
66 reflection telling Singular Adjective UNKNOWN 1948 1965 Something was there, a reflection of a man, perhaps. His grin was telling when he looked back at Avelyn, and he merely tipped his great feathered hat and continued on his way.
67 await ashore Verb Noun UNKNOWN 1949 1966 Now she was again Jilseponie, just Jilseponie, sitting on a ridge with her friend, awaiting the return of her father and the other hunters. They put into Freeport only briefly, with but a handful of sailors going ashore in the boat.
68 evergreens seclude Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1950 1967 It bothered Elbryan, too, for the scarring of the evergreens made no sense. Avelyn found himself secluded from the rest of the monks over the next few weeks.
69 mounting arch Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 1951 1968 The starkness of the scene from this vantage point, in this mounting light, amazed the companions. Now firmly held in both hands, his staff made a second twirl, then came arching diagonally toward the ground, toward Tuntun.
70 troop whale Noun UNKNOWN 1952 1969 Jill ordered her troop to filter about, then went to see the man behind the serving bar. "No whale," Adjonas answered grimly.
71 stark spout Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1953 1970 From the ridge top, the vale seemed stark and open, but descending into it, Elbryan and Pony quickly remembered just how confusing and intimidating a place it could be. Avelyn was in the tavern, as usual, standing atop a table, spouting warnings and curses.
72 rim port Noun UNKNOWN 1954 1971 The sun had not yet come up high enough to peer over the rim of the vale, but they could make out its position easily enough. The four were at the port rail out of sight of the barrelboat soon after.
73 lung flaming Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 1955 1972 One made not a sound, the other, hit below a lung, let out an agonized howl. Bestesbulzibar turned on Avelyn, murder in its flaming eyes.
74 straightforward finished Adjective UNKNOWN 1956 1973 Their course was more gentlemanly, less straightforward, but. "How will they know when we are finished?" Thagraine asked suddenly, wildly.
75 envision yach Verb Noun UNKNOWN 1957 1974 Elbryan savored every word, envisioning the battle clearly. You cannot outrun us, yach you cannot, nor can you hope to give a, fight.
76 settle sturdy Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 1958 1975 Did the humanoid army mean to settle here? Elbryan looked at his weapons, so ineffective against the sturdy powrie.
77 mob fleeing Noun UNKNOWN 1959 1976 The younger children came out in a mob, swarming around the older pair. Elbryan thought that a curious thing; why hadn't the wretched humanoids pursued the fleeing humans?
78 melted hillside Verb Noun UNKNOWN 1960 1977 Again with his prompting, Pony turned and melted back into his strong embrace. He looked back in the direction of the cave, then out over the hillside to the water.
79 inland desert Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1961 1978 One army will march south, the other west, inland, until they join at the very gates of Ursal! To a man once of my order but who deserted the way and who stole from my abbey.
80 process crease Noun PastTense UNKNOWN 1962 1979 All three monks knew the process, and knew each stone, except for that amethyst. Finally, Elbryan found that crease between breastplate and girdle, mentally marking the spot.
81 service company Noun UNKNOWN 1963 1980 All his life, he had wanted to live in service to God; all his life he had dreamed of this day. "So you shall repay me with your company," the ranger reasoned.
82 armed setting Verb Noun UNKNOWN 1964 1981 Pony wasn't armed, having left her club back at the ridge. It was risky setting a light in the dark forest, but these folk sorely needed the warmth.
83 shut emanate Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 1965 1982 A blizzard could effectively shut the folk in their homes for a week straight. From the sounds emanating from within, it was quite obvious what was going on in there.
84 emotional fern Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1966 1983 Piled in the emotional jumble were Elbryan's mixed feelings concerning the elves. Joycenevial nodded solemnly; he had treated the fern stem perfectly for the carving.
85 jacket waterskin Noun UNKNOWN 1967 1984 Along one wall stood a gigantic statue, fifteen feet or more, dressed in a heavy leather jacket, trimmed in fur and set with spiked metal plates and heavy iron rings. Instinctively, the ranger's hand went to his waterskin, and he found it less than half full.
86 trimmed shack Verb Noun UNKNOWN 1968 1985 He was dirty and gray, his hair cropped short and badly trimmed, and his beard untended. The walls of the shack were in bad disrepair, with cracks between every board.
87 martial heave Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 1969 1986 Quintall was easily the best of the four in matters of martial arts. But then, Quintall gave a great heave and caught the rope again, barely inches below Elbryan's feet.
88 distraction vicious Singular Adjective UNKNOWN 1970 1987 To Avelyn, it was more of a distraction than anything else. Still, the vicious monk would have let it go, but then Tenegrid made a dangerous mistake.
89 vital loop Adjective PastTense UNKNOWN 1971 1988 The mission was vital, true enough, the greatest moment in seven generations. She looped it up on one try, but lost her grip on the rope and started to tumble.
90 boredom perish Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1972 1989 The worst of it was the boredom. And if I perish in the journey, then so be it.
91 messenger betray Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1973 1990 Master Jojonah hadn't even conversed with the messenger. His eyes betrayed his idea, roaming to the centaur's strong back.
92 horrified role Adjective Noun UNKNOWN B2 1974 1991 And then suddenly, it was gone, destroyed by a horrified, and horrifying, scream. The elf had played only a minor role in the battle, fired only a single arrow.
93 chieftain flatten Noun Verb UNKNOWN 1975 1992 This was an action of a rogue goblin chieftain, perhaps, or one of the many powrie raiding parties, acting on their own initiative, bringing misery to the wretched humans. Elkenbrook was flattened before the sun dipped below the horizon.
94 tighter saddle Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1976 1993 The noose was getting tighter, Pony knew. Elbryan hoisted the woman onto Symphony's back, into the saddle, then placed the boy behind her.
95 squash newcomer Verb Noun UNKNOWN 1977 1994 At that horrible moment, the monster had been lifting its club to squash Elbryan; now it was dead. Then the ranger began his scan again, seeking the newcomer, this skilled fighter, this assassin.
96 skull campfire Noun UNKNOWN 1978 1995 The massive skull cracked with a tremendous sound and the giant slumped to the floor. Elbryan paced about the campfire, looking down often at the map.
97 churn enact Gerund Verb UNKNOWN 1979 1996 Elbryan felt his guts churning and labored for his breath. Using the sunstone he had taken from Quintall, he had enacted a shield against divining magic.
98 consciously vigilant Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 1980 1997 Avelyn took a deep breath, consciously keeping his eyes from the eager gazes of the onlookers. But despite her feelings, Jill kept her vigilant watch, day after day, often long into the night.
99 glimpse tired Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 1981 1998 She saw the image of dead Olwan again, and the last glimpse of her father. Indeed he was tired from the previous day's labors, but so full of excitement that.
100 ankle sorry Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 1982 1999 He was in a forest, he understood - he was ankle deep in fallen leaves. "We of St.-Mere-Abelle are sorry for your loss," he said to Jayson Desbris.
101 hack patience Verb Noun UNKNOWN B1 1983 2000 His thoughts came back in a terrifying rush and he tore free his sword and began hacking wildly, cutting the goblin again and again. Bestesbulzibar had little patience with that.

104
105

He considered the gold leaf highlighting the carved hardwood of the room's support beams, the rich rug from some exotic land, the cushiony chairs, the many baubles and trinkets on his vast bookshelf, every one of them worth more gold than a common laborer would make in a year.
81 intended vesper Verb Plural UNKNOWN 2061 2080 Back left, back right, each time the angle shifting to defeat the intended attack. Only the call to vespers, the ceremony heralding eventide, had interrupted Avelyn's frantic pace.

90 smart evident Adjective UNKNOWN 2069 2089 Jill thought of some smart remark about the tavern being a public place, but she held her tongue and merely nodded, offering a warm smile. None of that was evident in the dark, stocky man.

11 increasingly surprisingly Adverb UNKNOWN 2310 Even the extra privileges did little to improve the mood of the increasingly surly crew.

19 bowyer bleed Noun Verb UNKNOWN 2318 This would be Joycenevial's first human task since Mather, and, since the bowyer was aged even by elven standards, most likely his last. Her fingers bled, she felt the heat growing behind her, but she dug on desperately.

27 logs befit Noun UNKNOWN 2324 2326 Empty logs, gray with ash, stretched away in the gloom. Siherton's features befit his rank of class overseer, the disciplinarian of the newest brothers.
28 reminder ominously Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 2325 2327 Still, despite the prominent reminders of his position, Elbryan's smile was genuine. His face was sharp and hawkish, his eyes small and dark - and smaller still on those many occasions that he squinted ominously at his young students.
29 preparedness surprised Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 2326 2328 The man was obviously out of his mind, or at least he appeared so, but to Jill, who had spent a year and a half in the Coastpoint Guards, a cry for preparedness and virtue did not seem like such a bad thing.

30 riding initial Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B2 2327 2329 These suspicions were bolstered by the snatches of conversation Jill caught, words of a contingent of Kingsmen riding hard to the east. As he had said to her on his initial visit, it was not his place to judge her.

