The
Mahid storage chambers were dark, mostly unlit this time of night.
Sofonisba lit the lamp by the correct door with her candle and
unlocked it.
“Why
do we have to learn how to skate too, Sofonisba?”
“Because
it will help you get on the team or place you really well when the
Competitions for Imperial Guard start.”
“They're
going to call them the Mahid Challenges anyway, even if the

680 - Who Would Use This Poison?

was awake when one of the girls came hammering at his door. He was
an old man and he and sleep would often spar in the depths of the
night, wondering if this night he'd be able to lose both quickly and
gracefully. This evening, unfortunately, he'd defeated sleep and was
sitting up rubbing the cream into his hands that helped with the
pain.
“Pharmacist!
First!” It was Jorasa. When

Current Hiatus
Dear Readers,
I'm sorry I just stalled out in the middle of things.
I have a very lucrative translation job that I am deadlining for and I understand that Karen is on the point of starting to write about the Antarkticans, a culture I came up with years ago, to eventually startle the pants/kilt off Chevenga, so you'll have SOME reading while I'm on hiatus!
I will be out of things until after

678 - A Fan-Slapped Man
Did
this mean that the Temple could cleanse people? Now that It was more
active? But they still had no source of contagion.

looked over at the Imperial bed and saw Ky sitting up, rubbing sleep

Amitzas nodded at
the young man he'd brought. “This is Ubifeksas Ilo, fessas. He
is one of the interesting group of inventors who were gathered to
work together under Shefenkas, inspired by Sera Diadesia.” The
fellow bobbed his head and scrambled his notebook open, paper
rustling wildly. “I have brought him into this discussion to take
