3 chuckle ill Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 702 23 16 Belli'mar Juraviel suppressed a chuckle, for he liked seeing Tuntun flustered. Thagraine was most ill at ease, pacing, stalking, and muttering to himself.
4 sacred suppose Adjective Verb UNKNOWN A2 703 23 16 To hear his fellow monks speaking of something as sacred as love in such crude terms did surprise and offend him. At peace, I suppose, and probably with Pony, and that is a fate about which no man could complain.
5 ruby clench Noun PastTense UNKNOWN A2 704 23 16 Malachite, amber, serpentine, ruby, in that order. The young man stared at him wide-eyed with hope and eagerness, his hands clenching and opening at his sides.
6 sometimes nowhere Adverb A2 705 22 16 Soft blues and purples, vivid oranges and sometimes a deep crimson lined the night sky, lifting hearts and spirits. Jill instinctively recoiled, but she had nowhere to hide.
7 bite taste Noun A2 706 22 16 It wasn't difficult to imagine the power of the creature's bite or the pain of getting free from those nasty teeth. Not that many humans had ever tasted the elixir, for the elves did not deal openly in the juice.
8 confuse deal Verb B1 A2 707 22 16 When the giant was within one huge stride, Elbryan leaped out, trying to confuse it with sheer savagery. Not that many humans had ever tasted the elixir, for the elves did not deal openly in the juice.

10 general earn Adjective Verb B1 A2 709 22 16 The monk was soon again back on the road, riding steadily and making a general course to the north. Another sported a heavy axe, while the last earned a slender sword.
11 poke glowing Gerund Adjective UNKNOWN A2 710 22 16 The dactyl's ears were pointed as well, poking up about the demon creature's thin tuft of black hair. Juraviel remained at the glowing fire pit until all had gone, his eyes ever skyward, looking for the blackest of forms.

13 shelter wicked Verb Adjective UNKNOWN B1 712 22 16 When the showers arrived, he and his fellow Preparer would be hidden underground, sheltered from the pelting meteors. Smealy turned a wicked grin on the captain.

15 hunt judge Verb UNKNOWN B1 714 22 16 Next spring, Elbryan would hunt with the adults, the games of his youth left behind. How will they judge me twenty years hence, a mere day by an elf's measure?.

17 blink leading Verb Adjective UNKNOWN B1 716 22 16 Smealy never blinked and didn't dare look away from the dangerous monk until he was halfway across the deck.

24 range fortress Noun UNKNOWN B1 723 22 16 The conditioning ranged from sleep deprivation to long periods of hunger. Pireth Tulme, and apparently all the other Coastpoint fortresses, were far from the stoic bastions of their reputation.

27 middle evergreen Noun UNKNOWN 726 22 16 Jojonah pointed to a case near to the middle of the room, and motioned for Avelyn to approach it. It bothered Elbryan, too, for the scarring of the evergreens made no sense.

29 state monastery Verb Noun UNKNOWN 728 22 16 For the boy who had just witnessed such carnage and loss, the semiconscious state was preferable. Many merchants in Ursal likely possessed stones; the monastery was not averse to selling them.
30 monstrous chant Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 729 22 16 One group in particular, a pile of many monstrous corpses together in the road, posed a curious riddle. The master closed his eyes and began to softly chant.
31 ball bloody Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 730 22 16 Over the rail the pitch ball went, taking the three powries with it. Then he stalked after them, his bloody sword in his bloody hand, hoping one of the creatures would stray from its friends.

34 tragedy hesitate Noun Verb UNKNOWN B2 733 22 16 Elbryan winced at the reference to the tragedy of Dundalis. Modesty caused Elbryan to hesitate, but Tuntun wasn't in the mood for a debate.
35 knock blur Verb Noun UNKNOWN 734 22 16 Then back left, then left again, knocking wide the creature's club arm. The sun seemed a gray blur above him, a lighter spot in the sky.
36 pursuit pitiful Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 735 22 16 Tallareyish turned in pursuit and came forward, one step, left foot. Thagraine spotted him then, a hopeful, pitiful, smile widening on his bloody face.
37 warning swipe Noun Verb UNKNOWN 736 22 16 Would the people of that village have heeded his warnings? A series of swipes, stabs, and forward strides put Elbryan in the desired position.
38 music handle Noun A2 B2 737 21 16 Then they heard a distant piping, soft music, perfect melody. Cat suffered his insults, but couldn't dismiss the realization that Pettibwa would have handled it differently, better.
39 listen satisfy Verb A2 B2 738 21 16 As he listened, Avelyn felt the mystery melting around him. For in the Ring Stones, the young man found his ideals satisfied.
40 emotion attempt Plural Noun B1 B2 739 21 16 Panic hit him, wrestling hard with a jumble of other emotions that Elbryan did not understand. Avelyn realized then that an attempt at possession was akin to fighting an enemy on his home ground.
41 terrible smack Adjective Verb B1 UNKNOWN 740 21 16 Pony paused, searching for the threat of terrible memories. A shift of the angle sent his staff poking straight up, smacking the man's groin.
42 bother damned Verb Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 741 21 16 What was it about Avelyn that really bothered Siherton? He remembered Avelyn, damned Avelyn, and the rivalry.

44 kingdom delicate Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 743 21 16 Even the children of the Alpinadoran frontier - and most of the still - wild kingdom was considered frontier! Elbryan wondered, having no explanation of who or what those delicate winged creatures might be.
45 flight fierce Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 744 21 16 At the last moment, the arrow turned in mid-flight, thudding hard into a tree. On the main road of Dundalis, just on the other side of this house, a fierce battle raged.

50 openly grave Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 749 21 16 Not that many humans had ever tasted the elixir, for the elves did not deal openly in the juice. Quintall's expression grew suddenly grave at the sight of the imposing ranger.
51 fiercely consciousness Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 750 21 16 Elbryan tugged more fiercely with his other hand instead, increasing the pace of the roll. A soft melody vibrated in his ear, somewhere just below his consciousness.

58 cloak act Verb UNKNOWN A2 757 21 15 The elves prodded and pushed him, finally getting him out of his low tree house wearing only a cloak and a loincloth. It surprised Elbryan that adults would act that way, especially considering the gravity of the situation.
59 robe king Noun UNKNOWN A2 758 21 15 Avelyn's brown robes were tattered and dripping; he had the stench of burned hair about him. 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.

74 sunstone wink Noun Verb UNKNOWN B1 773 21 15 The monk quickly took out his yellow sunstone, falling immediately into its defensive magic. He looked at Pony and winked, and was surprised when she returned the gesture with a serious frown.
75 boulder remaining Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B1 774 21 15 Elbryan glanced both ways, then, figuring that the paths converged just the other side of the boulder, went right.

83 afraid flash Adjective Verb B1 B2 782 20 15 Again the young monk could only shrug helplessly, wanting to know but afraid to know. Elbryan rolled to one knee quickly and brought the sword flashing across, severing the plant at exactly the stripe.

91 gentleman topple Noun Verb UNKNOWN B2 1790 8 6 Again, he was more than polite, the perfect gentleman, not pressuring Cat to even so much as offer a greeting to him. And she looked at the dwarf, not understanding until the powrie toppled forward, an arrow deep in its back.
92 alley taffrail Noun UNKNOWN 1791 8 6 Jill left the alley hurriedly, thinking to go back to her room across town. Now at the taffrail the four monks and Captain Adjonas watched the powries' progress.

98 accuse flap Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 1797 8 6 How dare he accuse Elbryan and Pony, if that was indeed what he was doing. Soon Jill's hands were flapping inconsequentially at the powrie's barrel-like torso, her strength fast deserting her.

42 arid nick Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1941 7 5 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.

66 balanced scoop Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1965 7 5 When he got there, Juraviel handed him a full pack, a fine knife strapped on one side, a balanced hand axe on the other. The centaur tapped one powrie on the head, then scooped up the dazed dwarf and dropped it into a sack.
67 swoon dan Noun UNKNOWN 1966 7 5 What young woman would not swoon at the mere thought of such a day? Carley dan Aubrey's whimper brought him back to his senses.

75 whale puny Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 1974 7 5 Moments of excitement - a whale spout, the flight of a dolphin beside the prow, a run of bluefish churning white the water - came all too rarely and lasted barely seconds, to be inevitably replaced by the emptiness of the open sea. With a yelp, Avelyn skipped to the side, bringing the puny sword up defensively.
76 spout volley Noun UNKNOWN 1975 7 5 Avelyn was in the tavern, as usual, standing atop a table, spouting warnings and curses. Few folk remained on the wall when the second volley roared in, for they were engaged in tending wounded, in battling flames, and shoring up defensive barricades.

78 flaming befit Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 1977 7 5 Even as Adjonas spoke, a flaming quarrel arched over the taffrail of the Windrunner, slashing into the rear sail. Siherton's features befit his rank of class overseer, the disciplinarian of the newest brothers.
79 finished debate Adjective Noun UNKNOWN B2 1978 7 5 Quintall was shaking his head before Adjonas even finished. True enough, Siherton had to admit, and he understood that he would not win any debate he might wage against the selection of Avelyn as one of the Preparers.
80 sturdy initial Adjective UNKNOWN B2 1979 7 5 Elbryan looked at his weapons, so ineffective against the sturdy powrie. Avelyn's lack of initial response to the news that his mother had died had lent credence to Siherton's complaints.

82 hillside needed Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 1981 7 5 Elbryan skipped down one tree-covered hillside, into a narrow vale and to the edge of a rushing river. Jojonah's explanation for the tour had been weak, some remark about an area that needed cleaning.

89 waterskin unconscious Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B2 1988 7 5 Instinctively, the ranger's hand went to his waterskin, and he found it less than half full. Jilseponie understood then that she had been unconscious for a long time.