36 kosio wife Noun UNKNOWN 2343 2335 "He is Kos-kosio Begulne,-" Maiyer Dek offered. How good a wife might she be, after all, when she wasn't even sure who she really was?
37 pragmatic bless Adjective Verb C1 UNKNOWN 2344 2336 He had never spoken openly against Avelyn's decision, but privately the pragmatic man had wondered if his son wasn't merely throwing his life away. "I am sure that it has no equal and know that I am truly blessed in carrying it.

9 history prow Noun UNKNOWN 2808 Half a year - not so long a time as measured by the elves of Caer'alfar, a mere moment in the long history of Belli'mar Joycenevial, father of Juraviel. The barrelboat was moving much more swiftly than it appeared, for it cut no prow wake, as did the Windrunner.
10 musing store Noun UNKNOWN 2809 Of course Avelyn would not protest aloud, and even his silent musings were washed away as the heavy door opened silently, on balanced and oiled hinges, to reveal the greatest splendor of all.

The words were not spoken in the common tongue of Honce-the-Bear but in the singsong, melodious language of the elves, a language Elbryan was already beginning to comprehend. "Who are your best swimmers?" Quintall asked, moving up to the captain.
16 combined loincloth Verb Noun UNKNOWN 2815 There was something most sacred, yet particularly unmysterious, and thus unholy, in all of this, a tingling of ecstasy combined with a slightly foul taste that Avelyn Desbris could not ignore.

17 regularly dorsal Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 2816 He had been coming into Caer'alfar regularly since the turn of the year, and now the elves hardly gave him a thought as he walked in. A second, smaller dorsal fin joined the first in its tightening ring.

22 sets taking Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 2821 Carved into the roof were four arms, two sets, hands lifted high, palms open and holding stones. He ran forward and slid down to the deck, scrambling fast and taking the ruby from his mouth.
23 commanding limp Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 2822 He pictured the hematite as another living being, commanding him, whispering promises of power into his spiritual ear. He looked much better, seeming his old bouncy self, except for a slight limp.
24 blurt dangle Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 2823 "You will have a hard time catching that one again!" Avelyn blurted, trying to ease his own tension. But they got him up to the rail, Quintall grabbing Pellimar and hauling the man onto the deck, Avelyn dangling dangerously low.
25 dry dissipate Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 2824 For the first time since they had entered the room, there was no reverence in Master Jojonah's voice, just the dry lecturing tone of an instructor. The excitement on the Windrunner did not dissipate until the powries were left far behind.
26 amazing bunch Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 2825 The sight was no less amazing to Pellimar, who had never seen a powrie up close: The dwarf stood just over four feet, with gangly arms and legs that seemed too skinny to support its barrel-like torso. The folk of Dundalis were, a hardy bunch, not shying from the occasional fight.

90 desertion amazing Singular Adjective UNKNOWN 3062 3089 The master understood the man's desperation, despite the fact that Avelyn's crimes and subsequent desertion were not without precedent.

2 statue numb Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3201 Along one wall stood a gigantic statue, fifteen feet or more, dressed in a heavy leather jacket, trimmed in fur and set with spiked metal plates and heavy iron rings. Master Wink-and-Slap twisted his face at her again and gave a breathless burst of laughter, his throat no doubt numb from the drink.
3 dramatically tow Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3202 He resisted, and the hematite receded dramatically, almost forcing him from the trance. Cat caught the word "whore," and then she was not surprised to see Graevis, several of the other regulars in tow, crossing the room, their faces suddenly grim.
4 gruesome inspired Adjective UNKNOWN 3203 Spurred by the gruesome sight, she attacked fiercely. The young woman made her way around the back of the inn, down a dark alley that inspired no fear, and up a gutter, to the one section of Fellowship Way's roof that was not slanted.
5 coat mast Noun UNKNOWN 3204 Its limbs were slender and long and its armor a silver shining coat of fine interlocking links. Then came the long journey, tagging along with a merchant caravan that had swapped crafted items to the people of the small frontier village in exchange for pelts and great trees that would be used as masts for the sailing ships built in Palmaris.
6 similarly exist Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3205 He calmed quickly, though, seeing that all of his classmates were similarly entranced and that the Father Abbot and the other ranking monks seemed not to care. Did such a thing as the Halo even exist, or was her memory a mere fantasy?
7 accomplishment slug Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3206 And, in the end, it is a sense of accomplishment, of purpose, and not the wealth attained by such accomplishment, that equates to fulfillment and happiness. She slapped away his grabbing hands, then slugged him twice in the face.
8 fewer channel Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3207 Every passing day, danger from the goblins seemed more and more remote; every passing day, fewer and fewer men and women went out of the town to walk a patrol. She let all the tears and all the unanswered screams come out, channeled them into a level of violence that the drunk could not have foreseen.
9 wariness gag Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3208 For the adults, the specter of the goblins brought a sobering wariness and then a troublesome distraction. It was a dagger, small but nasty, and thrown perfectly to hit the gagged and bound woman right in the throat, just under her jawbone.
10 realm salute Noun UNKNOWN 3209 Even Elbryan, who would be entering the realm of adults that coming spring, had spent almost all the previous week with his head up a dirty chimney. "Some hero I prove to be," the man said, bringing his sword back in a salute to the young woman.
11 respectfully rooftop Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3210 Each of this group nodded respectfully at his younger counterparts as he passed them on the rim; some mentioned that Elbryan's patrols would serve as their vital liaison with the village proper.

12 compliment righteousness Noun UNKNOWN 3211 After that exchange of compliments, even the passing of endless uneventful hours could not dampen the thrill for the youngsters. Were the fifteen Holy Orders of God, the rules of righteousness, truly God inspired, or were they merely rules of keeping order within a civilized society?
13 team civilize Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3212 Elbryan continued his diligent work, though, reorganizing the routes to cover more ground since he was down to three teams of five, with a couple of messengers. Were the fifteen Holy Orders of God, the rules of righteousness, truly God inspired, or were they merely rules of keeping order within a civilized society?
14 uneventfully formally Adverb UNKNOWN 3213 Another week passed by uneventfully. She had no idea how to proceed - Avelyn had not formally trained her with this most dangerous of stones - but she knew that she must try.
15 crumble charter Verb UNKNOWN 3214 Elbryan was watching his first command crumbling about him, his soldiers being taken away so that they could help patch roofs or shore up barns. Avelyn and Thagraine had been formally named as the Preparers, the two monks who would leave the chartered ship and go onto the island of Pimaninicuit to collect and prepare the stones, while Quintall and Pellimar would remain aboard, going onto the island only should one of the chosen pair falter.
16 sympathize leverage Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3215 Brother Justice understood this, though he hardly sympathized. The man was impossibly strong, his stocky frame and low center of gravity giving him the leverage he needed to punish Avelyn endlessly.
17 luster unsettling Noun UNKNOWN 3216 Elbryan had that same impish quality about him as Mather, a love and luster of life, lurking just below the surface. Elbryan lifted his eyes at that unsettling notion, looked at the sky as if he expected the dactyl demon to be swooping upon him even then.
18 absolutely ferocious Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN 3217 Markwart needed to be absolutely certain. When she wouldn't - couldn't - tell him anything about the staff-wielding stranger who had intervened in the inn, the ferocious monk had beaten her again, and now one of her eyes was swollen closed.
19 dizzy disease Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3218 He felt warm suddenly, a bit dizzy, a bit frightened. He feared that the bear was in the grip of some disease, perhaps, or was wounded.
20 thrilled isle Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3219 Elbryan was terrified and thrilled all at once. What Avelyn focused on, therefore, was the destination, the isle itself.
21 dearest cease Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3220 This was his Pony, his dearest friend, the girl - no, the young woman - whom he had grown to love. Even after the showers ceased, the pair would have to wait some time before handling the heated stones, and then the work would be too furious and desperate to pause and contemplate God.
22 urgency supporting Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3221 The kiss shifted, from curiosity to urgency, then back to gentleness. Elbryan countered by letting go of his staff with his top hand, rolling it under the blocking arm, then grabbing it and sweeping low for the monk's supporting leg.
23 warmer stud Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3222 Though the air was chill, Elbryan had the feeling he would be warmer without them. And the dactyl made even finer protection for its four chieftains, great magical bracers, studded with spikes, that would protect the wearer from the blows of any weapon.
24 shocked garment Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3223 Other people walked into the small clearing then, dirty, many with wounds, and all with that hollow, shocked expression showing that they had just come through hell.

25 formerly crop Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3224 The creature flexed its great wings and settled back in the throne it had shaped from the obsidian that had formerly served as its tomb. He was dirty and gray, his hair cropped short and badly trimmed, and his beard untended.

