Magician (The Riftwar Saga, #1-2)

Pug shut his mouth, which had popped open with surprise, then asked, ‘Is he truly a dragon, sir?’

A WHAT

Pug nodded and said, ‘It all sounded very strange. What does it tell of?’ Kulgan once more looked at Pug as if trying to see something inside of the boy, then said, ‘A long time ago, Pug,

Lore time

Tomas

Who tf is this

Foul creatures, mighty monsters, and base outlaws had all been fought and vanquished, often accompanied by the death of a great hero, with appropriate last words to his mourning companions, all managed with just enough time left to return to the keep for supper.

Alexa play last prayer

Pug also recognized the Duke’s Huntmaster. An orphan like Pug, Martin had come to be known as Longbow

I know this mf dont miss

Martin said, ‘Old Whitebeard and I have something of an understanding, Pug.

Shirohige?!?!

Arutha was to shadows and night as Lyam was to light and day.

Arutha is loki. Lyam is thor. Got it

The workmen, alarmed at the fragile appearance of the barrel ricks, were quickly emptying some of the contents. Megar came out of the kitchen and angrily shooed them away. ‘Leave off, there will be none left for the evening meal at this rate! Back to the kitchen, dolts! There is much work to be done yet.’ The workers went off, grumbling, and Megar filled a tankard to ensure the ale was at proper temperature. After he drained it dry and satisfied himself that all was as it should be, he returned to the kitchen.

a whole tankard yeah? I know what you areeee megarr

Since he had taken on the position of Kulgan’s apprentice fourteen months ago, everything he had done seemed to go wrong.

We are speeding

Tomas put down his plate and belched. With a satisfied look at the sound of it, he said, ‘With bullies it’s always the same: whether or not you can best them doesn’t matter. What is important is whether or not you’ll stand up to them.

Fax

Pug’s head was spinning. Not only was he to learn to ride, a skill limited to the nobility for the most part, but to be in the company of the Princess as well! ‘When do I start?’

Thr ultimate jackpot

She fixed him with a gaze that would have suited her had an insect been found crawling across a dinner plate. ‘Oh. You’re that boy.’ Whatever brief spark of interest there had been went out, and she turned away from him. They rode awhile longer, then the Princess said, ‘Boy, we stop here.’

Its always the ones you are in love with too. I feel you bud.

He thought perhaps there was more to this love business than he had imagined.

He jus lik me fr

A low groan ending in a sharp cry made the boys turn. Standing behind them was the missing man from the ship, the strange broadsword held loosely in his left hand and dragging in the sand. His right arm was held tightly against his side; blood could be seen running from under his blue breastplate, and from under his helmet. He took a staggering step forward. His face was ashen, and his eyes wide with pain and confusion. He shouted something incomprehensible at the boys. They stepped back slowly, raising their hands to show they were unarmed.

Yo wtf

They spoke in hushed tones, but we could hear them, and their words were without meaning.’ The Queen then spoke. ‘Hearing this, I became alarmed, for

W intersection your grace

Short of you becoming a hopeless boor, she will not be shaken from this attitude until she is ready. I think she has you in mind as her future consort.’ Pug gaped for a moment, then said, ‘Consort?’

Ayyyy w rizz chat w rizz

keep it balanced while he marched. The sergeant of the Duke’s Guard stood counting out cadence for him. Pug knew the sergeant, a tall, friendly man named Gardan. He was Keshian by ancestry, evident in his dark skin. His white teeth split his dark, nappy beard in a grin at the sight of Pug and Roland. He stood nearly as broad in the

Ayyy my people

The three boys joined hands, and Roland said, ‘No matter where we go, no matter how many years pass, never again shall we be without friends.’ Pug was struck by the sudden solemnity of the pledge and said, ‘Friends!’ Tomas echoed Pug’s words, and the three shook hands in a gesture of affirmation.

Theyre about to di the most gruesome deaths, i've seen thi movie beforeee

Her expression became determined. ‘I’m not leaving until I tell you what I came to say.’ Pug knew it was futile to argue. He had seen that look too many times in the past. With a resigned sigh, he said, ‘All right, then, what is it?’ Carline’s eyes widened at his tone. ‘Well, if that’s how you’re going to be, I won’t tell you!’

Shes so cute.