2 cache sparkling Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2501 5 3 We know the tricks Avelyn used to escape, and his cache of magic stones is considerable. When Pony's eyes showed sadness, Elbryan felt it in his heart; when they soared with sparkling joy, Elbryan's feet moved involuntarily in dance.
3 equine blank Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2502 5 3 From further down the valley, Symphony charged in, followed by his equine minions. 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.
4 driving competition Noun Singular UNKNOWN A2 2503 5 3 The powrie slammed her hard from behind, driving her into the bent beam. Pony had told him many times that Kristeena was sweet for him, and the older girl, not viewing a ten-year-old as competition, had been charmed by the thought.
5 propel underground Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2504 5 3 Pony floated up as she went, grabbing the branches of trees and propelling herself along. When the showers arrived, he and his fellow Preparer would be hidden underground, sheltered from the pelting meteors.
6 sleeping sweetness Noun UNKNOWN A2 2505 5 3 Both elves nodded and slipped quietly out of the tent, past the sleeping soldiers and the alert guards without a whisper, seeming to all about as no more than windblown leaves or the shadow of a bird. The sweetness was there, but somehow just out of Jill's reach.
7 boom grayish Verb Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2506 5 3 "Ho, ho, what!" the centaur boomed in a fair imitation of Avelyn. Elbryan saw the bright red gash, the white of split bone, the grayish brain.
8 carbuncle anymore Noun Adverb UNKNOWN A2 2507 5 3 What he found instead were two stones intact: a sunstone - which did not surprise Avelyn in the least - and a carbuncle. There were no lines of defense anymore, no organized pockets of resistance.
9 shortly buzz Adverb Verb UNKNOWN A2 2508 5 3 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. The whole village had buzzed about the house because Olwan Wyndon was laying a stone foundation.
10 fence involve Noun Verb UNKNOWN A2 2509 5 3 There was an old, broken-down fence on the northern edge of town, formerly a corral, Jill realized, and beyond it was the slope. Pony, who hadn't been involved in the previous discussion at Avelyn's bedside, seemed not to understand.
11 stealthy gallery Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 2510 5 3 All thoughts of stealthy thievery flew from the fierce ranger's mind. Brother Avelyn, too, ignored Tol Yuganick's cheering gallery.
12 protective cloudless Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2511 5 3 Lady Dasslerond was merciful, the elf knew, but she was, above that, pragmatic and protective of her realm. But there was indeed light inside that room, such a light as to make Avelyn think of a cloudless midsummer day.

15 swoop bravely Gerund Adverb UNKNOWN A2 2514 5 3 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. Elbryan could see his father had died bravely, and understanding.
16 harness weightless Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2515 5 3 The first of the giants came into sight, bending low, pulling hard, a heavy harness strapped across its torso. Every movement forced a countermovement from the weightless behemoth, and so, when the stupid thing brought its club high overhead for a mighty chop, the energy lifted the giant from the ground and tuned it right over in midair, a slow-motion somersault.
17 torment grayness Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2516 5 3 Quintall looked at his demon master; he knew the dactyl had shown him his mortal memories only to torment him. Elbryan sprinted down the slope, back into the grayness, and found a smiling Juraviel waiting for him just a few feet beyond the mist's edge.
18 helm rising Noun UNKNOWN A2 2517 5 3 Out stepped the giant, Togul Dek, still wearing no helm, its huge features twisted with rage. Bunkus Smealy turned about and waved his hand forcefully, quieting the rising murmurs.
19 visor quality Noun UNKNOWN A2 2518 5 3 Tuntun had put her arrow right against a giant's visor, right through the slit! Elbryan had that same impish quality about him as Mather, a love and luster of life, lurking just below the surface.

23 adventure mast Noun A2 2522 4 3 And so he worked, as he was instructed, penning the tale of his adventures in great detail, studying and cataloguing the newest stones, their type, their magic, their strength.

24 hate exist Verb A2 2523 4 3 But many of the hardier plants had kept their summer hue, many flowers still bloomed, and this reedy bog, the one place in all the valley that Elbryan had truly come to hate, had not frozen. Did such a thing as the Halo even exist, or was her memory a mere fantasy?
25 encourage society Verb Noun B1 A2 2524 4 3 The bond had been particularly strong with Annalisa, a humble and spiritual woman, who had encouraged her youngest child to follow the path of God from his earliest recollections.

27 fortune disease Noun B1 A2 2526 4 3 Not one to argue with good fortune, Elbryan scrambled to his feet. Even on successful voyages to Pimaninicuit, more often than not, one or more of the four monks did not return, for disease was a very real fact of life aboard ship.
28 opposite supporting Noun Adjective B1 A2 2527 4 3 But his words hardly seemed to calm Thagraine; quite the opposite, the man, obviously racked with guilt paced all the more furiously, slapping his hands together repeatedly. 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.
29 express background Adjective Noun B1 A2 2528 4 3 But to take humans to Andur'Blough Inninness without the express permission of Lady Dasslerond was indeed a stretch of the Lady's compassion, and Juraviel was not certain that the troop wouldn't simply be turned away; perhaps the paths into the misty valley would be altered and hidden even from Juraviel. He knew it was music, though it seemed too soft, too much in the background for him to actually hear it.
30 compare average Verb Adjective B1 A2 2529 4 3 And now these two fellow brothers were comparing her lovemaking techniques! Though diminutive in stature, they were said to be stronger than an average man and with incredible stamina.
31 talent beating Noun B1 A2 2530 4 3 I will use the stones and all my talents, and all my body in whatever course you set. Elbryan chuckled, not surprised that predictable Tuntun enjoyed issuing the beatings.

33 responsible social Adjective B1 A2 2532 4 3 He hesitated; were these goblins responsible for what their kin had done to Elbryan's home? She would dress in the finest gowns and attend the highest social events in Palmaris, even in Ursal!
34 tangible develop Adjective Verb UNKNOWN A2 2533 4 3 The tangible, corporeal body felt good to the wandering spirit. Jojonah didn't really doubt that - he just wondered why in the name of God such a technique had ever been developed!
35 pool patient Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2534 4 3 Elbryan and Pony looked away, could not watch the final drop into the molten pool, could not witness the end of Tuntun. So he would be patient, would spend his nights walking with Jill and talking.
36 agitate damp Verb Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2535 4 3 Shining, too, were the demon's eyes, pools of liquid black at most times, but shifting to fiery red orbs, living flames, when the demon was agitated, a glow of absolute hatred. 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.
37 hatred predict Noun Verb UNKNOWN A2 2536 4 3 Who will quell the ancient and deep hatred between powrie and goblin when Bestesbulzibar is gone? The reaction of Pettibwa and Graevis to the news of the marriage was not hard to predict.
38 transform suggestion Verb Plural B2 A2 2537 4 3 That relief fast transformed into a sinking feeling as Elbryan realized the meaning of this creature's positioning. Elbryan only smiled, but Bradwarden's suggestion did not seem like such a bad idea.
39 sin gaping Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2538 4 3 Was the dactyl the source of the deadly sins, or did it manifest itself and walk the world when those sins had festered to the point of eruption? 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.
40 lump reduce Verb UNKNOWN A2 2539 4 3 Avelyn froze in place, a lump rising in his throat. The man would be reduced to an instrument of destruction, Avelyn's destruction.
41 dominate hopelessly Verb Adverb B2 A2 2540 4 3 Brother Justice narrowed his eyes, not appreciating the sentiment, the way the foolish merchant tried to dominate him by referring to his superior in such familiar terms. Juraviel sighed and looked hopelessly at his Lady, his guilt obvious upon his fair face.
42 hull seeming Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2541 4 3 The stone wouldn't be nearly strong enough, he realized, to take out the wet barrelboat's sturdy hull. That seeming contradiction had left Elbryan in a quandary.
43 tribe strategy Noun UNKNOWN A2 2542 4 3 It would bring them into its fold, tribe by tribe, race by race, growing as the night grows when the sun touches the western horizon. Every attack and parry angle became ingrained in him; what had been conscious battle strategy melded into a reactive response or an anticipatory strike.
44 stain skyward Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2543 4 3 Elbryan saw the dark stain near those hands. Juraviel remained at the glowing fire pit until all had gone, his eyes ever skyward, looking for the blackest of forms.

49 wolf pulling Noun UNKNOWN A2 2548 4 3 Somewhere in the distance a wolf howled, and another took up the song, and for Elbryan, the music was sweeter now than ever before, than even in those years he had spent in the enchanted elven forest.

50 afford serving Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2549 4 3 Let the younger boys and girls see him then, and afford him the respect he deserved, and let the older men see that the village, under his watchful eye, had fared well in their absence.

51 embarrassment bowling Noun UNKNOWN A2 2550 4 3 Recognizing the boy's ultimate distress and embarrassment, Juraviel generously let the insult pass.

52 covet boil Verb UNKNOWN A2 2551 4 3 Toward his fellow Preparers, young men he would compete against for the coveted two positions of those who would actually step onto the island of Pimaninicuit, Avelyn felt no rivalry. Frustration boiled in the young woman, mingling with desperation.
53 aura chip Noun Verb UNKNOWN A2 2552 4 3 Still, there was a delicate aura about her, a softness that a younger Elbryan had viewed as weakness, but the older Elbryan viewed as oddly distracting. It was merely a diamond chip, useful for saving the candles and oil on long journeys.
54 sponge audience Noun Singular UNKNOWN A2 2553 4 3 Elbryan mastered the intricate movements, every one, soaked them into the sponge he had become and held them fast in his heart, mind, and muscles.

55 inviting sorely Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN A2 2554 4 3 He sensed their softness, so very inviting ... It was risky setting a light in the dark forest, but these folk sorely needed the warmth.
56 sentence secretive Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2555 4 3 That last sentence brought a strange feeling over Elbryan. Not only was her gain exponential, but so was the monk's understanding of this secretive woman - and of her dark past.
57 ascent hammer Noun Verb UNKNOWN A2 2556 4 3 That excitement turned to sheer joy when they passed out of the town and began their ascent of the ridge. The ranger smiled once more as Tol Yuganick attacked again, only to be hammered away.
58 beautifully thief Adverb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2557 4 3 How could anyone, or anything, that could pipe so beautifully pose a danger?

59 carpet stupidly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN A2 2558 4 3 Every time he gazed upon the white carpet, he wanted to take off his shoes and pants and run through it barefoot and bare legged, to feel its softness between his toes and brushing against his shins.