27 expectation glisten Plural Verb UNKNOWN 3226 It was too unreal, too beyond their experience and expectations. The ceremony began before dawn, intensified as the sun glistened on the horizon across the waters, then went on and on, one prayer after another, each song louder than the previous.
28 fatal curt Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3227 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. Adjonas gave a curt nod, and Quintall paced by him, the other three monks in tow.
29 grayish skittish Adjective UNKNOWN 3228 Elbryan saw the bright red gash, the white of split bone, the grayish brain. And to a deer, perhaps the most skittish creature of all ...
30 labored twitch Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 3229 Elbryan felt his guts churning and labored for his breath. The deer's head came up, ears twitching, scanning; Elbryan's smile vanished.
31 sob vanish Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3230 She took a moment to consider where she was, whose house this was, and she stifled a sob. The deer's head came up, ears twitching, scanning; Elbryan's smile vanished.
32 raging phrase Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3231 "No time for that," she scolded herself, and she focused on the battle raging on the road. The young man knew all the word's, all the common phrases, now, after five years in Andur'Blough Inninness, and only his inflections still needed perfecting.
33 sag uneven Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3232 The young man shifted to a sitting position and sagged on the wet ground. Elbryan was expected to bathe daily, to keep his clothing clean, and since his beard was splotchy and uneven, not yet that of a man, to keep his face clean shaven.
34 anymore elude Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3233 There were no lines of defense anymore, no organized pockets of resistance. Elbryan held steady his breath, paying close attention, for though he could understand the melodic language, many individual words might elude him if he was not careful.
35 grotesque stealth Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3234 Dots of red, like grotesque chicken pox, covered the giant's face and arms. He forgot all about his game of surprising the pair then, and used his stealth ability to extract himself from the area, return to his tree house - which was closer to the ground than the sky - to shave and to prepare himself for his next sparring session, one he suddenly intended to win.
36 charging fury Noun UNKNOWN 3235 As it rounded the corner, the girl snapped back her elbow with all her strength, catching the charging creature right under the chin. "And you," Elbryan answered, and on he came, full of fury and determination.
37 lad clockwise Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3236 The call brought the sprinting lad to a skidding halt. He had to anticipate, and so he did, flipping his spear over one hand counterclockwise and then back again, then again clockwise, then back the other way.
38 vomit pressing Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3237 Elbryan grimaced, and Carley whimpered and nearly vomited, when Elbryan's hand brushed against the broken tip of a spear jutting from Carley's side. At this point, Tallareyish was playing white, pressing the attack, but Elbryan meant to reverse that.
39 pointy reasonable Adjective UNKNOWN 3238 The ugly goblin face, all twisted teeth and long pointy nose, was barely inches from Elbryan's face, and closer still when the creature began to butt the boy. The fellow had his huge axe out in front of him, and if Elbryan couldn't offer a reasonable answer, there was little doubt what he meant to do with it.
40 butt diva Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3239 He pulled her hands out wide, and she used the opening to head-butt him again. Something daring, even desperate, like the shadow dive Tallareyish had used to defeat him.
41 brutally timing Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3240 Elbryan at first tried to defend himself but when that seemed futile, went on the offensive instead, brutally turning and twisting his blade. "You executed the plant of your staff on hip perfectly, and your step timing was without error.
42 wrought permanent Verb Adjective UNKNOWN B2 3241 He crawled out from under the thing, but kept on attacking it, savagely, primally, his blows wrought of sheer terror. Elbryan had come to think of his life with the elves as a permanent arrangement, had figured that he would live in Andur'Blough Inninness for the rest of his mortal days.
43 overrule greeting Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3242 Wisdom overruled his rage, though, and he stayed hidden and let them pass. Again, he was more than polite, the perfect gentleman, not pressuring Cat to even so much as offer a greeting to him.
44 buzz slyly Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3243 The whole village had buzzed about the house because Olwan Wyndon was laying a stone foundation. Cat-the-Stray tried to ignore the whispers and the sidelong glances, but even Pettibwa, cheery cheeked and grinning slyly, caught Cat's gaze and nodded her head in the man's direction more than once.
45 swiped contemptuously Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3244 A third soldier drew sword and swiped out one of the table legs, bringing the friar tumbling down atop the poor second man who had been reaching for him. "Cat-the-Stray is her name," Grady said, eyeing the young woman somewhat contemptuously.
46 battles heartily Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3245 But the giant had seen the move dozens of times in its battles with little folk. The mighty centaur laughed heartily.
47 scores virtue Noun UNKNOWN 3246 Scores and scores of small arrows, filling the air all about him! "By my heart, my remark referred not at all to your virtue, which I would not question," Connor went on sincerely.
48 rotation coolly Singular Adverb UNKNOWN 3247 They broke their line often, individual elves leaping into pirouettes or simply following steps of their own choosing, but in general the rotation continued about Elbryan. "I had not noticed," Cat replied coolly, not returning the hug and trying hard to keep her expression blank as Pettibwa jumped back to arm's length.
49 tallest meself Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3248 Quintall was the shortest man in the class of twenty-five, while Avelyn was among the tallest. "You embarrassed me." "Meself?" Pettibwa said innocently.
aching Adjective UNKNOWN 3249 Jojonah held the diamond close to Avelyn, and the young monk felt its warmth flowing into his aching, frozen form.
impatient Adjective UNKNOWN 3250 The stunned man stammered, taking too long for the impatient monk's comfort.
portly Adverb UNKNOWN 3251 She stood up and offered her hand, helping the portly monk to his feet.
speck Noun UNKNOWN 3252 He turned his fingers gently to flick a speck of mud from her cheek, though his gaze never left her shining blue eyes.
squint Verb UNKNOWN 3253 His face was sharp and hawkish, his eyes small and dark - and smaller still on those many occasions that he squinted ominously at his young students.
50 chore innocently Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3254 3249 In addition to their daily duties as first - and second - year students at the abbey, they were given the extra chores of preparation for their journey to Pimaninicuit. "You embarrassed me." "Meself?" Pettibwa said innocently.
51 involved bawdy Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3255 3250 Siherton wondered, and he wondered, too, about the potential danger of having one so devout getting involved with the precious stones. Why, ye act like no man's a good man!" The woman gave a bawdy wink.
52 lust jiggle Verb UNKNOWN 3256 3251 And, because of that passion, because of worldly lusts, a man who could be controlled. "It's all so natural." She hooked one finger in the cleavage of Cat's dress, pulled the dress lower, and shook her hand about, so that the young woman's breasts jiggled.
53 lure highly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3257 3252 If Jill ventured into that tight place, if this man was out here to lure her in, she would likely find, herself in grabby quarters indeed. Lodestone was highly magnetic; its enchantment would send it fast to a metal surface.
54 declaration riotously Singular Adverb UNKNOWN 3258 3253 It was her glory that I join the Abellican Church, and I would be stealing that glory if I left now." He sucked in his breath, bolstering his declaration. The dwarf was telling some rowdy story, the two goblins laughing riotously at every grotesque detail.
55 commission nobility Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3259 3254 That thought shook Jojonah as he looked around at his decorated chamber, at the beautiful tapestry he had commissioned from the gallery of Porvon dan Guardinio, among the most respected artists in all the world. Perhaps her ascension into local nobility would even raise their own station in life, and Jill would treasure that above all else.
56 gallery sensual Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3260 3255 Brother Avelyn, too, ignored Tol Yuganick's cheering gallery. They represented another side of the girl, a womanly side, sensual, sexual - a part that Cat's free and girlish spirit was not yet ready to admit.
57 respected sexual Adjective UNKNOWN 3261 3256 How much he loved her, admired her, respected her! Thagraine's perception of his sexual past was indeed accurate.
58 artist avenue Noun UNKNOWN 3262 3257 He wanted to kneel and pray; he wanted to ask who the artist - or artists; for certainly no one man could have created all of this - might be, but realized before the words left his mouth that any name would be inconsequential, for certainly the carvers and illuminators who had done this had done so at the explicit intervention of God. Tuntun's only avenue of escape was straight down to the ground, and so she took it unceremoniously.
59 retire lash Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3263 3258 That night, Avelyn retired to his room, thoroughly exhausted, both emotionally and physically. She wanted to lash out at Avelyn at that moment, but she could not deny his last words.
60 demanding crestfallen Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3264 3259 He went at once to the captain, demanding an explanation. "No," she replied, and his expression became crestfallen.
61 volunteer fathom Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3265 3260 He had spent all his waking hours at demanding work, volunteering for the most difficult parts of each task. But the old sea dog couldn't fathom the level of physical training these four men had endured.
62 herald scratch Gerund Verb UNKNOWN 3266 3261 Only the call to vespers, the ceremony heralding eventide, had interrupted Avelyn's frantic pace. Both swordsmen came in fast; the goblin swished the spear back and forth, the weapon's sharp tip scratching Cries arm and holding him at bay.
63 flood regal Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3267 3262 Images of his mother flooded his thoughts; he wondered if he might see a vision of her now, a visitation of her spirit before it went to its place in heaven. The twitchy little man looked across the open deck, past the staring eyes of the crewmen, to the tall, regal figure of Captain Adjonas.
64 disappointment dispute Singular Verb UNKNOWN 3268 3263 She wasn't, to Avelyn's ultimate disappointment. This was Adjonas' ship, that Quintall did not dispute, but the abbey had paid well for this transport and the brothers had not been put aboard as slaves.
65 crying unintelligible Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3269 3264 The ceremony went off perfectly solemn yet joyous, ladies crying, men standing tall and handsome. The fat man sputtered something unintelligible and turned away, waving his hand dismissively.
66 oval potentially Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3270 3265 Scenes of the Halo, the heavenly gift, enwrapping all the others, an oval because of the angle at which it was portrayed. The bond was immediate and secure, the four monks putting aside their personal squabbles in light of potentially more dangerous enemies.
67 portal raider Noun UNKNOWN 3271 3266 Beyond this portal, Avelyn saw a huge room, braced by columns and lit by the orange flow of molten stone. "But the southern kingdom has little control over its raiders," Adjonas explained.
68 latch belowdecks Noun UNKNOWN 3272 3267 Avelyn blinked; amid the wonders of the door, he hadn't even noticed the huge latch! Quintall returned to them much later that evening, belowdecks in the closet-sized.
69 oil weird Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3273 3268 At night, they huddled together around oil lamps and candles, trying to ward off the chill. There was something weird about his smile, Avelyn noted, something misplaced..
70 interior misplace Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3274 3269 They were far below ground in one of the abbey's interior chambers, so there could be no window. There was something weird about his smile, Avelyn noted, something misplaced..
71 cloudless patient Adjective UNKNOWN 3275 3270 But there was indeed light inside that room, such a light as to make Avelyn think of a cloudless midsummer day. Pellimar, though, was not so patient.
72 practically vainly Adverb UNKNOWN 3276 3271 Jojonah moved into the room, Avelyn practically stumbling behind him. She focused all her strength, trying vainly to invite the man in, trying vainly to facilitate the joining.
73 crystalline damp Adjective UNKNOWN 3277 3272 Avelyn studied the way the light worked off the many facets of the diamonds, how it seemed to delve within the stone itself, swirling down to crystalline depths. She tried to straighten her still-damp clothes, but realized that she would be conspicuous indeed to any, walking as she was without boots, and without the dirtied, calloused feet of a peasant woman.
74 astronomical accurate Adjective UNKNOWN B2 3278 3273 They studied the Halo, the charts that determined the astronomical data which would indicate the time of the showers. Thagraine's perception of his sexual past was indeed accurate.
75 girdle sanction Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3279 3274 Perhaps he would shine in the heavens above, a fifth light on the girdle of Progos-Behemoth! Avelyn remembered the speech Master Jojonah had given him when first they had talked about the island, the stern warning that to utter even its name to any without sanction of Father Abbot Markwart was punishable by death, and he agreed with Quintall's logic.
76 groove briskly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3280 3275 Looking closer, Avelyn noted grooves in the wall. She jumped when he briskly entered, pulling the covers from her bed up before her.
77 offering viewpoint Noun Plural UNKNOWN 3281 3276 Master Jojonah had called the stone showers "offerings," and to Avelyn, that description seemed exactly wrong. Avelyn considered the sight from two widely disparate viewpoints.
78 lever dumb Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3282 3277 Jill did see that a detachment of six soldiers was at the catapult, three working the levers, three desperately trying to hold a handful of powries at bay. His words, the sincerity of his tone, struck her dumb.
79 star inhabitant Noun UNKNOWN 3283 3278 It was up on that rooftop, under a sky that was streaked by clouds and stars, that Connor first mentioned the prospect of marriage. Even the vivid, bright colors of the clothing of Entel's inhabitants struck the four as unusual.
80 somberly oar Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3284 3279 Bradwarden nodded somberly, and Elbryan scooped up Hawkwing and ran off into the night, behind the departing powrie, though the ranger held faith that Avelyn would know how to deal with the dwarf. Finally came the welcome sound of oars and the boat, all three safely aboard.
81 heavier unfamiliar Adjective UNKNOWN 3285 3280 It was heavier than Avelyn had expected, quite solid and dense. Even as he explored this unfamiliar use of hematite, he gave to Jill his understanding of the stories - and it was so easy!
82 effortlessly companionship Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3286 3281 He understood the command and willed himself off the ground, drifting effortlessly toward the ceiling. It wasn't that he craved human companionship; he continued to fear that thought greatly.
83 whispering keenly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3287 3282 To the left came a titter, a tiny voice whispering softly. His sense of order was simply too strong, his sense of right and wrong too keenly developed.
84 fancy union Adjective Plural UNKNOWN 3288 3283 There was indeed a mystery here that no tumble of fancy words could lay bare; there was something here of a higher order. A physical union she could not abide - not with this man, not with Connor!
85 tenfold marker Noun UNKNOWN 3289 3284 He glanced around the room again, from stone to stone, his reverence of these gifts from God tenfold what it had been when first he had entered the chamber. This moment, so many years in the waiting, was the marker of the end of that relationship with the girl, the beginning of the new and deeper relationship with the woman.
86 hidden upstart Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3290 3285 When he was gone, Master Jojonah replaced the stones, closed the case, then went to the wall and moved the hidden switch to lock it fast. He had not battled Tuntun in many weeks; he was determined now to give the upstart elf a bit of a surprise.
87 slanting overhand Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3291 3286 As soon as they cleared that last copse, they saw an entrance, a great gaping hole, defying the slanting rays of the westering sun. He started with an overhand, underhand parry sweep again, but instead of catching the staff with his left hand as it came swishing back to horizontal, he turned his right hand over once more.
88 partially partly Adverb UNKNOWN 3292 3287 Pettibwa left Fellowship Way to her, even partially, Grady would not be pleased. His success was partly gained by surprise.
89 multitude rapidly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3293 3288 And then came the next long pause, lying on the ground on her back, her thoughts swirling down a multitude of paths, every one of which seemed to lead to no place but despair. Chipmunk nodded so rapidly that he bit his tongue.
90 crushed tiring Adjective UNKNOWN 3294 3289 Goblins and powries scattered or were crushed beneath the charge, a hundred wild horses stampeding along the ravine. With a growl, Avelyn pushed on, finally reaching the tiring Quintall.
91 fearing plop Noun PastTense UNKNOWN 3295 3290 And then she could look no more, fearing that she would find Thomas Ault, her father dear, among the dead. Her breath came out in a rush as she plopped down hard, the staff's butt end secure against the ground, its tip stabbing hard into her chest between her lowest ribs.
92 investigate apple Infinitive Noun B2 UNKNOWN 3296 3291 Pony thought she should go closer to investigate, but she hadn't the stomach. The row of trees, short and wide apples, ran almost perfectly straight, then jumped back a dozen feet, up a ridge twice an elf's height, and continued on straight again from there.
93 numbness explore Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3297 3292 She stood and stared, and a numbness came over her, stealing her emotions. What he came to understand from that viewpoint was a sense of self he had never before felt free to explore.
94 bravely flourish Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3298 3293 Elbryan could see his father had died bravely, and understanding. He finished with a leaping flourish and landed pointing to the stripe.
95 forceful etch Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3299 3294 He was broad shouldered and strong, forceful in manner as he was in speech. For Juraviel's anxiety was clearly etched on his fine features - how could it have been otherwise when he had been speaking to his protégé Elbryan about this very subject not a week's time past?
96 stiffen occurrence Verb Singular UNKNOWN 3300 3295 The elf straightened and stiffened, and leaned forward over the lunging boy's head and shoulders. Gradually, as he came to see the light in Jill's eyes every time he entered the Way - a more and more common occurrence - the proud young man began to understand and accept that her problem was within the mysteries of her past and not with him.
97 predict Verb UNKNOWN 3296 The reaction of Pettibwa and Graevis to the news of the marriage was not hard to predict.

