384 - They All Want to Help Me

Akminchaer stimulated the needles in me and I was floating when Kyriala and Gannara and Ilesias and Grandfather came in.  I was just lying there while the apprentices were tidying up.  They'd put a nice pad of lint and gauze over the incision and then wrapped around my shoulder.  "You need to keep the sling on two days… then you come back and I will see if you may remove it.""All right."The

383 - More Annoyance than I Thought

Socks made a funny little sound and I realized I had squeezed him a little too hard in my surprise.  "Ili. Hello.  Serinas… this is my friend Ili.  I need to go talk to him in private for a moment, if you'll excuse me?  Ili is this your pet?  Your cat too--- no?  Oh good.  Here…"  I was almost babbling.  I needed to slow down.  Atzana was looking at me in that 'there's a story, here' look.

382 - Not Cleared for Work

When they let me in to see Chevenga next morning Kaninjer made me swear, not to overtax him. "You may see him... but he is still very weak... plis don't say anything that is like a report... or that might upset him... all right?"

"I swear."  No one has said what happened, other than it was a training accident. Which was about as likely as me sprouting metal wings overnight.  And no one was

381 - Fourth cousin, once removed

I made it to the door and found Kallijas and Gan and Ili all waiting for me out of the way of the rest of the wings landing.  Ili I had to fend off before he knocked me over, he still hit me pretty firmly with his hello's. Gan stared at the rig that secured my slung arm tight to me but caught me in a careful hug. "Min! Min! Min! You got hurt? Are you all right?""It's fine Min, It's all right,"

380 - My Little Professional GOD!

My head hurts. I open my eyes to some kind of tent.  My mouth is fikken dry as if I'd been blowing glass clumsy as an apprentice.  I blink and my eyes are full of crud, the corners of my eyes and the corners of my lips crusty.  What happened?
How did I get here?  I should… be looking for work in the city.  I.. remember that. I turn my head to one side and see an amazingly beautiful woman sitting

380 - Teaser: My Little Professional GOD!

Author's Note: For some reason this became my very first Teaser post.  The rest of the post will come later today.  I am not sure I will be doing this every time.  But it seems to be a natural progression.  We'll see what happens.  Enjoy!

379 - I Hope I Don't Have to Pee Soon

Sometime later, the door opened and Skorsas touched Idiesas on the shoulder.  Gan was close enough to hear him say "He wants you, Idiesas."  The solas champion refused to get up, but crawled into the room on his belly.  But he didn't come out again.  Ili came wiggling through the crowd, with Jiaklem, and latched onto my one hand with both of his.  "Uncle Gan? What's going on?  The class went

378 - The Vigil

Even the journalists eventually ran quiet, out of questions.  Gan stood next to the door as close as he could and did his best to be invisible in the hush.  People were just waiting.  Twice journalists came in and the Imperial Secretary answered their questions all over again, with immense patience.  "Is Chevenga all right? What happened? How did it happen?"Two beads… perhaps two and a half

377 - Equus, Cease Assail!

Inensa's eyes narrowed at me, over the gag.  I wasn't talking to the floor any more.  Sometime in my address I'd picked up my gaze.  So like mine, but cold.  Do I even want to know her? My grandfather was just as blandly blank and I knew there were depths to him I could only guess at.Her eyes flickered down as if she were thinking.  Then up to me once more.  She gave me the minimal Mahid nod,