66 sloping reluctantly Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN B1 2565 4 3 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. The cheer went up, and Shane McMichael, a quiet, slender young man just a few years older than Elbryan, reluctantly came forward to stand beside Olwan in front of the blazing hearth: With much prodding, the man was prompted to tell of the fight, of the cunning twist and parry and the straightforward thrust that had come too soon for the goblin to completely dodge.

85 humble conclusion Adjective Noun B2 B1 2584 4 3 The bond had been particularly strong with Annalisa, a humble and spiritual woman, who had encouraged her youngest child to follow the path of God from his earliest recollections.

6 nicker demise Verb Noun UNKNOWN 2905 4 3 The horse nickered and threw back his head. In so pointedly reminding Elbryan and the others of the higher goal, the centaur helped them to put Tuntun's demise in proper perspective.
7 conventional tilt Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 2906 4 3 At first, the monk used the conventional methods, the same lessons that had been given to him in St.-Mere-Abelle. Elbryan tilted back his head, considering the stars, the few rushing clouds.
8 confront tied Verb Adjective B2 UNKNOWN 2907 4 3 She was confronting her past, the monk knew, and he was glad of that, though he wished he could be of more help to the young woman. A quick tug showed Elbryan that it was tied off a short distance up the ledge.
9 underestimate don Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 2908 4 3 But still she feared that his decision was folly, based on his underestimating the pain within her. With a trusting nod, the woman donned the mask, as did Elbryan, the ranger eyeing Pony all the while, admiring her gumption.
10 creak territory Gerund Noun UNKNOWN B2 2909 4 3 As if on cue, the burning catapult creaked again and slanted over farther. However, Elbryan was not in any human settlement, not in any land claimed by his kind, and quite possibly was within the boundaries of goblin territory.
11 kicking justify Adjective Verb UNKNOWN B2 2910 4 3 Those monsters that did make it down found Bradwarden and his cudgel waiting for them, the centaur kicking and smashing with abandon. If that was the case, would he be justified in waging battle with these six?

13 dizzying swath Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 2912 4 3 His power, sheer strength, was dizzying, overwhelming.

14 flurry muzzle Noun UNKNOWN 2913 4 3 Then the ranger went into a flurry: poking, swishing the staff side to side, then pulling it straight across, and alternating a series of heavy blows, left hand leading, right hand leading.

15 descending swordsman Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 2914 4 3 Pony looked to the fight as she rose, saw Elbryan, Hawkwing in one hand, Tempest in the other, jump out of the path of a fast descending club, then leap back suddenly as a sword swished across. Avelyn, grasping at the opening, was quick to retrieve Tempest, but he was no swordsman.
16 dizziness brew Noun Verb UNKNOWN 2915 4 3 It went down hard, groaning, trying to shake the dizziness, growling against the searing pain. What fool brewed such a magic as that?
17 shorten overbalanced Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 2916 4 3 The ranger elbowed through the brawl, blocking punches whenever necessary, felling with three shortened blows yet another villager who tried to pounce upon him. Now he launched his attack, dropping down to one knee, slapping his staff across to catch the inside of the overbalanced man's leg.
18 prop cauldron Verb Noun UNKNOWN 2917 4 3 Less than ten steps into the woods, he heard a single thump, a centaur's kick against a head propped by a tree trunk, and he knew that it was finished. The ranger went around to the back and dumped out the cauldron of poison.

21 scattered accustom Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 2920 4 3 Goblins and powries scattered or were crushed beneath the charge, a hundred wild horses stampeding along the ravine. And Maiyer Dek, among the largest of his giant kind, was not accustomed to being dwarfed.
22 appreciation emblem Singular Noun UNKNOWN 2921 4 3 - bow and a long dagger - and with a final look Symphony's way, a final nod of appreciation, she ran off into the night. The three went back to the trap first, Paulson unceremoniously cutting the goblin down, then slicing off its ears and putting them in a pouch, pausing only to note that the creature was surprisingly well armed for one of its kind and that it wore an insignia on its leather jerkin, a black emblem of a batlike creature on a light gray background.
23 repay stolen Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 2922 4 3 I told you that I meant to repay a debt." The only concern any in St.-Mere-Abelle's hierarchy held about the stolen stones was for the giant amethyst crystal, and that only because it was a stone whose magic they had not yet deciphered.
24 afore ramble Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 2923 4 3 I've waited them out afore, and I'll wait them out again!'." Elbryan merely smiled and let the centaur ramble on and on, considering the creature's words carefully so that he could discover many hints about Bradwarden.
25 hum brisk Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 2924 4 3 Hawkwing's bowstring hummed, the arrow flying true, diving into the back of the peeing goblin's head. By all reports, the weather was better on the northern side of the Gulf of Corona, more alive, with brisk winds and a greater change of the season.
26 bark grapnel Noun UNKNOWN 2925 4 3 One of the powries stood tall on the first catapult, barking out commands. Jill first tried to dislodge the grapnel, but found that it was too tightly secured, with too much weight on the heavy line.

28 haven outdistance Noun Verb UNKNOWN 2927 4 3 Eventually, if they cannot find a haven, they will be killed, one at a time, perhaps, as was poor Cric, or perhaps the goblins will discover their camp in the night and slaughter them all. The powrie, apparently realizing that it could not possibly outdistance the long-legged human, skidded to a stop arid turned about, a gleaming, serrated sword in hand.
29 unmistakable struggling Adjective Noun UNKNOWN B2 2928 4 3 Avelyn and Bradwarden were thrilled to see their companions again, but their smiles could not hold against the tears running down Pony's cheeks and the unmistakable mist in Elbryan's eyes. Jill started to climb into the boat, but had to stop and turn to strike again at the struggling powrie.
30 thorn straggler Noun Plural UNKNOWN 2929 4 3 They had become a large thorn in the side of the invading army, and no doubt the monstrous leaders in Dundalis and the other villages wanted to get the secretive band out in the open and deal with them once and for all. Jill found herself circumventing the town and approaching it from the west, not from the east the way any stragglers fleeing Pireth Tulme would.
31 lodestone avenge Noun UNKNOWN 2930 4 3 Lodestone was highly magnetic; its enchantment would send it fast to a metal surface. Few in Dundalis would have left even if they knew a goblin force was coming to avenge the goblin that had been killed by the hunting party.
32 praying dire Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 2931 4 3 Avelyn lay across the centaur's back, staring more behind than ahead, praying for his companions. Before she entered, a familiar voice, raised in dire warning, assaulted her.
33 hoping sift Noun Verb UNKNOWN 2932 4 3 No other options; the ranger decided, and so he scrambled ahead, hoping to get a firm handhold, that he might propel Pony over him, over the stone, out to freedom in the dark night. Elbryan absorbed all their words, sifted through their suggestions.
34 passageway assistance Noun UNKNOWN B2 2933 4 3 Elbryan slammed hard, into the wall of the narrow passageway with his already broken arm. 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.
35 volatile sourly Adjective Adverb C1 UNKNOWN 2934 4 3 Elbryan looked at Bradwarden, and the centaur only shrugged, not about to disagree with the volatile friar's estimation of himself. Jill regarded him sourly, then rose and offered an arm.
36 subject lamb Noun A2 UNKNOWN 2935 3 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? Juicy lamb and thick cuts of venison buried in brown sauces and mushrooms, oranges that exploded in a shower of juice as soon as the integrity of their peels was breached, and large, round, yellow melons that the monk had never before seen but that were sweeter than anything he had ever tasted.
37 healthy mirth Adjective Noun A2 UNKNOWN 2936 3 Elbryan lifted Tempest with his healthy arm. They laughed again, all the louder, using the very sound of mirth as a shield against tears.
38 develop joined Verb Adjective A2 UNKNOWN 2937 3 Jojonah didn't really doubt that - he just wondered why in the name of God such a technique had ever been developed! They were joined and the monk fed as a vampire would feed.

41 involve snore Verb Gerund B1 UNKNOWN 2940 3 Pony, who hadn't been involved in the previous discussion at Avelyn's bedside, seemed not to understand. As if on cue, the snoozing monk rolled over and snored loudly.
42 quality detect Noun Infinitive B1 B2 2941 3 Elbryan had that same impish quality about him as Mather, a love and luster of life, lurking just below the surface. Only two short days later, Brother Justice used his Dragon Sight stone to detect the use of strong magic, coming from the northeastern quarter of the city, the high ground of rich houses overlooking the Masur Delaval.
43 society breadth Noun B1 UNKNOWN 2942 3 Cat realized that she should have appeared more impressed, but in truth, little about society had ever meant anything to her. Its armies, led by Maiyer Dek and Kos-kosio Begulne were pressing fast for Palmaris, while Ubba Banrock's northern force had crossed the breadth of Alpinador, right to the coast, cutting the northern kingdom in half.
44 disturb instantly Verb Adverb B1 B2 2943 3 The pair slowed as they approached, knowing that to disturb Paulson usually meant a slap on the head. The glow went away instantly, but the arm remained, extended.
45 background din Noun Verb B1 UNKNOWN 2944 3 He knew it was music, though it seemed too soft, too much in the background for him to actually hear it. "But not until we have dined," Dosey said, falling back in his chair.
46 average captive Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 2945 3 Though diminutive in stature, they were said to be stronger than an average man and with incredible stamina. Elbryan looked down to his diminutive captive.
47 social plausible Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 2946 3 She would dress in the finest gowns and attend the highest social events in Palmaris, even in Ursal! 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 huge man had never appreciated Belster's relationship with the strange Nightbird and had said so often and loudly.
50 audience converse Singular Noun B1 UNKNOWN 2949 3 She went in expecting a brewing row, but found instead that the mad friar, this time, had a fairly attentive audience. 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.
51 stirring herd Noun UNKNOWN 2950 3 It didn't seem such a momentous thing, just a gradual stirring in a deep cave in a far, empty mountain. Who might this leader of the herd be to inspire such uncharacteristic respect from cocky Bradwarden?
52 wandering unerringly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 2951 3 The tangible, corporeal body felt good to the wandering spirit. The monk fell back, nearly toppling, as the stone suddenly zipped away, flying unerringly for the armored chest of the giant closest behind Bradwarden.
53 rend tutor Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 2952 3 Hooves of music rend the gloom 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.
54 grown evergreens Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 2953 3 Obviously the man, or elf or whatever it might be, was important to the Touel'alfar; obviously they had graced this place, this cairn and the grove that had grown about it, with more than a small measure of their magic. Elkenbrook was a village not unlike Dundalis or Weedy Meadow, except that, being on the western border of Alpinador, it was a colder place, with more hardy evergreens and fewer deciduous trees.
55 horn whinny Noun Verb UNKNOWN 2954 3 Neither did that hair hide the creature's horns, thumb sized and curling in toward each other at the top of the demon's brow. The stallion pawed the ground, then reared and whinnied.
56 reddish muscled Adjective UNKNOWN 2955 3 The texture of its skin was rough and thick, an armored hide, reddish in hue and shiny, as if lit by its own inner glow. Symphony had gone perfectly still, his head raised high, his magnificent, muscled chest presented openly to the two men.
57 humanlike urgent Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B2 2956 3 The demon spread wide its black wings and reached back with one humanlike arm, claws extended toward the flowing lava, grabbing the power and channeling it. The kiss became more urgent, and gradually Pony's fears melted away, swept up in the sudden torrent of passion that overcame her.
58 hooked reclusive Adjective UNKNOWN B2 2957 3 The demon extended its fingernails, transformed them into hooked claws, and grew its teeth-two pointed canines extending down over its bottom lip. It is likely that most of the giants, normally reclusive beasts, will turn back for their mountain homes, far from the villages of humans.
59 devastate resonate Verb UNKNOWN 2958 3 Every part of the demon was a weapon, devastating and deadly. Jill's deep breath resonated like a growl and she turned, pulling free of the monk, staring hard at the tavern, at its stone foundation.
60 rally barricade Verb Noun UNKNOWN 2959 3 It cursed aloud the name of Terranen Dinoniel, who had rallied the humans and the elves, chasing the dactyl's armies back to the base of this mountain, Aida.