2 juice knocking Noun UNKNOWN 3401 Quite a bit of juice might be ruined, but Juraviel figured the loss was worth it. Elbryan swept his staff out to the left, knocking aside a club strike, then back to the right, parrying a sword.
3 fluidity begrudge Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3402 Her gait enhanced that perception as well, for she walked with ease and fluidity, always balanced. Elbryan didn't really begrudge the man his excitement, though.
4 recognizable swath Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3403 The monk's body was hardly recognizable, a charred, smoldering thing.

23 slug stolen Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3422 She slapped away his grabbing hands, then slugged him twice in the face.

24 channel coldness Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3423 She let all the tears and all the unanswered screams come out, channeled them into a level of violence that the drunk could not have foreseen. Jojonah watched him go, shuddering at the sheer coldness of the man's aura.
25 gag difficulty Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3424 It was a dagger, small but nasty, and thrown perfectly to hit the gagged and bound woman right in the throat, just under her jawbone.

Jill first tried to dislodge the grapnel, but found that it was too tightly secured, with too much weight on the heavy line.

30 emptiness deafen Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3537 3529 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. The dactyl's shriek echoed all through the tunnel maze of Aida, deafened the four friends, and made them reach for their ears.
31 intimacy somber Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3538 3530 The issue of physical intimacy did not come up between them during those weeks, for both of them had found a more special intimacy, far more satisfying. Squat towers anchored every turn in the wall; narrow windows showed that the place was built for somber reflection and defense.
32 starboard wistful Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3539 3531 "Whale to starboard!" the lookout cried a moment later. Of alb the places in the area, only Elbryan's private grove was more beautiful than the pine vale and the caribou moss, and none elicited more wistful memories from the young woman.
33 damnation trepidation Singular UNKNOWN C1 3540 3532 "Damnation," Avelyn sputtered, and he scrambled with all speed back to the shelter of the cave. His intrigue was fast shifting to trepidation now, as he got the distinct feeling that he had stumbled on to something potentially dangerous.