‘He’s a spineless idiot!’ she snapped back. ‘If I asked him to jump off the wall, he’d do it.’ ‘Carline,’ Pug nearly whined, ‘why have—’ His question was cut off as she leaned forward and covered his mouth with her own. The kiss was one-sided, for Pug was too stunned to respond. She quickly sat back, leaving him agape, and she said, ‘Well?’ Lacking any original response, Pug said, ‘What?’

Did this mf just say "wot".

she said, ‘I come here and throw myself at you. I risk getting myself banished to a convent for life!’ Pug noticed she failed to mention his possible fate. ‘Every other boy – and not a slight number of the older nobles – in the West fall over themselves to get my attention. And all you do is treat me like some common kitchen drudge, a passing amusement for the young lord.’

Ladies and gentlemen.. Got em.. We f got em

Carline bit her lower lip slightly, and Pug fought down the urge to take her in his arms and tell her everything would be all right. He had no doubt that once he did that, matters would quickly be beyond his control. No girl in his limited experience, even the prettier ones in the town, aroused such strong feelings in him.

Takes a man Pug. Balls of valyrian steel

He reached out and touched her face tenderly. ‘We have time. I’m not going anywhere.’ From under lowered lashes, blue eyes regarded him with worry. ‘You’ll be leaving with Father soon.’ ‘I mean when I return. I’ll be here for years.’ Gently

There we have it.. Hesgoing to be exiled for comitting a cim h didjt commit and never see her for 20+ years. You camt fool me Feist

Attempting a wry smile, he added, ‘In three years you might not be able to stand the sight of me.’ She came softly into his arms, holding him tightly, her face resting on his shoulder. ‘Never, Pug. I could never care for another.’

Damn..im single af. God please.. when is it my turn

Pug’s side, and when he bowed politely, she said, ‘Oh, get off that stupid horse.’ Pug climbed down, and Carline threw her arms around his neck, holding him closely for a moment. ‘Take care and stay well,’ she said. ‘Don’t let anything happen to you.’ She pulled away, then kissed him briefly. ‘And come home.’ Holding back tears, she hurried to the head of the line, where her father and brother waited to say good-bye.

headstrong women that adores you.. is that whats missing from my life

Pug followed the creatures with his eyes as they rode through a clearing, then, somewhat startled, said, ‘Kulgan, isn’t that Fantus there, hovering near the edge?’ Kulgan’s eyes widened. ‘By the gods! I think it is.’ Pug asked, ‘Shall I call him?’ The magician chuckled. ‘Given the attention he’s receiving from those females, I think it would do little good.’

Yoo Fantus droppping game right now, let him cook

when the castle was nearly taken by the Dark Brotherhood, the dwarves of Stone Mountain and the Grey Towers were on the march to aid the besieged. A messenger carried the news of the castle’s imminent fall, and the dwarves ran for a day and a night and half a day again to fall on the Brotherhood from behind without any lessening of their fighting ability. The Brotherhood was broken, never again organizing under a single leader.’

Packed them boys up

Reaching the edge of the smoke, it recoiled from its touch. It ranged about the edge, unable or unwilling to enter the white smoke. Pug looked past the creature, and the pit of his stomach churned. Clearly standing in the light of a torch held in his hand was Tomas, behind the creature. Tomas looked helplessly past the wraith at Pug and the escaping party. ‘Tomas!’ ripped from Pug’s throat, followed by a sob.

No way right..

shrieked and started after him. Pug saw the glow of Tomas’s torch disappear down the tunnel, then flicker into blackness.

Separates from bestie ... Check

The dragon’s voice rumbled through the great hall, echoing like thunder through a valley. ‘Welcome, dwarf. Thy friend hath told me that thou wouldst not forsake him.’

You can talk!?!?

‘Who was he, Rhuagh?’ Tomas asked. ‘He was called Macros.’

What a name

Meecham came up on one elbow and looked at his master. Gardan did likewise. Kulgan said, ‘It will blow three days longer. We will put in to the lee of an island and hold there until it slackens.’ ‘What island?’ asked Pug. ‘Sorcerer’s Isle.’ Meecham shot up out of his bunk, hitting his head on the low ceiling. Cursing and rubbing his head, while Gardan stifled a laugh, he exclaimed, ‘The island of Macros the Black?’

MAcross the goattt???

Pug was confused by all the different bathing rooms. ‘That sounds like a lot of time spent getting clean. This is all very odd.’ The man leaned on his staff. ‘So it must seem to you, Pug. Still, I expect those that built this house

Bitch i neevr told you my nanme

Until we meet again, keep the hermit’s staff as a sign of friendship and goodwill. Seek me not until the appointed time, for that too is foreordained. Macros.’