61 sickening maraud Adjective Gerund UNKNOWN 2960 3 A sickening feeling washed over Elbryan. Often marauding goblins would send in a messenger before the attack to ask for surrender, to barter for a bribe, warning that battle would otherwise be joined.
62 scurry nook Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 2961 3 She scurried away, suddenly uncomfortable. More images came rushing to her as soon as she sat in the nook of those pines.
63 strap rowdy PastTense Noun UNKNOWN 2962 3 When he got there, Juraviel handed him a full pack, a fine knife strapped on one side, a balanced hand axe on the other. The dwarf was telling some rowdy story, the two goblins laughing riotously at every grotesque detail.
64 birthday contort Noun Verb UNKNOWN 2963 3 Next spring would bring his thirteenth birthday, the passage from childhood in the hardy land that was the northern wilderness. Tol bowed his head, his face contorting as he struggled, pragmatism against conscience.
65 wilderness brawl Noun UNKNOWN 2964 3 Next spring would bring his thirteenth birthday, the passage from childhood in the hardy land that was the northern wilderness.

66 absence adversary Singular Noun UNKNOWN 2965 3 Let the younger boys and girls see him then, and afford him the respect he deserved, and let the older men see that the village, under his watchful eye, had fared well in their absence. Hardly thinking of the motion, knowing only that he could not lose this advantage against so deadly an adversary, Elbryan popped the feathered tip onto his Weapon and bent it low, quickly setting the bowstring.
67 muffle outcropping Noun UNKNOWN 2966 3 Elbryan tried to muffle his snicker; the girl hated that nickname, Jilly, though nearly everyone in town called her that. Elbryan scrambled to get to the spot, saw the monk land heavily atop one rocky outcropping and then tumble right over it, a fifteen-foot plummet to bard stone.
68 nickname moonlit Noun UNKNOWN 2967 3 He screwed up his face, the ridiculous nickname sounding foolish in his ears. Then he set off, riding hard through the moonlit woods.

71 oddly scare Adverb Verb UNKNOWN B2 2970 3 He put a hand to his chin, an oddly human gesture. But a bloody cap tossed in their midst, proof that powries were in the region, might scare more than a few folk from their homes, might send them running down the road to the south.
72 sadness extended Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 2971 3 When Pony's eyes showed sadness, Elbryan felt it in his heart; when they soared with sparkling joy, Elbryan's feet moved involuntarily in dance. The glow went away instantly, but the arm remained, extended.
73 sparkling improvise Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 2972 3 When Pony's eyes showed sadness, Elbryan felt it in his heart; when they soared with sparkling joy, Elbryan's feet moved involuntarily in dance.

74 dismissively unearthly Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN 2973 3 Tol snorted and waved his hand dismissively. And given the unearthly strength of the dwarf, Elbryan wondered if the creature might actually do so!
75 vibrant pitchfork Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 2974 3 How much younger and more vibrant Annalisa had seemed! Pony grabbed a pitchfork from one of the men nearby and ran to the eastern gate, bravely throwing it open.
76 piping hoofbeats Noun UNKNOWN 2975 3 Then they heard a distant piping, soft music, perfect melody. A moment later came the thunder of hoofbeats to the east, many hoofbeats accompanied by the screams of those unfortunate goblins caught in front of the wild horse stampede.

78 sensible stomp Adjective Gerund UNKNOWN 2977 3 His mind drifted up from the ridge, from the solid ground, from the sensible experiences of his existence into the unknown, exhilarating joy of spirituality. The ranger found a giant coming hard his way, stomping across the village, outraged and already hurt by one of the monk's lightning blasts.
79 turmoil shawno Noun UNKNOWN 2978 3 Despite that turmoil, Elbryan found himself nodding. The boy from End-o'-the-World, Shawno, had been of little help, but Elbryan remained convinced that it was indeed the Touel'alfar who had rescued that fleeing group from the monstrous hordes.
80 horrifying unblinking Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 2979 3 And then suddenly, it was gone, destroyed by a horrified, and horrifying, scream. Paulson stared at him long and hard, finally relenting under the ranger's unblinking stare.
81 feverish rustle Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 2980 3 What struck Jill most about him was his almost feverish intensity, his brown eyes showing a luster, a life, beyond anything she had seen in many years. Pony was honored, and she moved to kiss Elbryan again, but a rustle at the side caught her attention.
82 crunch dome Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 2981 3 Elbryan froze as he heard the crusty snow crunch under his feet. He moved slowly and carefully about the field, building domes of snow the size of his two cupped hands.
83 relish extinguish Verb UNKNOWN 2982 3 Pony had won that battle by accepting, even relishing, those private feelings, the warmth that washed over her whenever she looked upon Elbryan. The fire on that particular dwarf was indeed extinguished as a huge booted foot crushed the diminutive creature flat.
84 fading sanctuary Noun UNKNOWN 2983 3 Tuntun turned in accord with the punch, her head fading back across to Elbryan's right, her right hand catching the boy's wrist and pushing outward, her left hand coming back in and catching the outside of his elbow, driving in.

85 post slush Noun UNKNOWN 2984 3 Pony realized that she could make out more of the village, could discern the individual houses, even the individual posts of Bunker Crawyer's corral. A drenching rain fell all about the region, turning the last of the snow to slush and softening the ground.
86 shoe invading Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B2 2985 3 Every time he gazed upon the white carpet, he wanted to take off his shoes and pants and run through it barefoot and bare legged, to feel its softness between his toes and brushing against his shins.

87 barefoot occupied Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 2986 3 Every time he gazed upon the white carpet, he wanted to take off his shoes and pants and run through it barefoot and bare legged, to feel its softness between his toes and brushing against his shins.

88 legged advancing Verb Adjective UNKNOWN B2 2987 3 Every time he gazed upon the white carpet, he wanted to take off his shoes and pants and run through it barefoot and bare legged, to feel its softness between his toes and brushing against his shins.

89 deciduous wedge Adjective PastTense UNKNOWN 2988 3 Autumn was well advanced, and all the leaves of the deciduous trees, particularly the sugar maples, were bright with colors, shining red and orange and yellow, painting the ridge.

90 northeastern focused Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 2989 3 The month had turned to Parvespers, the last month of the autumn, when the Windrunner swept around the northeastern reach of the Mantis Arm, past Pireth Tulme and into the Gulf of Corona.

91 chatter unsteady Gerund Adjective UNKNOWN 2990 3 This was a place of natural noises: running streams, cackling birds, and chattering animals.

92 prickly cracking Adjective Noun UNKNOWN B2 2991 3 Pony caught up to him, even passed him over that last expanse, leading the way through the tangle of two wide pines, pushing aside the prickly branches and bursting into a clearing right beside the returning party.

93 blank devour Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 2992 3 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.

94 crook scour Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 2993 3 Elbryan walked a crooked path to the food and stubbornly salvaged what he could. Lower went the demon, and slower, turning tight circles, sharp eyes scouring the terrain, keen ears tuning to every sound.
95 credence serenity Singular Noun UNKNOWN 2994 3 Avelyn's lack of initial response to the news that his mother had died had lent credence to Siherton's complaints. It was a cruel lie: the quiet, the serenity, the spring breeze.
96 oft jutting Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 2995 3 This gloom that had come to Honce-the-Bear had come before in a definite shape and manner that was oft-told in the historical volumes at St.-Mere-Abelle. Elbryan scanned in that direction, but had to move out from his rock even to spot the jutting stone.
97 derisive crackling Adjective UNKNOWN 2996 3 Pony didn't miss her companion's derisive snort. 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.
98 snag deafen Verb UNKNOWN 2997 3 Earlier that year, at the beginning of summer, some of the younger children had snagged a badger in a noose. The ominous growling increased tenfold, a hundredfold, deafening Avelyn, blocking the sounds of the dactyl's shrieks.

100 reluctantly devastate Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 2999 3 The cheer went up, and Shane McMichael, a quiet, slender young man just a few years older than Elbryan, reluctantly came forward to stand beside Olwan in front of the blazing hearth: With much prodding, the man was prompted to tell of the fight, of the cunning twist and parry and the straightforward thrust that had come too soon for the goblin to completely dodge.