35 minds scrutinize Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3542 3534 Suddenly, the archers had more on their minds than the woman in the water. Avelyn scrutinized the broach carefully.
36 favorite Noun A2 3535 Master Jojonah talked constantly, though he said nothing of interest - slight remarks about the weather, a storm that had hit twenty years before, the passing of his favorite baker in the town of St.-Mere-Abelle, a surprisingly off-color remark about the man's "lusty" wife.
37 cook Noun A2 3536 True to his words, Bradwarden allowed Elbryan to start a fire and cook his venison, while the centaur ate his portion, nearly a quarter of the deer, raw.

79 cargo expedition Noun Singular UNKNOWN 3543 3578 He did not wake up until long after the dawn, his precious cargo intact in his pack. This would be the last time he remained behind when the hunters went off on the season's last and most important expedition.
80 tarry comer Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3544 3579 Avelyn blanched, so did Thagraine and Pellimar, but Quintall only let out a low growl and tarried his gaze back in the direction of the distant powrie ship. Elbryan moved up to the comer of the next house, smiling for his cleverness, and peered around.
81 tail male Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3545 3580 But the powries tailed her; the lookout called down repeatedly, his tone growing thick with frustration and fear, that the barrelboat was keeping pace, was even beginning to close a bit.

84 ensue involuntarily Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3552 3583 A long moment of silence ensued, all five - the three humans, Juraviel, and Tuntun - feeling the weight of confirmation.

85 threatened reflexively Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3553 3584 That the Order should be threatened by the piety of a young monk was something Master Jojonah could not come to terms with. She reflexively cocked a fist, and Elbryan wisely jumped back.
86 plea excite Singular Verb UNKNOWN 3554 3585 "We're too far out," he said to his captain, his plea sounding as a whine. Finally, Chipmunk caught up to his friend, but he was too excited to explain in words.

88 supplies perceptible Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3556 3587 Finally, he and Thagraine, carrying their supplies, slipped down the rope off the side of the Windrunner into the boat, Pimaninicuit looming large before them. It floated through-the chill air, barely perceptible.
89 withstand dell Noun UNKNOWN 3557 3588 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. Juraviel let him lead often and corrected him whenever he went wrong - which was not often any longer - and soon the pair came into the low dell called Caer'alfar: Elvenhome.
90 accusation exhilarating Singular Adjective UNKNOWN 3558 3589 "Do you think that you belong in Dundalis?" the man asked bluntly, again the words sounding like an accusation, or a threat. It was loud and rushing, exhilarating.
91 purplish spirituality Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3559 3590 The hundreds of purplish rings converged in the middle of the room. There is more to spirituality than piety, my friend.
92 gaping theirs Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3560 3591 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. No, it was his experience and Pony's - theirs alone.
93 splatter shapely Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3561 3592 One fireball hit against the village's east wall, splattering the two men standing nearby with burning pitch. She was in her mid-teens, but had the shapely body of a woman five years older.

95 dramatic assessment Adjective Noun B2 UNKNOWN 3563 3594 Only then did Avelyn take the time to note that dramatic change that had come over Pimaninicuit. "How many thousands must we defeat even to reach its black rocky base?" Elbryan shook his head determinedly, somehow sure his companion's assessment was not correct.
96 unyielding elk Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3564 3595 Gofflaw growled at her, but under Jill's unyielding glare, he replaced his sword in its sheath. The hunters would return with carcasses - elk, caribou, or white-tailed deer - slung on shoulder poles, and it seemed to the watching pair as if this hunt had been successful indeed!
97 retain disintegrate Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3565 3596 But his orders concerning Pimaninicuit had been explicit and unyielding: only those stones treated to retain their magic could be brought from the island. Their patience fast disintegrated; they leaped out together, running fast down the steeper slope, picking their angle to intercept the returning troop.
98 store southeast Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3566 3597 Avelyn could not discern the purpose of the magic, except to note that there was a tremendous amount of energy stored within those crystals. "The sun is in the southeast," Elbryan reminded Pony, squaring his shoulders as he took command of the situation.
99 grumbling northeast Adjective UNKNOWN 3567 3598 Aside from Paulson's typical grumbling, he caught no direction to their conversation. "The hunters approach from the northeast, so all we have to do is keep the sun just behind our right shoulders." It seemed logical enough to Pony, so she.
100 emerald buck Noun UNKNOWN 3568 3599 At the first town he entered, he happened upon a caravan of several merchant wagons, and there he sold the common emerald, giving him all the funds he would need for a long, long time. He screamed out and tried to buck, the force and dive ahead, arm extended, Tempest leading.
101 remorse stock Noun UNKNOWN 3569 3600 But to kill without remorse? Expressions ran from excitement to awkward fear to blank amazement as the villagers took stock of the kills, especially the last carcass on the shoulder poles, a smallish humanoid form.

10 sighting Noun UNKNOWN 3609 The raid on Dundalis, the sightings of goblins and even giants, the evidence of many, earthquakes to the north of Andur'Blough Inninness - all pointed to the resurgence of the dactyl.
11 intervene Verb UNKNOWN 3610 When she wouldn't - couldn't - tell him anything about the staff-wielding stranger who had intervened in the inn, the ferocious monk had beaten her again, and now one of her eyes was swollen closed.
12 supper Noun UNKNOWN 3611 "Better suited for the common house, after a supper of venison stew." 0lwan nodded and the crowd gradually dispersed, one person taking a last, long look at the goblin, which was indeed fast turning gray.
13 disperse Verb UNKNOWN 3612 But Avelyn's expression of joy, of victory, was short-lived, for the stone could not contain such energy, and it threw it out, dispersed as green smoke into the air, the sheer force of the expulsion throwing Elbryan and Avelyn backward into Pony and Bradwarden, the resulting smoke filling the corridor.

18 drinking doubtfully Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3661 3617 He was downstairs soon enough, drinking and talking amid a huge crowd, for many of the area trappers had come in to lay in provisions in preparation of the coming winter.

19 grapnel intone Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3662 3618 Jill first tried to dislodge the grapnel, but found that it was too tightly secured, with too much weight on the heavy line. "Piety, dignity, poverty," the old father abbot, Dalebert Markwart, intoned in his nasal voice.
20 swinging intertwine Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3663 3619 Elbryan grabbed up Tempest in both hands and surged ahead, swinging an. The horse angled near a second elm, its branches intertwined with the one near the giant, and Elbryan leaped away, running, surefooted, along one rain-slicked limb.

24 straggler certainty Plural Noun UNKNOWN 3667 3623 Jill found herself circumventing the town and approaching it from the west, not from the east the way any stragglers fleeing Pireth Tulme would.

25 avenge sibling Noun UNKNOWN 3668 3624 She nodded to herself; she should go out and join the force, should go to Pireth Tulme to avenge - The thought hit Jill like a cold slap. His next youngest sibling was seven years his senior, and so he wasn't really close to any of them.
26 dire senior Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3669 3625 Before she entered, a familiar voice, raised in dire warning, assaulted her. His next youngest sibling was seven years his senior, and so he wasn't really close to any of them.

28 assistance selfish Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3671 3627 But it was too late; he had pushed past the fear and into the realm of anger, and when the barkeep called for assistance, the man found no shortage of volunteers.

29 sourly grinding Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN 3672 3628 "Ho, ho, what!" Jill regarded him sourly, then rose and offered an arm. A grinding sound, the great gates sliding open, brought the young man from his contemplations.
30 rent unified Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3673 3629 Would Avelyn, who held the stones as most sacred, rent out their powers? Now the creature saw the time to organize its forces fully; to begin its unified attacks.
31 using unintentional Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3674 3630 Pony was quick to one, wrapping him in a heavy blanket, and Avelyn got to the other, using the serpentine effectively. Avelyn heard the slaps of wood, the unintentional groans, even an occasional cry from the younger students near the front.

33 frail Adjective UNKNOWN 3632 He couldn't say that to frail Annalisa, he knew.

35 overlapping Adjective UNKNOWN 3634 Suits of armor of various designs stood as silent sentinels, every type from the overlapping wooden plates of the ancient Behrenese to the strong metal-plate mail designed for Honce-the-Bear's Allheart Brigade, the personal guards of the King - whoever that might be at the moment.

41 idealistic Adjective UNKNOWN 3640 All that the gentle and idealistic young man wanted was to serve God, to foster peace, to heal, and to comfort.
42 mirth hoard Noun UNKNOWN 3675 3641 Elbryan joined in, but the mirth was ended when a streaking line of fire cut across the sky, a ball of flaming pitch, soaring for Weedy Meadow.

