256 - A Tor Enchian Ladies' Carriage

Minakas shook me and cried. He cried even though he thought nobody could see him through the tent he was wearing but I could hear him sniffle. But he was smiling too. He wouldn't let go of me. I didn't want to let go of him. Urapahlia got me all cleaned up after she got me out of the toilet spot between the two buildings but Kefas needed help and he was very dirty. We went into the

255 - Tithe to the Gods

I have been waiting and searching these alleyways. This is the second night in a row and the third morning. Gannara got me to lie down but I could not sleep. Little brother. I started out hating you. I was afraid of you. Not your fault. Chevenga taught me I could try to love you. I'm getting a little mad, I think. I held onto the pendant on my neck as if it could bring him to me again.

254 - Swallowing my Pride

"Hey, baby, don't go in there by yourself!" Guardswoman Urapaliha called after me. "Come along now, we'll find your brother." "Guardswoman, has it occurred to you he might have come down this alleyway?" "Yes, yes, sweetie we'll start asking again when we get around to the street on the other side."

253 - Can I Not Buy Notice?

252 - Minakas is a Poop

Author's Note: I will be posting early and short, because today I am going to take it easy, but I couldn't leave my readers hanging any longer... well, you'll see._________________________________ Minakas was being a poop. He said he was going to get me a knife… my first real knife an' teach me to use it, instead of a stupid old stick. It was just 'no. no. no. All the time.' So when he said

251 - He Must be Sulking

The Yeolis had traded a load of raw wool and fine-finished cloth at Fispur and bought tin and copper which they'd traded in Tor Ench for porcelain ware and fine woodcraft work… and a pair of horses, lifted onto the deck as gently as if they were crates of eggs, even as the stallion screamed and thrashed and made a complete nuisance of himself. "No. Ili . We are not going to the market to get

250 - Nearly at Hyerne

The Wall of the Lost By Minakas Akam There is an unconsecrated, forgotten graveyard in the Marble Palace. In the hallway leading to the Imperial Burial chamber, towering up to the gallery above, where the public passes by to proceed to the Crystal Throne room, there is a wall with a number of carved images on the marble tiles. There are no names carved into the stone and people