1 lemma pos cefr_level coverage_rank global_frequency context_sentence context_sentence_zh definition_zh
2 discount absence Verb Singular UNKNOWN C1 3001 3 Pony shrugged, not willing to discount the possibility of giants, not after viewing a dead goblin. Let the younger boys and girls see him then, and afford him the respect he deserved, and let the older men see that the village, under his watchful eye, had fared well in their absence.
3 locked vibrant Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3002 3 Even as Cat started to turn back for the first, the drunk's arms came about her and locked about her chest, squeezing her tight. How much younger and more vibrant Annalisa had seemed!
4 olive fading Noun UNKNOWN C1 3003 3 Even from this distance, the elves could see the olive-green orbs sparkling with intensity, truly seeing the imagined foes. Tuntun turned in accord with the punch, her head fading back across to Elbryan's right, her right hand catching the boy's wrist and pushing outward, her left hand coming back in and catching the outside of his elbow, driving in.
5 competition somber Singular Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3004 3 Pony had told him many times that Kristeena was sweet for him, and the older girl, not viewing a ten-year-old as competition, had been charmed by the thought. Squat towers anchored every turn in the wall; narrow windows showed that the place was built for somber reflection and defense.
6 gesture denial Noun UNKNOWN C1 3005 3 He looked at Pony and winked, and was surprised when she returned the gesture with a serious frown. Images assaulted them, mingling with imagined scenes even more horrifying, and amid all of it welled utter denial, the hope against obvious reality that this simply could not be happening.
7 voluminous intriguing Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3006 3 Twenty-five stood in a line, cloaked in thick brown robes with voluminous sleeves and large hoods that were pulled low to hide their faces. Most intriguing of all was the giant purple amethyst, with so many different crystal shafts.
8 southeastern accomplishment Noun UNKNOWN C1 3007 3 No land came in sight for three days, the Windjammer making a direct run to the southeastern point of the Gulf of Corona, the northern tip of the region known as the Mantis Arm. 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.
9 solemn realm Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3008 3 The ceremony went off perfectly solemn yet joyous, ladies crying, men standing tall and handsome. 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.
10 toil fatal Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3009 3 He got his reward for his morning's toils when he returned to the bog to collect the tenth loaded basket. In the hollow of the twin pines, he had lost sight of his enemy - the first, and often fatal, mistake.
11 underground lad Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3010 3 When the showers arrived, he and his fellow Preparer would be hidden underground, sheltered from the pelting meteors. The call brought the sprinting lad to a skidding halt.
12 market brutally Verb Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3011 3 Seven hundred monks lived here and another two hundred servants, many of them never leaving the place except to go on short visits, usually to market in the village of St.-Mere-Abelle, some three miles inland. Then suddenly, brutally, he leaped ahead, fell low in a spinning crouch, and kicked up hard at Jill's extended sword.
13 grueling rotation Adjective Singular UNKNOWN C1 3012 3 The schedule was grueling, designed to find weakness and break those who were not fit for the daily rigors of the Order of St.-Mere-Abelle. Brother Avelyn turned hard on the crank, both wood and man groaning with each rotation.
14 testing declaration Noun Singular UNKNOWN C1 3013 3 Eight years of formal study, eight years of grueling testing, had brought Avelyn to this point, one of twenty-five remaining of the two thousand twelve-year-olds who had begun the process, each desperately vying to gain admittance in this class of God's Year 816. The smaller man, Burgis, shied away at the declaration.
15 eyelid interior Noun UNKNOWN C1 3014 3 But weariness overtook him, caught him where he sat, and brought his eyelids low. They were far below ground in one of the abbey's interior chambers, so there could be no window.
16 mortality offering Noun UNKNOWN C1 3015 3 Inevitably, though, that led Elbryan to thoughts of mortality and thus to the recent fate of his family and friends. Whatever the man's reasons for offering a different title were not important, Avelyn decided, and so he accepted the name without further question.
17 denial somberly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3016 3 Images assaulted them, mingling with imagined scenes even more horrifying, and amid all of it welled utter denial, the hope against obvious reality that this simply could not be happening. 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.
18 momentary partially Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3017 3 None of the group was hurt; but the momentary distraction gave the drained dactyl the time to retreat. Pettibwa left Fellowship Way to her, even partially, Grady would not be pleased.
19 sweetness revenge Noun UNKNOWN C1 3018 3 The sweetness was there, but somehow just out of Jill's reach. Despite very real fears, Elbryan wanted revenge.
20 parting rationally Noun Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3019 3 In the morning came the second painful parting. And now he was here, the best scenario he could rationally have hoped to find.
21 windblown drain Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3020 3 Thoughts of his parents could not hold Avelyn's attention as the group crossed the windblown courtyard and entered the grand entrance hall of St.-Mere-Abelle. Gradually, though, his resolve drained away and so did his strength.
22 intriguing feat Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3021 3 Most intriguing of all was the giant purple amethyst, with so many different crystal shafts. Brother Justice's first thought was that Avelyn had hired on with this obviously wealthy merchant, perhaps to perform some necessary feat with the stones, perhaps merely as a court jester.
23 statue homeland Noun UNKNOWN C1 3022 3 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. He knew that he was nowhere near Dundalis; this mountain was nothing like the gentle, tree-covered hills of his homeland.
24 dramatically utterly Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3023 3 He resisted, and the hematite receded dramatically, almost forcing him from the trance. Then he realized that he was alone again, and utterly lost.
25 gruesome raiding Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3024 3 Spurred by the gruesome sight, she attacked fiercely. If this boy knew of the evil races, then why was his village so utterly ill equipped to deal with a simple raiding party?
26 coat resignation Noun Singular UNKNOWN C1 3025 3 Its limbs were slender and long and its armor a silver shining coat of fine interlocking links. Elbryan shifted to one knee, fitted a heavy arrow, and, with a sigh of complete resignation, let fly.
27 similarly widening Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3026 3 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. The sharks would feed on the dead, and the frantic actions of those still alive combined with the widening blood spill would likely bring more in, he knew.
28 accomplishment soaring Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3027 3 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. He had to know, and then, when he did know, he couldn't help but imagine the wonder of soaring through the air.
29 wariness devilish Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3028 3 For the adults, the specter of the goblins brought a sobering wariness and then a troublesome distraction. He found Bradwarden, at work crafting some devilish arrows, and the centaur's face immediately brightened.
30 realm layout Noun UNKNOWN C1 3029 3 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. Avelyn had described the general layout to them all, had told of the valley and of the lone mountain that maps named Aida.
31 respectfully opt Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3030 3 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. The fire burned low - it had never been truly high, for Juraviel opted for caution, though he was fairly certain there were no monsters in the area, no organized groups anyway.
32 compliment caution Noun UNKNOWN C1 3031 3 After that exchange of compliments, even the passing of endless uneventful hours could not dampen the thrill for the youngsters. The fire burned low - it had never been truly high, for Juraviel opted for caution, though he was fairly certain there were no monsters in the area, no organized groups anyway.
33 team overturn Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3032 3 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. It struck the bowl of stew, overturning it and making a mess of the meal.
34 uneventfully distress Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3033 3 Half an hour passed uneventfully, Elbryan walking and looking about, constantly awed by the beauty and the. Recognizing the boy's ultimate distress and embarrassment, Juraviel generously let the insult pass.
35 crumble twisting Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3034 3 The left-hand wall of the throne room crumbled; the twin lava flows intensified, spurting molten stone across the room. Juraviel took full advantage, put Elbryan off balance and kept on twisting, angling the boy over the trough.
36 sympathize charter Verb UNKNOWN C1 3035 3 Brother Justice understood this, though he hardly sympathized. 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.
37 luster cease Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3036 3 Elbryan looked at her, little luster showing in his normally bright green eyes. 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.
38 absolutely execute Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3037 3 The simple fact that they could not be absolutely certain offered Elbryan all the encouragement he needed. Adjonas watched it all anxiously, moving along the rail as his ship executed a turn.
39 bump vanish Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3038 3 He dared to put his arms around Pony's back, dared to pull her closer, feeling the strangely interesting curves and bumps of her body against his own as they came together. Cat could hardly believe she had spoken the words, but her horror vanished when Connor laughed heartily.
40 urgency virtue Noun UNKNOWN C1 3039 3 The kiss shifted, from curiosity to urgency, then back to gentleness. 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.
41 wag dispute Verb UNKNOWN C1 3040 3 If that was the case, would he be justified in waging battle with these six? 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.
42 formerly raider Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3041 3 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. "But the southern kingdom has little control over its raiders," Adjonas explained.
43 unreal wistful Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3042 3 It was too unreal, too beyond their experience and expectations. 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.
44 expectation sanction Plural Verb UNKNOWN C1 3043 3 It was too unreal, too beyond their experience and expectations. 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.
45 rag dumb Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3044 3 Avelyn thought his very skin would slip off his body, a great rag, and fall rumpled to the deck. His words, the sincerity of his tone, struck her dumb.
46 fatal occurrence Adjective Singular UNKNOWN C1 3045 3 In the hollow of the twin pines, he had lost sight of his enemy - the first, and often fatal, mistake. 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.
47 loll carriage Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3046 3 Elbryan looked over at Tol, the man's head lolling about on his shoulders. It was a ceremony that had all of Palmaris talking; the women swooning, the men standing tall, feigning importance, wishing they were in the carriage in Connor Bildeborough's place as it made its winding way, through the streets.
48 grayish peasant Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3047 3 Elbryan saw the bright red gash, the white of split bone, the grayish brain. 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.
49 sag attendance Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3048 3 The young man shifted to a sitting position and sagged on the wet ground. It was bad enough that the carriage would roll through every part of the large city, bad enough that more than five hundred people would be in attendance at the church when she and Connor were wed, but the thought of what would come later, after the grand ball ...
50 anymore cargo Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3049 3 There were no lines of defense anymore, no organized pockets of resistance. He did not wake up until long after the dawn, his precious cargo intact in his pack.
51 grotesque provision Adjective Plural UNKNOWN C1 3050 3 As if in a grotesque mockery of that hope, a goblin marched around that corner, bearing down on the girl. Perhaps it was the boredom, the heat, or the tasteless provisions, but the crew grew increasingly uneasy, even hostile.
52 lad ensue Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3051 3 The call brought the sprinting lad to a skidding halt. A long moment of silence ensued, all five - the three humans, Juraviel, and Tuntun - feeling the weight of confirmation.