43 images outweigh Verb UNKNOWN 3676 3642 More images came rushing to her as soon as she sat in the nook of those pines. To Avelyn Desbris, nothing in all the world, not the treasures of a dragon's hoard, nor the powers of a king, could outweigh that accomplishment.
44 ensure troublesome Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3677 3643 The big man, supposedly in search of firewood, looked back over his broad shoulders often, Elbryan noted, obviously trying to ensure that he was not' being followed. For the adults, the specter of the goblins brought a sobering wariness and then a troublesome distraction.
45 complicated lively Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3678 3644 For Elbryan, though, the trapper's tale was more complicated. The moment ended all too soon, Cat-the-Stray tuning back to the bustle of the lively room about her.
46 detect cautious Infinitive Adjective UNKNOWN 3679 3645 The one obvious lead fruitless, Brother Justice had to turn to his magic, to the carbuncle, a stone also called Dragon Sight for its ability to detect things magical.

47 thereafter rust Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3680 3646 Their hopes were bolstered shortly thereafter when they heard a voice - Avelyn's voice - cursing the demon, then crying out in pain. Pony left Avelyn's side then, rusting to join with Elbryan.

62 plausible swarming Adjective UNKNOWN 3685 3661 But Brother Justice needed the merchant, as well, or at least it seemed plausible that the man might aid the monk in his all-important quest. The couple jumped apart and to their feet, staring wide-eyed down the long slope to the village, at the swarming forms, at the large plume of smoke - too large to come from any chimney!
63 wry initiative Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3686 3662 Elbryan gave a wry smile, but it couldn't last. This was an action of a rogue goblin chieftain, perhaps, or one of the many powrie raiding parties, acting on their own initiative, bringing misery to the wretched humans.

69 tutor facing Noun UNKNOWN 3692 3668 CHAPTER 31 Home Again, Home Again Over the next couple of weeks, as they marched along the trails, Avelyn showed Jill just how much he had come to trust her, for he began formally tutoring her in the ways of the stones. And by Elbryan's measure, Avelyn's bravery in all that he had done - in taking the stones and fleeing St.-Mere-Abelle, in facing Brother Justice, and in aiding against the monsters-was above question.

8 dome testament Noun UNKNOWN 3741 3707 He moved slowly and carefully about the field, building domes of snow the size of his two cupped hands. His stubbornness held for many minutes, a testament to the young man's strong willpower.
9 extinguish cushiony Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3742 3708 The fire on that particular dwarf was indeed extinguished as a huge booted foot crushed the diminutive creature flat. He considered the gold leaf highlighting the carved hardwood of the room's support beams, the rich rug from some exotic land, the cushiony chairs, the many baubles and trinkets on his vast bookshelf, every one of them worth more gold than a common laborer would make in a year.
10 sanctuary trinket Noun UNKNOWN 3743 3709 The three trappers were at a loss; Brother Avelyn could think of no sanctuary closer than St. The sailors cared nothing for this all-important mission, Avelyn realized, beyond their payment of gold - and whatever other trinkets Father Abbot Markwart had included in the bargain.
11 rotted richly Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3744 3710 Now his hit did indeed sting the zombie, the sword tearing a deep gash in the rotted flesh, smacking hard against a rib.

12 patches adorn Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3745 3711 They continued on their way, struggling past broken stones and through patches of warm ash hip deep, hoping for some answer.

14 slush altogether Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3747 3713 A drenching rain fell all about the region, turning the last of the snow to slush and softening the ground. Elbryan dismissed the notion altogether; he was on the eastern edge of the Moorlands by now, not so far from human settlements.
15 invading stool Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3748 3714 While their lives certainly became more comfortable, their nights no longer spent so closely huddled to a fire that their eyebrows singed, winter's relaxed grip offered the invading monsters even more mobility. He went quietly to the service, then skipped his evening meal altogether and went right to his chamber, a five-foot-square cubicle with a single stool, which doubled as a table for Avelyn's candle, and a cot - little more than a flat board and a blanket - that folded down from one wall.
16 occupied farewell Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3749 3715 Elbryan started to ponder that possibility, then noted the goblin's attention was occupied by something back along Elbryan's path.

17 advancing leak Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3750 3716 "The folk of Landsdown are on the road south ahead of the advancing monsters," Juraviel explained. He felt the first tears leaking from his eyes and tried to deny them.

18 unsteady deserving Adjective UNKNOWN 3754 3717 Summoning every ounce of his remaining strength, Elbryan managed to pull away from Pony, taking two unsteady steps toward Bradwarden, meaning to help with the door.

19 gust generous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3755 3718 After the gust, the heat remained. The Abellican Church, the ancient scriptures, promised heaven to those deserving, and who could be more deserving than gentle and generous Annalisa Desbris?
20 cracking sniffle Noun UNKNOWN 3756 3719 He came forward in a rush, Tempest driving in hard and straight, striking hard; cracking through the black shell and diving into the monster's magma interior. Still the tears came; every so often his even tone was broken by a sniffle or a sob.
21 devour compose Verb UNKNOWN 3757 3720 Not a sound came from about the beast as, clothing and all, the dactyl devoured the torn skin of Gothra. Finally, after more than an hour, Avelyn composed himself and sat back on the cot, taking several deep breaths to fight away the last of the sobs.
22 scour splendor Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3758 3721 Lower went the demon, and slower, turning tight circles, sharp eyes scouring the terrain, keen ears tuning to every sound. Avelyn tried to keep his head bowed, his eyes to the floor, as befitted his lowly station, but he couldn't help notice some of the splendors that surrounded him as he followed Master Jojonah through the winding corridors of the Abbot's Maze, the most private and revered place in all of St.-Mere-Abelle, and one that a first-year novice would certainly not expect to visit.

24 enwrap Gerund UNKNOWN 3723 Scenes of the Halo, the heavenly gift, enwrapping all the others, an oval because of the angle at which it was portrayed.
25 unfold Verb UNKNOWN 3724 And on the way, as Avelyn's eyes scanned, it seemed to him as if the history of the world, of the faith, unfolded to him, the images packed so that one led to another easily, with enough distinction so that each made an impact, however brief, like the flowing of time.
26 distinction Singular UNKNOWN 3725 Smealy as he had drowned the powrie, without distinction of the fact that the victim this time was not an evil dwarf but a human being.

28 blasphemous Adjective UNKNOWN 3727 For Avelyn, this was a most sacred mission, the most important duty of the Abellican Church, and to profane it so by indulging in a shipboard orgy, was surely blasphemous.

32 goodly Adverb UNKNOWN 3731 "The Ring Stones are the source of all goodly magic," Master Jojonah explained.
33 soil Noun UNKNOWN 3732 The upheaval was recent, that much was perfectly clear, for the soil on the torn side of the ridge was loose and deep brown, pocked here and there by a root, but with no fresh, aboveground growth.
34 ecstasy Noun UNKNOWN 3733 There was something most sacred, yet particularly unmysterious, and thus unholy, in all of this, a tingling of ecstasy combined with a slightly foul taste that Avelyn Desbris could not ignore.
35 arcing Adjective UNKNOWN 3734 Elbryan let fly a wide-arcing left hook as he spun back toward the elf.
36 sphere Noun UNKNOWN 3735 At first he thought them the borders of the known spheres, for he had heard theories of the universe as a series of overlapping, interlocking heavenly spheres, the invisible bubbles that held the layers of stars in place.
37 unlock Verb UNKNOWN 3736 Jill had never even heard of the magic stones before, let alone used one, but now she felt as if she could handle them fairly well, as if their secrets had been unlocked to her in the blink of an eye.

40 tile Noun UNKNOWN 3739 He marveled at the loose structure of the wood, at the density of the higher room's tile floor.

50 guttural Adjective UNKNOWN 3749 But nothing else came to her - not the whimper of a survivor, not the whining, grating voice of a goblin, not the guttural grunts of the fomorian giants.
51 serenity decidedly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3759 3750 It was a cruel lie: the quiet, the serenity, the spring breeze. They had no idea if that passage down below led anywhere, after all, and the eight-foot leap would be decidedly more difficult coming up the angled walkway.
52 jutting sunlight Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3760 3751 He noted a movement up above, a dark shape coming atop the jutting rock. He found that he believed her, and he walked back out into the sunlight truly relieved, but not in the way that the others, particularly Quintall, could ever have guessed.
53 crackling thickly Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN 3761 3752 Pony's graphite defeated that maneuver, though, sent a crackling bolt of energy along the monster's inner thighs that left it swaying, legs widespread, as the woman worked her way out the back.

54 fade preferable Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3762 3753 Within a few minutes, each of these movements would cease, the lava gradually rolling over itself or gathering in a depression, and then quickly cooling, its glow fading to blackness. For the boy who had just witnessed such carnage and loss, the semiconscious state was preferable.
55 deafen tearing Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3763 3754 The dactyl's shriek echoed all through the tunnel maze of Aida, deafened the four friends, and made them reach for their ears. Elbryan jerked fiercely, once and then again, the tearing jolts straightening the agonized fomorian.
56 somber crushed Adjective C1 UNKNOWN 3764 3755 Squat towers anchored every turn in the wall; narrow windows showed that the place was built for somber reflection and defense. Goblins and powries scattered or were crushed beneath the charge, a hundred wild horses stampeding along the ravine.
57 wistful vulture Adjective Plural C1 UNKNOWN 3765 3756 Of alb the places in the area, only Elbryan's private grove was more beautiful than the pine vale and the caribou moss, and none elicited more wistful memories from the young woman.