This mf is cold

Pug said, ‘What are you doing here?’ ‘Shush!’ she said in a loud whisper. ‘I’m not supposed to be here.’ Pug smiled at the child. ‘I don’t think you have to worry about being heard, there’s too much noise for that.’

She so cute chat

They rode out of the courtyard, where an escort of Royal Krondorian Lancers stood ready to accompany them to Salador. It would be a three weeks’ ride over the mountains

Three weeks!?!

The ride to Salador took four weeks instead of three, for there had been a storm of unusual intensity in the mountains west of Darkmoor. They had been forced to take lodging at an inn outside the village

Just checked the maps. These mfs are travelling

When they were a half day’s ride short of Salador, they encountered a patrol of city guards. The guard captain rode forward. Pulling up his horse, he shouted, ‘What business brings the Prince’s guard to the lands of Salador?’ There was little love lost between the two cities, and the Krondorians rode without a heraldic banner. His tone left no doubt that he regarded their presence as an infringement upon his territory. Duke Borric threw back his cloak, revealing his tabard. ‘Carry word to your master that Borric, Duke of Crydee, approaches the city and would avail himself of Lord Kerus’s hospitality.’ The guard captain was taken aback. He stammered, ‘My apologies, Your Grace. I had no idea . . . there was no banner . . .’

Four lrtter word that begins and ends in a..

‘Take care, Borric, for only Erland stands closer to the throne than yourself. Our King is well aware of that fact – even if you never think of it – and sees daggers and poison where none exists.’

Tf is aerys doing here

The Duke of Salador said, ‘One last thing, Borric. With Erland having refused the crown thirteen years ago, and the rumors of his health failing, many of the Congress of Lords will be looking to you for guidance. Where you lead, many will follow, even some of us in the East.’ Borric said coldly, ‘Are you speaking of civil war?’ Kerus waved a hand, a pained expression crossing his face. His eyes seemed moist, as if near tears. ‘I am ever loyal to the crown, Borric, but if it comes to the right of things, the Kingdom must prevail. No one man is more important than the Kingdom.’ Borric said through clenched jaws, ‘The King is the Kingdom.’

Civil war when uknowns are at our doorstep.

think, in spite of his claims otherwise, it will be Anita who sits the throne in Krondor, not Black Guy.

Woah slow down there buddy

If I have to march the Armies of the West into Krondor and assume the regency myself, that is what shall be, even should Rodric wish it otherwise. Only if the King has issue will another take the western throne.’ Caldric looked at Borric calmly. ‘And will you be branded traitor to the crown?’

Oooooh

Kulgan looked thoughtful. ‘There is little we understand about these Tsurani. Where is this place they come from? How do they cross between their world and ours? And as you’ve pointed out, the most vexing question of all, why do they come? Why invade our lands?’ ‘Metal.’

Bro wut

Pug grabbed Kulgan by the arm. ‘I can’t remember all that. We’ll ride double.’ Kulgan began to protest but was too weak to prevent the boy’s pulling him to where his horse stood. Ignoring Kulgan’s objections, he bullied his master up into the saddle.

Yoo w apprentice. Get yo ass on the horse

‘You’re Prince Calin. I remember you from the Duke’s court.’ Calin smiled in return. ‘And I you, Tomas of Crydee, though you have changed much in a year’s time.

A YEARR!?!?

The Duke’s aide-de-camp had been killed, and with the war beginning its third year this spring, he wished Lyam to join him at his camp in Yabon.

Third yrar. Wtf

He says his men broke in one of the early battles and his “house” lost much honor. He wasn’t given permission to take his own life by someone he calls the Warchief. Instead he was made a slave to expiate the shame of his command.’

Hold on... theyre samurai

The Tsurani made no threatening gesture, but simply flipped the knife, reversing it and handing it to Fannon hilt first. ‘Master think Tchakachakalla enemy? Master kill. Give warrior’s death, return honor.’

Boss

they judged you would not expect an attack from seaward.’ Fannon said, ‘They judged correctly. Since their last raid we’ve patrolled the forests heavily. They couldn’t get within a day’s march of Crydee without our knowing. This way they caught us unawares.’ The old Swordmaster sounded tired and bitter. ‘Now the town is destroyed, and we’ve a courtyard filled with terrified townsmen.’

W play i must say

might be developing into something more than friendship. In the year since Lyam’s departure they

Wastin no time at all huh