53 pointy plea Adjective Singular UNKNOWN C1 3052 3 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. "We're too far out," he said to his captain, his plea sounding as a whine.
54 butt accusation Verb Singular UNKNOWN C1 3053 3 He pulled her hands out wide, and she used the opening to head-butt him again. The accusation hit.
55 brutally seal Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3054 3 Then suddenly, brutally, he leaped ahead, fell low in a spinning crouch, and kicked up hard at Jill's extended sword. To his relief, they did not, but rather they fell against the metal, using their bulk to seal off any chance of entry.
56 overrule supposedly Verb Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3055 3 Wisdom overruled his rage, though, and he stayed hidden and let them pass. He saw reflected in the mirror those images that had been peripheral to him at that time: a supposedly ill man standing at the side of the camp and, more important, the expression on that man's face, hardly noticed at the time, but clear now to Elbryan.
57 buzz suspicious Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3056 3 The whole village had buzzed about the house because Olwan Wyndon was laying a stone foundation. Suspicious, but wise enough to keep his mouth shut, Avelyn bid farewell to Adjonas and the others - though not a man aboard the Windrunner regretted the departure of the three monks - and went ashore.
58 choke trepidation Gerund Singular UNKNOWN C1 3057 3 But before it could get anywhere near to the young man, the giant went down, choking in its own blood. The ranger felt the hairs on the back of his neck standing up, felt a tingling of trepidation.
59 rotation spy Singular Noun UNKNOWN C1 3058 3 Brother Avelyn turned hard on the crank, both wood and man groaning with each rotation. He didn't really know what he would do, other than spy on the masters and confirm his fears of his approaching fate.
60 impatient rod Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3059 3 The stunned man stammered, taking too long for the impatient monk's comfort. Then Avelyn and the remaining guard began selecting and collecting stones: the giant crystal amethyst, a rod of graphite, a small but potent ruby, and several others, including turquoise and amber, celestine and a tiger's paw, a chrysoberyl, or cat's eye, some gypsum and malachite, a sheet of chrysotile, and a piece of heavy magnetite.
61 portly sullen Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3060 3 She stood up and offered her hand, helping the portly monk to his feet. News that she would soon be transferred to Pireth Vanguard far to the north, did little to change Jill's sullen mood.
62 speck disastrous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3061 3 He turned his fingers gently to flick a speck of mud from her cheek, though his gaze never left her shining blue eyes. Jill, whose only experience with a man had been so very disastrous, did not like the odds.
63 squint irony Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3062 3 Master Siherton squinted ominously and leaned close over Avelyn, glaring openly. Again, Elbryan sat back, smiling at the irony of it all.
64 chore encompass Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3063 3 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. The song came louder, faster, and Juraviel began to dance delicate, spinning circles wrapped in a larger circle that encompassed the plants.
65 lust inspection Verb Singular UNKNOWN C1 3064 3 And, because of that passion, because of worldly lusts, a man who could be controlled. Elbryan continued his inspection of the stream to make sure that nothing ominous was swimming along its course, then hooked his pack on the stiff branch of a prickly shrub and gingerly removed his boots.
66 declaration intent Singular Verb UNKNOWN C1 3065 3 The smaller man, Burgis, shied away at the declaration. The first thing Jill noticed was a huge, fat man standing atop a table, waving an empty mug, sometimes in a threatening manner to keep at bay the closer patrons, all obviously intent on knocking him from his perch.
67 commission mill Verb UNKNOWN C1 3066 3 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. Across the wide meadow, past the flowers and the grass, he saw perfection of form, a huge stallion, milling about the shadows of the distant trees.
68 gallery regain Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3067 3 Brother Avelyn, too, ignored Tol Yuganick's cheering gallery. Over the next giant she went, trying to regain her footing.
69 artist swinging Noun UNKNOWN C1 3068 3 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. Elbryan grabbed up Tempest in both hands and surged ahead, swinging an.
70 immaculates landmark Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3069 3 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. She didn't recognize any landmarks but figured she must be somewhere west of Pireth Tulme on the north coast of the Mantis Arm.
71 retire thereafter Verb UNKNOWN C1 3070 3 That night, Avelyn retired to his room, thoroughly exhausted, both emotionally and physically. Pony awakened shortly thereafter, the dulled dawn just beginning, but still the glow from atop the mountain was faintly visible.
72 volunteer glancing Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3071 3 He had spent all his waking hours at demanding work, volunteering for the most difficult parts of each task. A deft twist by the woman turned the sword out of harm's way, allowing Brother Justice merely a glancing hit that forced Jill back a step.
73 herald scrutinize Gerund Verb UNKNOWN C1 3072 3 Only the call to vespers, the ceremony heralding eventide, had interrupted Avelyn's frantic pace. Avelyn scrutinized the broach carefully.
74 flood tempt Verb UNKNOWN C1 3073 3 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. Elbryan, too, was tempted, would have loved to see Andur'Blough Inninness again, especially now, to bolster his resolve before he completed this all-important, perilous journey.
75 disappointment readily Singular Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3074 3 She wasn't, to Avelyn's ultimate disappointment. Pony looked at Avelyn, suddenly very appreciative of the training he had given her with the magical stones but somewhat surprised that she could call forth the magic of this cat's eye so readily.
76 experienced sorrow Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3075 3 2 After only a few weeks in the abbey, Avelyn knew enough about the routine to understand that students much older and more experienced than he were the normal choice for any tasks, however menial, in the Abbot's Maze. To untwist hearts from grasping sorrow,
77 oval repair Noun Verb UNKNOWN A2 3076 3 2 The central stone of the broach was a hematite, as he had suspected, an oval of liquid gray, deep and smooth. That meant gathering wood and tending the fires, repairing the cabins-which always seemed to need repair!
78 portal male Noun UNKNOWN A2 3077 3 2 Beyond this portal, Avelyn saw a huge room, braced by columns and lit by the orange flow of molten stone. 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.
79 latch shapely Noun Adverb UNKNOWN A2 3078 3 2 Avelyn blinked; amid the wonders of the door, he hadn't even noticed the huge latch! She was in her mid-teens, but had the shapely body of a woman five years older.
80 hinge formal Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 3079 3 2 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 four monks were on deck when Bunkus Smealy informed them that they would have no formal duties that day, that they might go about their business.
81 interior illness Noun UNKNOWN A2 3080 3 2 They were far below ground in one of the abbey's interior chambers, so there could be no window. The last few years had been hard on her, one illness after another.
82 cloudless arrangement Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3081 3 2 But there was indeed light inside that room, such a light as to make Avelyn think of a cloudless midsummer day. There were several complaints about this arrangement at first, mostly from the older boys who thought that they
83 practically tomb Adverb Noun UNKNOWN A2 3082 3 2 Jojonah moved into the room, Avelyn practically stumbling behind him. Thus, Elbryan and Pony walked away from Avelyn's chosen grave, from Tuntun's last breath, from Bradwarden's tomb.
84 crystalline everywhere Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN A2 3083 3 2 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. Goblins swarmed everywhere, and Pony spotted at least two other giants, fifteen feet tall and perhaps a thousand pounds of chiseled muscle.
85 astronomical vest Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3084 3 2 They studied the Halo, the charts that determined the astronomical data which would indicate the time of the showers. He tore off his overcoat and pulled open his leather vest, quickly unbuttoning the sleeves of his white shirt.
86 girdle aching Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 3085 3 2 Perhaps he would shine in the heavens above, a fifth light on the girdle of Progos-Behemoth! Avelyn sighed deeply and put his aching arms into motion.
87 groove figuring Noun UNKNOWN A2 3086 3 2 Looking closer, Avelyn noted grooves in the wall. So Elbryan stood back from it all, figuring it to be one of those dangers for the villagers to work out on their own.
88 offering favorite Noun UNKNOWN A2 3087 3 2 Whatever the man's reasons for offering a different title were not important, Avelyn decided, and so he accepted the name without further question. 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.
89 click brilliantly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN A2 3088 3 2 Master Siherton came out of Markwart's room alone, his boots clicking on the floor as he made his way in the direction of the stone room. It filled every corner, every crack in every stone, and reflected brilliantly off the glass covers of the many cases set about the room, and off their contents, as well, hundreds and hundreds of polished stones.
90 lever unlock Verb UNKNOWN A2 3089 3 2 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. 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.
91 somberly instructor Adverb Noun UNKNOWN A2 3090 3 2 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. 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.
92 effortlessly thickly Adverb UNKNOWN A2 3091 3 2 He understood the command and willed himself off the ground, drifting effortlessly toward the ceiling. Pony only saw a couple from this angle, a goblin and an older woman, but the stench of death hung as thickly in the air as the smoke from the fires.
93 whispering circling Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 3092 3 2 To the left came a titter, a tiny voice whispering softly. Only the vultures, dozens and dozens, some circling overhead, most on the ground feasting, tearing at skin that had been warm to Pony's touch just the day before, pecking at eyes that had locked with her own, shared gaze and shared thought.
94 fancy spoon Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3093 3 2 There was indeed a mystery here that no tumble of fancy words could lay bare; there was something here of a higher order. In her hand she clutched her heavy wooden spoon.
95 tenfold variety Noun UNKNOWN A2 3094 3 2 The ominous growling increased tenfold, a hundredfold, deafening Avelyn, blocking the sounds of the dactyl's shrieks. They learned how to tie ropes in a variety of ways, knots necessary for the many uses aboard a sailing vessel.
96 hidden knot Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3095 3 2 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. They learned how to tie ropes in a variety of ways, knots necessary for the many uses aboard a sailing vessel.
97 amazing brightness Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3096 3 2 For the young man to use the stones and drift out of the room, out of the abbey, and see the design on the roof was truly amazing. Pony and Avelyn had underestimated the distance and camped outside Weedy Meadow that night, the monk reasoning that it would be better for them to go into town with such grim warnings during the brightness of day.
98 slanting sunrise Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3097 3 2 A slanting ray cut in through the smoke, a single shaft of light that beckoned the girl back to the land of the living. He noted that the sky had turned a funny color, a purplish, rosy hue the likes of which Avelyn had only seen at sunrise or sunset, and then only on the appropriate horizon.
99 beckon pet Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 3098 3 2 A slanting ray cut in through the smoke, a single shaft of light that beckoned the girl back to the land of the living. He was to watch the night sky, to learn every twinkle of light, to become so familiar with the visible stars that he would not only know their given names but also might create pet names of his own for them.
100 partially factor Adverb Noun UNKNOWN A2 3099 3 2 Pettibwa left Fellowship Way to her, even partially, Grady would not be pleased. Was their mission the overriding factor here, for if they attacked and were beaten back, killed, or captured, then who would go on to the smoking mountain to stand against the demon dactyl?
101 multitude gleam Noun UNKNOWN A2 3100 3 2 Elbryan took it and, ignoring the multitude of questions that again swirled in his thoughts, silently followed. Father Abbot Markwart appeared wickedly intense, the gleam in his eyes seeming almost maniacal, and certainly frightening.