58 trepidation circling Singular Adjective C1 UNKNOWN 3766 3757 His intrigue was fast shifting to trepidation now, as he got the distinct feeling that he had stumbled on to something potentially dangerous.

59 sullen peck Adjective Gerund C1 UNKNOWN 3767 3758 "Soggy and sullen," she said aloud, and nodded, thinking that a fitting description of all her life. Surely all the world had fallen to ruin; surely all the people were dead, were being pecked and torn by vultures.

61 favorite span Noun A2 UNKNOWN 3769 3760 Master Jojonah talked constantly, though he said nothing of interest - slight remarks about the weather, a storm that had hit twenty years before, the passing of his favorite baker in the town of St.-Mere-Abelle, a surprisingly off-color remark about the man's "lusty" wife. In the span of a few unbelievable minutes, Elbryan's entire world had been thrown down.

64 cook slack Noun A2 UNKNOWN 3772 3763 True to his words, Bradwarden allowed Elbryan to start a fire and cook his venison, while the centaur ate his portion, nearly a quarter of the deer, raw. His face ashen, his heart pounding - - but offering no energy to arms that hung slack at his side or to legs that seemed suddenly as if they each weighed a hundred pounds - the young man, feeling very much a little lost boy, walked home.
65 lucky threshold Adjective Noun A2 UNKNOWN 3773 3764 "Three shots at a time, and they're likely to get lucky," Avelyn remarked. On the charred threshold of one ruin, he saw a tiny corpse, a blackened ball.

92 canine security Plural Noun UNKNOWN 3800 3791 The demon extended its fingernails, transformed them into hooked claws, and grew its teeth-two pointed canines extending down over its bottom lip. There was security in that, Avelyn came to realize, but also responsibility.

53 disgustedly noisily Adverb UNKNOWN 3906 3952 "Please allow me to continue my duties." Jojonah looked to Siherton, who was shaking his head disgustedly.

54 smallest crusty Adjective UNKNOWN 3907 3953 "And all but the smallest of our group is larger than a goblin," she replied without hesitation, and that truth seemed to lend some credence to her reasoning.

55 vain jealous Adjective UNKNOWN 3908 3954 If he won now, then his friends, all of them, would not have died in vain.

60 joyful moot Adjective UNKNOWN 3912 3959 Again, the fears passed, lost in a swirl of warmth as he looked at Pony's shining blue eyes, at her smile, as genuine and joyful as anything Elbryan had ever seen. The point was moot, anyway, for Elbryan never got close to touching the elusive deer.

63 swarming fumbling Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3915 3962 The couple jumped apart and to their feet, staring wide-eyed down the long slope to the village, at the swarming forms, at the large plume of smoke - too large to come from any chimney!

64 initiative session Noun Plural UNKNOWN 3916 3963 This was an action of a rogue goblin chieftain, perhaps, or one of the many powrie raiding parties, acting on their own initiative, bringing misery to the wretched humans. 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!
65 tomb chat Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3917 3964 The creature flexed its great wings and settled back in the throne it had shaped from the obsidian that had formerly served as its tomb.

67 catastrophe lodging Noun UNKNOWN 3921 3966 The rules of survival, taught to every child in Wilderlands settlements, declared that the first priority in any catastrophe was to save the village. Elbryan moved grudgingly to his lodging, a low, wide house on the bottom boughs of a thick-limbed elm.
68 facing sneakily Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3922 3967 And by Elbryan's measure, Avelyn's bravery in all that he had done - in taking the stones and fleeing St.-Mere-Abelle, in facing Brother Justice, and in aiding against the monsters-was above question. Elbryan smiled sneakily and went into a crouch.
69 falter shave Verb UNKNOWN 3923 3968 Without hesitation, for if he paused, he knew his courage surely would falter, Elbryan slipped out from behind the protection of the tree: Half walking, half crawling, he moved closer to the goblin, quickly covering a third of the distance. Even his head was bare, for his superiors had shaved it.
70 clobber feint Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3924 3969 He clobbered yet another goblin, bashing in its ugly skull, then raised his arm and called out, trying to rally the others.

71 valiant counterclockwise Adjective UNKNOWN 3925 3970 And then Olwan came flying back into sight, falling in a broken heap on the road right in the midst of the valiant fighters.

74 skidding yelling Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3928 3973 The call brought the sprinting lad to a skidding halt.

75 ashen kidney Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3929 3974 Carley dan Aubrey, one of the younger scouts, staggered toward him, his face ashen, both hands clenched firmly to his right side at his waist. He flinched as he straightened and grabbed at his kidney.

82 sideway frustrated Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3936 3981 He managed to turn sideways, and from that perspective could see the giant's club rise up over its head.

83 choke acquaint Gerund Verb UNKNOWN 3937 3982 In an instant, the powrie had her on her back and was choking her hard. "I believe that you are acquainted with my ..." Grady fished for the right word, and Cat; blushing fiercely, wanted to smack him on the back of the head.
84 divide proportion Verb Singular UNKNOWN 3938 3983 The class had been divided by birth dates; Avelyn and Quintall had been put, together solely because they had been born in the same week, and not for compatibility, either physical or emotional. Everything about her seemed to fit perfectly - her nose, eyes, and mouth in perfect proportion, her legs and arms long and slender but certainly not skinny.
85 date gait Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3939 3984 The class had been divided by birth dates; Avelyn and Quintall had been put, together solely because they had been born in the same week, and not for compatibility, either physical or emotional. Her gait enhanced that perception as well, for she walked with ease and fluidity, always balanced.

93 gauge toothy Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3947 3992 "Avelyn is the best of the class," Jojonah remarked, mostly to gauge Siherton's reaction. The older woman clapped her pudgy hands before her, her toothy smile nearly taking in her ears.

dedication Singular UNKNOWN 3949 It was true enough; Avelyn's incredible dedication was fast becoming the talk of St.-Mere-Abelle.

amiss Noun UNKNOWN 3951 Jojonah looked back at the courtyard, to Avelyn at work as always as though nothing was amiss.
macabre Adjective UNKNOWN 3952 He tried to keep a mental note of his macabre collection, tried to match it against the people of Dundalis by sorting their names house by house.

inhumanity Noun UNKNOWN 3954 Was it, as Siherton insisted, the young man's apparent inhumanity?

stairwell Noun UNKNOWN 3956 Jill looked straight ahead as she made for the door to the stairwell that would get her down to her room.
figuring Noun UNKNOWN 3957 So Elbryan stood back from it all, figuring it to be one of those dangers for the villagers to work out on their own.

96 cushiony vaguely Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3967 3995 He considered the gold leaf highlighting the carved hardwood of the room's support beams, the rich rug from some exotic land, the cushiony chairs, the many baubles and trinkets on his vast bookshelf, every one of them worth more gold than a common laborer would make in a year. Strange emotions swirled in Cat as he lightly touched her arm, vaguely familiar feelings but ones she had not felt in several years.
97 chairs happiness Noun UNKNOWN 3968 3996 He considered the gold leaf highlighting the carved hardwood of the room's support beams, the rich rug from some exotic land, the cushiony chairs, the many baubles and trinkets on his vast bookshelf, every one of them worth more gold than a common laborer would make in a year. And so it was with a true jumble of emotions, a purely teenage churning of confusion, fear and warmth, happiness and the verge of terror, that the young woman, no longer Cat-the-Stray, drifted off to a sleep of the sweetest dreams and the starkest nightmares.
98 trinket endure Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3969 3997 The sailors cared nothing for this all-important mission, Avelyn realized, beyond their payment of gold - and whatever other trinkets Father Abbot Markwart had included in the bargain. But the old sea dog couldn't fathom the level of physical training these four men had endured.
99 richly crewman Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3970 3998 Jojonah glanced around the room again, reminding himself that most of the other masters, even some of the tenth-year immaculates, had chambers more richly adorned.

101 pragmatism slave Noun UNKNOWN 3972 4000 But pragmatism, too, should be part of that pledge, so said Father Abbot Markwart, and so had declared the abbey's. This was Adjonas' ship, that Quintall did not dispute, but the abbey had paid well for this transport and the brothers had not been put aboard as slaves.

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.
20 foreseen broadsword Noun UNKNOWN 4219 Even worse for the powries, though neither Adjonas nor any other aboard the Windrunner could have foreseen it, the drifting barrelboat appeared remarkably like a wounded whale to the crazed sharks. Of the six, only one was still accounted for, a huge broadsword named Icebreaker, wielded by a rarely seen ranger, Andacanavar, in the far northland of Alpinador.
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.

