"You don't need to thank me," Kalei smiled brightly. "If anything, I don't understand. It's never made sense to me that anyone could think that a person is something you can own. I don't think I ever want to understand the way a person like that thinks. Now, let's see..." Reaching down to his...

Kalei's eyes widened slightly. Fifty years? This person had been a captive for more than twice as long as he had even been alive. The thought was almost enough to make him queasy. "Anyone who thinks they can 'own' another person deserves whatever payback they get," he stated firmly, his face an...

Kalei's eyes had widened a little when Senda emerged from the darkness. He'd heard stories of half-horse creatures, and had plenty of encounters with the merfolk whose lower halves were those of the creatures of the sea, but never any that had an extra half a head on top of their own. He might...

While any experienced survivalist would have chided him for sleeping beside a lit fire in the open without so much as a cave mouth to ward off predators or bandits, Kalei wasn't expecially concerned about such...

Unsurprisingly, Nolani had no greater insights into the contents of the letter than he did, and could only agree on its strangeness. She hadn’t heard of the Dragon’s Den, and neither had Captain Prior when he returned shortly after. As enticing as the promise of a new adventure was, it didn’t...