2 becoming stooping Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3701 2 It was true enough; Avelyn's incredible dedication was fast becoming the talk of St.-Mere-Abelle. Tol moved closer to the stooping ranger as he spoke.
3 overt farmhouse Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3702 2 It was no secret that Siherton favored Quintall among this most important class, but the man's overt insult of Avelyn, the choice of every other master - and reportedly of Father Abbot Markwart as well - surprised him. A black bear had attacked a farmhouse and that alone was enough of a mystery to force the ranger to investigate.
4 amiss vent Noun Gerund UNKNOWN 3703 2 Jojonah looked back at the courtyard, to Avelyn at work as always as though nothing was amiss.

5 macabre foamy Adjective UNKNOWN 3704 2 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. Three men lay about on piled skins, black bear mostly, drinking foamy beer from old mugs.

7 inhumanity foam Noun UNKNOWN 3706 2 Was it, as Siherton insisted, the young man's apparent inhumanity? No foam; the ranger breathed a sigh of relief.
8 smug sappy Adjective UNKNOWN 3707 2 That smug look by the ranger spurred the proud Quintall into a charge. Elbryan recognized the black, sappy poison, a pain - inducing product of a rare black birch tree.
9 stairwell camouflage Noun UNKNOWN 3708 2 Jill looked straight ahead as she made for the door to the stairwell that would get her down to her room. Slowly Brother Justice closed, using bodies as camouflage.
10 figuring stealthily Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3709 2 So Elbryan stood back from it all, figuring it to be one of those dangers for the villagers to work out on their own. Then, fearful that they would be too late, the pair split, left and right, and moved quickly and stealthily right up to the edge of the cavern entrance.
11 guarantee vat Verb Noun B2 UNKNOWN 3710 2 His reentry would be guaranteed, but his position as a Preparer - though he had no idea that he would be offered such a position or even that there was such a thing - would be lost. In a vat not far from the back wall of the shack, the ranger found a thick concoction of black liquid, and quickly surmised it to be the same irritant poison that had been used on the bear.
12 syllable concoction Noun Singular UNKNOWN 3711 2 The syllables came clear to him, though they joined into words he could not understand, distant melodic sounds he somehow recognized as part of the earth itself.

13 sickness restrain Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3712 2 She lived on, in sickness, only to see me enter the Order of St.-Mere-Abelle. 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.
14 peacefully stout Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN 3713 2 That is the vision that allowed Annalisa Desbris to pass on peacefully from this world." Jill regarded the short, stout man curiously.
15 offense letch Noun UNKNOWN 3714 2 Elbryan smiled wryly at Bradwarden before the fearsome centaur could take offense. But he was a letch, a drooling, grabby slob, who took it personally when Jill refused his advances.
16 testament revert Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3715 2 Was Avelyn, perhaps, a higher standard, a shadowy mirror, held up before all the monks of St.-Mere-Abelle, a testament of true faith that seemed so rare in these times, even in the holy abbey? Even his strict rules for duty had relaxed within the week, Pireth Tulme reverting to its typical partying ways.
17 cushiony hangover Noun UNKNOWN 3716 2 When the tittering pair finally left, Jill was sitting on the edge of the great cushiony bed, wearing only a simple silk nightgown that was too low cut, both front and back, and didn't go nearly far enough down her legs. She collected ten of Pireth Tulme's Coastpoint Guards, using their hangovers as a tool for rejecting more of the others, then set out, double-timing the march down the dirt path.
18 trinket foothold Noun UNKNOWN 3717 2 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. He ran hard to the side, then leaped up atop a rounded boulder, gaining a foothold and turning back in a quick charge to meet the rushing monster.
19 richly barter Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3718 2 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.

20 adorn hah Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3719 2 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. "Hah!" the huge man bellowed.
21 pragmatism foolhardiness Noun UNKNOWN 3720 2 Tol bowed his head, his face contorting as he struggled, pragmatism against conscience. But sheer terror, sheer instinct, and an unselfishness that bordered on foolhardiness, allowed for nothing less.
22 altogether fete Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3721 2 Elbryan dismissed the notion altogether; he was on the eastern edge of the Moorlands by now, not so far from human settlements. Jill watched him for a fete moments, honestly intrigued.
23 stool encroachment Noun UNKNOWN 3722 2 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. But then, in perhaps the worst torture of all' to the valiant Touel'alfar, Juraviel felt the encroachment, felt the dark and cold presence of Bestesbulzibar creeping into his thoughts, scouring his mind.
24 farewell sheath Noun UNKNOWN 3723 2 Suspicious, but wise enough to keep his mouth shut, Avelyn bid farewell to Adjonas and the others - though not a man aboard the Windrunner regretted the departure of the three monks - and went ashore. He slid Tempest into its sheath, looped Hawkwing over his back, then climbed up, offering his hand to Pony.
25 leak hound Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3724 2 He felt the first tears leaking from his eyes and tried to deny them. Jill sighed deeply every time she considered the man who had called himself the hound of ill omen.
26 deserving weep Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3725 2 The Abellican Church, the ancient scriptures, promised heaven to those deserving, and who could be more deserving than gentle and generous Annalisa Desbris? She moved to the door to see the friar shuffling down the muddy lane, weeping and crying out for the "sins of men" and the woeful state of preparation.
27 generous diatribe Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3726 2 The bartender nodded, smiling, and gave his precious Cat - he still called her that - a generous and warm hug. Jill did go out one night, while Avelyn went down into the common room of the inn they had chosen, spouting his diatribes.
28 sniffle inconspicuous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3727 2 Still the tears came; every so often his even tone was broken by a sniffle or a sob. Master Jojonah looked down from an inconspicuous balcony at the large chamber, bare of any furnishing but for a few practice riggings sitting against the far wall.
29 compose occasionally Verb Adverb UNKNOWN B2 3728 2 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. He uttered a chant repeatedly, using it to bolster his failing strength, and De'Unnero, the new master who had taken Siherton's place, stalked about him, occasionally stinging him with a riding crop.
30 splendor immaculate Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3729 2 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. Behind Quintall stood a tenth-year immaculate.
31 divert plat Verb UNKNOWN 3730 2 None of it diverted Avelyn's attention from the wonders of the place, though he did listen somewhat, fearing to miss any questions directed his way. Bradwarden's heavy bow, swung as a club, rang off the plated armor, splintering as it hit.
32 enwrap underling Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3731 2 Scenes of the Halo, the heavenly gift, enwrapping all the others, an oval because of the angle at which it was portrayed.

33 unfold rightfully Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3732 2 Elbryan's brow furrowed as he considered the words, as their implications began to unfold before him.

34 distinction renegade Singular Noun UNKNOWN 3733 2 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. And he did not desire to leave behind any legacy of failure=including the existence of the renegade Avelyn.
35 explicit isolate Adjective Verb B2 3734 2 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 fear isolates them, and they often cannot distinguish friend from foe.
36 blasphemous equate Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3735 2 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.

41 soil rousing Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3740 2 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.

54 carrion capstan Noun UNKNOWN 3753 2 She heard the cawing of the birds - carrion birds, she knew. She kicked over the pitch barrels, spilling one onto the capstan that held the anchor line and knocking another down the stairs to the lower main deck.
55 lumber conspicuous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3754 2 The monsters' take of lumber would not have been useful; the spruce and pines were too short for catapults, too wet and sappy for wood fires, and too pliable for any construction.

61 thickly confide Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3760 2 Pony only saw a couple from this angle, a goblin and an older woman, but the stench of death hung as thickly in the air as the smoke from the fires.

67 feast garnet Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3766 2 Only the vultures, dozens and dozens, some circling overhead, most on the ground feasting, tearing at skin that had been warm to Pony's touch just the day before, pecking at eyes that had locked with her own, shared gaze and shared thought.

18 solitude repertoire Noun UNKNOWN 3917 2 Her rage bubbled away, and she turned from the alley, walking back into the solitude of the darkened rooftop.

24 brine starkness Noun UNKNOWN C1 3923 2 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.

25 affectionately buck Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3924 2 It had been given to her affectionately, she knew, and with all sympathy for her pitiful predicament, and so she had not argued.

29 metallic sustain Adjective Verb UNKNOWN C1 3928 2 She considered going back into the Way and inquiring about this Halo right then, but her concentration was broken by a sharp, metallic sound.

40 ironic explicit Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3939 2 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.

41 reservation sphere Plural Noun UNKNOWN C1 3940 2 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.

44 playing induce Noun Infinitive UNKNOWN C1 3943 2 The centaur stopped his playing when he spotted his friend, his white smile growing wide within his bushy black beard. Elbryan recognized the black, sappy poison, a pain - inducing product of a rare black birch tree.