22 ashamed northland PastTense Noun UNKNOWN 4221 And she was not ashamed, not embarrassed, and no black wings of horrors past swept up about her. Of the six, only one was still accounted for, a huge broadsword named Icebreaker, wielded by a rarely seen ranger, Andacanavar, in the far northland of Alpinador.
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. They broke their line often, individual elves leaping into pirouettes or simply following steps of their own choosing, but in general the rotation continued about Elbryan.
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.
texts Noun UNKNOWN 4231 From the texts he had studied, he conjured images of lush gardens and' exotic flowers, pictured himself standing in a garden with multicolored stones raining down around him, divine music playing in the air.
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. The land was relatively flat and brown, with sparse low shrubs poking here and there.
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. Elbryan caught the staff firmly in his left hand and extended that arm out in similar fashion so that the other flanking goblin was poked away.
43 hitting Noun UNKNOWN 4242 Seeing that creature in full flight, Elbryan stabbed the staff back out hard to his left, hitting the dazed and battered goblin right in the face.

49 bell farmhouse Noun UNKNOWN 4244 4248 The bells of the abbey pealed repeatedly, drawing curious onlookers from the nearby village of St.-Mere-Abelle. A black bear had attacked a farmhouse and that alone was enough of a mystery to force the ranger to investigate.
50 peal vent Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 4245 4249 The bells of the abbey pealed repeatedly, drawing curious onlookers from the nearby village of 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. He feared that he would find foamy saliva there, an indication of the most wicked disease.
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.
55 extent sappy Noun Adjective B2 UNKNOWN 4250 4254 The young man paused then to consider the extent of his progress. Elbryan recognized the black, sappy poison, a pain - inducing product of a rare black birch tree.

58 clumsy camouflage Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4252 4257 Elbryan had learned to walk nearly silently - though he still thought himself clumsy when measured against the graceful elves! Slowly Brother Justice closed, using bodies as camouflage.
59 observe stealthily Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 4253 4258 He had learned to observe the world through the senses of each animal, understood now each creature's fears and needs.

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.
61 exclaim concoction Verb Singular UNKNOWN 4255 4260 "Elu touise!" Juraviel exclaimed and patted the young man on the back.

63 fumbling bringing Noun UNKNOWN 4257 4262 Even the pursuit seemed left behind, the fumbling giants not keeping pace. He fell away and Elbryan came up hard, bringing Hawkwing horizontal above his head in both hands to catch the downward chop of the second man's sword.
64 gains restrain Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4258 4263 He tried to keep a perspective on his gains. Again the monk restrained his feeling of outrage that this man - this simple, pitiful, wretched merchant could speak of Father Abbot Markwart as if he were the man's equal.
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.

84 infamous Adjective UNKNOWN 4283 The demon dactyl had been awake for several years, watching, feeling every slaughter of humans in the Wilderlands, tasting the blood of every corpse into which a powrie dipped its infamous cap, hearing the screams of sailors and passengers as each scuttled ship went under the swells of the merciless Mirianic.
85 passenger Noun UNKNOWN 4284 The demon dactyl had been awake for several years, watching, feeling every slaughter of humans in the Wilderlands, tasting the blood of every corpse into which a powrie dipped its infamous cap, hearing the screams of sailors and passengers as each scuttled ship went under the swells of the merciless Mirianic.
86 merciless Adjective UNKNOWN 4285 The villages had been captured, that was true, but too few humans had been killed, and this mysterious Nightbird and his friends were wreaking havoc on every supply group that came down from the north, something the merciless dactyl had certainly noticed - the arrival of the spirit who called himself Brother Justice confirmed that fact.
87 plat Verb UNKNOWN 4286 Bradwarden's heavy bow, swung as a club, rang off the plated armor, splintering as it hit.
88 lodging underling Noun UNKNOWN 4262 4287 Elbryan moved grudgingly to his lodging, a low, wide house on the bottom boughs of a thick-limbed elm.

89 sneakily lair Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 4263 4288 Elbryan smiled sneakily and went into a crouch. The passages forked many times, and they had to choose, without any guidance other than their own perceptions of where they might be and where the demon's lair was likely situated.

92 encounters renegade Noun UNKNOWN 4266 4291 After his first few encounters with the surly elf, Elbryan had wondered what it was that so prompted her desire to punish. And he did not desire to leave behind any legacy of failure=including the existence of the renegade Avelyn.

96 counterclockwise seeking Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4270 4295 He had to anticipate, and so he did, flipping his spear over one hand counterclockwise and then back again, then again clockwise, then back the other way.

98 twirling piper Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4272 4297 He hardly saw the elf's attacks, but he took comfort in the clicking sounds as the twirling pole picked off each one. "Bradwarden the Piper," the man answered proudly.

96 helplessness unwanted Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 4376 4395 The centaur understood what the man was feeling, the sense of his own loss those years before and the helplessness now in the face of a repeat of that disaster.

2 concert lord Noun UNKNOWN 4401 Powries and sharks worked in concert, so it was said, but apparently there were limits to such friendship. He studied the man in the distant corner, the one Tol had referred to sarcastically as "our lord protector," with new interest.
3 untangle protecting Verb Noun UNKNOWN 4402 No powrie would dare go into the water to try and untangle the netted fan with frenzied sharks so close. Ye're smart enough to see that Pony needs little protecting."

8 vow herb Noun UNKNOWN 4407 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.

9 hostile swerved Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4408 Perhaps it was the boredom, the heat, or the tasteless provisions, but the crew grew increasingly uneasy, even hostile.

10 rational affair Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4409 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.

Elbryan sighed wearily.
15 conical dimly Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN 4414 And beyond the masses loomed a single dark silhouette, a conical mountain tipped by a steady stream of dark smoke.

17 luxury vine Noun Plural UNKNOWN 4416 To keep them out now, with land so close and inviting - land likely covered with fruit trees and other luxuries they had not known on the open sea - was foolhardy indeed. Elbryan took the torch with him as he pushed aside the vines and entered the inner chamber.
18 mentally powerfully Adverb UNKNOWN 4417 Finally, Elbryan found that crease between breastplate and girdle, mentally marking the spot. Elbryan jammed one end of Hawkwing into the dirt and swept the staff powerfully across in front of him, left to right, deflecting the blow.

putting Noun UNKNOWN 4438 "But first, ye got to do something for me." As she finished talking, she leaned closer, putting her lips to his.

28 ballista interference Noun Singular UNKNOWN 4445 4427 The barrage intensified, more pitch, great heavy stones, and giant ballista bolts battering the ill-fated craft. The horse knew things simply, without the interference of reason that was the domain of men, elves, and the higher races.
29 reef jostle Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4446 4428 He watched helplessly; hopelessly, as the ship that had been his home for nearly eight months jolted and listed, then broke apart on the reef as still more missiles soared in.

34 fanciful corkscrew Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4479 4433 "And the memories of fanciful musing," Juraviel added.

39 purposefully diving Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 4484 4438 The tracks were surely those of a medium-sized bear, but Elbryan felt as if he were tracking a fomorian giant or some other evil, reasoning creature, some creature purposefully bent on destruction.

40 adjusted hatchet Verb Noun UNKNOWN 4485 4439 His eyes gradually adjusted so that he could just barely make out the larger shapes in the room. The ranger dropped Hawkwing, reached behind him to his pack, and tore free his hatchet.

50 drunken unleash Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 4495 4449 She wasn't particularly afraid; she didn't think the drunken slob would even get to her before he fell off the narrow walkway, dropping the eight feet to the fortress's small courtyard. The stone; as if it were something sentient, had called to the monk on that day when he had presented it to Elbryan and Symphony, and Avelyn, who had floated down the face of a cliff, who had walked on water and unleashed tremendous fireballs, who had held the power of a thunderstorm in his puny, mortal hands, would not discount any possibilities of its God-given power.
51 slob abandoned Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 4496 4450 But he was a letch, a drooling, grabby slob, who took it personally when Jill refused his advances. Pony and Elbryan spent a long and quiet moment together, ending it wordlessly with a kiss that passed as a promise from Elbryan to the woman that she would not be abandoned, and as a promise from Pony that she and those who would leave would be ready when the moment of opportunity was upon them.
52 walkway reassure Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4497 4451 She wasn't particularly afraid; she didn't think the drunken slob would even get to her before he fell off the narrow walkway, dropping the eight feet to the fortress's small courtyard.

53 outwardly ignorance Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 4498 4452 Brother Justice hardly paid the man any heed - at least outwardly. The goblins' ignorance saved the creatures' lives that night, for death was barely an arm's length away; more important, the goblins' ignorance also saved Elbryan's plan.
54 conspiracy fro Noun UNKNOWN 4499 4453 Even worse, for him to be out here fetching her, there was likely a conspiracy inside. The sky brightened to a dull gray shortly before the dawn, another lazy snowstorm dropping scattered flakes that floated to and fro during their descent.

He put a hand on Elbryan's shoulder and gave the man a sincere, admiring look.
56 smother Verb UNKNOWN 4455 It slammed into a young tree, snapping branches and stumbling, but held its balance - stupidly, for the ground offered its only chance of smothering the flames - and ran on.