In the span of a few unbelievable minutes, Elbryan's entire world had been thrown down.
46 pinnacle threshold Noun UNKNOWN C1 3945 2 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. On the charred threshold of one ruin, he saw a tiny corpse, a blackened ball.
47 office empathy Noun UNKNOWN C1 3946 2 The other three chosen were already in the spacious office when Avelyn and Jojonah arrived. But Elbryan felt that soft feeling - that sympathy, that empathy - and he knew then that he was not alone.
48 mustache timber Noun UNKNOWN C1 3947 2 By all appearances, the man was impressive - tall and straight, mustache and goatee neatly trimmed, his red-trimmed blue overcoat tailored straight and proper, black leather baldric crossing right shoulder to left hip and sporting an impressive sword, a family heirloom. He pushed aside a timber gingerly, when he heard the remaining roof groan in protest and went down to his knees, peering in.
49 acutely scope Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3948 2 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 found Thomas Ault and several other men next, and only then did the already weary youngster realize the scope of his task.
50 ornamental revelation Adjective Plural UNKNOWN C1 3949 2 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 found the many prayer rituals boring, even trite, in light of the revelations he was finding every night.

52 untended mutual PastTense Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3951 2 Except for that hardened face with its wild, untended beard, this man could have passed as a brother of Tol Yuganick, Elbryan noted distastefully. There was supposed to be no anger toward an opponent, only respect and mutual learning, but Quintall growled whenever the masters paired him against Avelyn.
53 seamen vague Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3952 2 He had heard the term before, and he knew Quintall and the others used it for the common seamen, but he had no idea what it meant. Master Jojonah's instructions were vague at best, but Avelyn came to understand them in his heart.
54 proximity nonetheless Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3953 2 - and yet, fighting in such proximity had him on the defensive for her sake. Nonetheless, Jojonah began to protest again, but Markwart cut him short.
55 commanding remainder Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3954 2 The four young monks exchanged glances; Avelyn was sympathetic to the captain's wishes and actually took some comfort in the man's commanding, if cold, demeanor. He spent the remainder of the afternoon caught up in the sights and smells.
56 pecking ironically Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3955 2 The pecking order for the voyage had indeed been determined in just that manner.

57 bell dimension Noun Plural UNKNOWN C1 3956 2 The bells of the abbey pealed repeatedly, drawing curious onlookers from the nearby village of St.-Mere-Abelle.

58 peal indignantly Verb Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3957 2 The bells of the abbey pealed repeatedly, drawing curious onlookers from the nearby village of St.-Mere-Abelle. "He fights like a human," Tuntun answered indignantly.
59 bouncing substitute Adjective Gerund UNKNOWN C1 3958 2 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.

60 noisily devil Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3959 2 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.

61 crusty thrive Adjective Verb UNKNOWN C1 3960 2 Elbryan froze as he heard the crusty snow crunch under his feet. Brothers Avelyn, Quintall, Pellimar, and Thagraine learned to survive, even thrive, on no more than four hours of sleep.
62 jealous ironic Adjective Verb UNKNOWN C1 3961 2 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.

65 misstep acutely Noun Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3964 2 Only the previous autumn, he would not even have noticed his last slight misstep. That garment held Avelyn's attention acutely, for he sensed that at least one of those jewels, a small ruby, was more than ornamental.
66 clumsy bouncing Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3965 2 Elbryan had learned to walk nearly silently - though he still thought himself clumsy when measured against the graceful elves!

67 moot despondently Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3966 2 The point was moot, anyway, for Elbryan never got close to touching the elusive deer. "I lost control," Elbryan said despondently.
68 despondently yelling Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3967 2 "I lost control," Elbryan said despondently. The elf went into a headlong roll, right between the young man's widespread legs, came up to his feet behind the yelling and turning Elbryan, and reversed his momentum, stabbing both his poles back.
69 fumbling kidney Noun UNKNOWN C1 3968 2 Even the pursuit seemed left behind, the fumbling giants not keeping pace. Elbryan was already into his responding turn but not far enough; and the elf's blades poked him hard in the kidneys.
70 session frustrated Plural Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3969 2 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!

71 chat endure Verb UNKNOWN C1 3970 2 Such were Juraviel's methods, his enchanting and engrossing conversation techniques, that Elbryan hardly realized this to be perhaps the most important part of his training, these daily chats, anecdotal and enjoyable. But the old sea dog couldn't fathom the level of physical training these four men had endured.
72 dice pirate Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3971 2 But perhaps he'd have time for a few drinks and a dice game before. "To be in sight of land would mean to be in sight of pirates." He snorted and walked away, but paused, looked back, and motioned to them.
73 lodging tossing Noun UNKNOWN C1 3972 2 Elbryan moved grudgingly to his lodging, a low, wide house on the bottom boughs of a thick-limbed elm. His sleep every night was fitful, tossing and turning even more than did the Windrunner on the rough swells.
74 sneakily gravely Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3973 2 Elbryan smiled sneakily and went into a crouch. Avelyn nodded gravely, not liking where this was going.
75 shave elevate Verb UNKNOWN C1 3974 2 Even his head was bare, for his superiors had shaved it. This fifth target, some hundred yards away, was the first for which Elbryan had to elevate his shot.
76 feint precision Noun UNKNOWN C1 3975 2 He was too fast for most humans, dizzying them with winding, sweeping feints before the lightning strike killed them. But that quickness and precision would not be enough, Elbryan told himself.
77 counterclockwise magnetic Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3976 2 As soon as he started around, then, Elbryan turned his right foot out and went around counterclockwise, pulling in his hip to avoid a swipe of that axe. Lodestone was highly magnetic; its enchantment would send it fast to a metal surface.
78 clicking refuge Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3977 2 Elbryan uttered a soft clicking sound, and Symphony responded by lifting his ears and nickering. She couldn't look at the man but kept her eyes locked on the stars, as if seeking refuge high above.
79 twirling absent Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3978 2 He hardly saw the elf's attacks, but he took comfort in the clicking sounds as the twirling pole picked off each one. Connor, sitting back on one of the plush chairs in the lobby, turned an absent gaze his companion's way.
80 yelling discard Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3979 2 The elf went into a headlong roll, right between the young man's widespread legs, came up to his feet behind the yelling and turning Elbryan, and reversed his momentum, stabbing both his poles back. Grady knew too much about Connor's nighttime pursuits for the nobleman to discard him, and though Grady had never even hinted at blackmail, Connor understood him well enough to fear him.
81 kidney applaud Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3980 2 Elbryan was already into his responding turn but not far enough; and the elf's blades poked him hard in the kidneys.

82 accusingly nonsense Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3981 2 "The dactyl grows strong," she said, not accusingly. It was all nonsense, all pretension, but in Honce-the-Bear in God's Year 821, that was the way things were done.
83 worried tenderness Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3982 2 Adjonas turned a worried glance at Quintall. Even worse, there was no love, no tenderness in his face as he stalked back to her, just heated desire, an almost angry passion.

86 conniving hostile Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3985 2 Grady silently applauded his conniving little sister, though his perception of her actions almost scared him; he had never thought her capable of such a beautifully treacherous play. Perhaps it was the boredom, the heat, or the tasteless provisions, but the crew grew increasingly uneasy, even hostile.
87 frustrated rational Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3986 2 To frustrated Jill's thinking, Gofflaw could use a throw or two across a room. Gothra, no fool - at least by goblin standards - wanted to argue his point in logical, rational terms, but all that came from the goblin's mouth was an agonized scream as Bestesbulzibar reached out with one hand, clamping the goblin's held and pulling Gothra in.
88 acquaint privilege Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3987 2 Belli'mar Juraviel, easily the friendliest of the elven band, and the one most acquainted with humans, had even refused to be seen among the encampments, explaining that his presence would probably only frighten those too foolish to know friend from foe. Even the extra privileges did little to improve the mood of the increasingly surly crew.
89 proportion hail Singular Noun UNKNOWN C1 3988 2 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. The rocky hail was light for some time, gradually increasing to the point where it punished the very ground of Pimaninicuit.
90 gait callous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3989 2 Her gait enhanced that perception as well, for she walked with ease and fluidity, always balanced. The cool and callous, way Quintall had dispatched the man, had murdered a human being, shook gentle Avelyn to his very bones.
91 enhance efficiency Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3990 2 Her gait enhanced that perception as well, for she walked with ease and fluidity, always balanced. This was not the way of the Abellican Church, at least not in Avelyn's mind, and yet the efficiency of the executions of Taddy Sway and now of Bunkus Smealy made Avelyn suspect that Quintall was acting as he had been instructed by the masters before they had left port.
92 impressed catalogue Adjective Gerund UNKNOWN C1 3991 2 The centaur, for the very first time, seemed honestly impressed. And so he worked, as he was instructed, penning the tale of his adventures in great detail, studying and cataloguing the newest stones, their type, their magic, their strength.

94 reflex precedent Noun Singular UNKNOWN C1 3993 2 She was no novice to battle, this one, with finely honed reflexes. Avelyn understood then - all of it - for it was not without precedent.
95 sarcastic elevation Adjective Singular UNKNOWN C1 3994 2 "Am I to swoon, then?" Cat asked, growing bolder and more sarcastic. 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.
96 spirited varied Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3995 2 The man got his answer as grim-faced Pony, sitting tall atop Symphony, came out of the trees across the way, flanked on each side by a score of angry villagers and their spirited mounts. Elbryan smiled wickedly as he considered those steep hillsides, all of varied angles and deep with virgin snow.
97 kitchen acceptance Noun UNKNOWN C1 3996 2 She worked in the kitchen at St.-Mere-Abelle, a beautiful young lady with long black hair and dark, mysterious eyes. Despite his acceptance of the behavior within Pireth Tulme, Jill recognized that he was a man of some honor.
98 toothy fluidly Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3997 2 The older woman clapped her pudgy hands before her, her toothy smile nearly taking in her ears. It had come so fluidly, so fast, that Elbryan was still staring at the elf when he heard the third arrow hit.
99 enthusiasm embed Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3998 2 So Grady's enthusiasm for this alliance held little weight with Cat, but Pettibwa's exuberance was a bit harder to dismiss. Paulson stepped inside the range and caught the spear by the shaft and rushed up its length, quickly and efficiently embedding his sword deep in the creature's chest.
100 represent absently Verb Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3999 2 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. "I hear the birds," he answered absently.
101 reserve consistency Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 4000 2 The monk did get in close enough to one wounded goblin to finish it with a flurry of deadly punches, but he kept his magical energy in reserve. The noise increased - by the volume and consistency of the splashing, Elbryan figured there must be about a half dozen bipedal creatures approaching.
