Chap. 262 Never Run With a Dagger It’s so typical of people, he thought, that we join the same group we worked with yesterday. I could just as easily walk over to the group Raylan’s in, they didn’t work hay. No one would be the wiser. But I would know, he thought. He’d risen early…

Chap. 261 Stowaways He’d been afraid that he was going to be haying. His fear had been realized. He was exhausted. Only the first day of a week of harvest, and I feel as if I’ve been trampled, he thought. Everything hurt. His arms, his feet, his headache. He’d spent the day heaving increasingly heavy…

Chap. 260 Arse Chewing Our timing was perfect K’ndar said. He was rolling up his still dry harness in Raventh’s bay. The skies had opened up just moments before. “I’ll never get used to how it rains here,” he said, out loud. What do you mean? Look at it! It’s coming sideways! And hard! At…

Chap. 259 Identified K’ndar shut off the datalink. He found himself shaking from stress-or fury? “’E’s your boss, what?” Rand said of Raylan. “And friend. I’ve never heard him so angry. That man, Jomoke-what in the world was he trying to do? Why would he work to get me in trouble, me, a total stranger?…

Chap. 258 The Call Rand led the way through the undergrowth until they reached an obviously human made corral. A three meter high wall of dead vines with long thorns formed the circular structure. In one side was a small framework serving as a door. Following Rand in, K’ndar could see a few tracks left…

Chap. 257 Big Cat Toes He was so concentrating on putting his feet right, not to mention his hand beginning to swell, that K’ndar failed to see the transition from dense, entangling scrub to actual rain forest. His first indication was the temperature dropping several degrees. The relief from the sun’s glare was immediate. His…

Chap 256 Jungle Hike “What in the world have I gotten myself into?” K’ndar wondered. Sweat poured down his face as he panted. Breathing was torture, the air so steamy he was in constant danger of inhaling the myriad insects that swirled around him. His backpack had seemingly doubled in weight, and his back felt…

Chap. 255 The Smell I wonder if I know what I’m doing, he thought. The night raider, as he’d taken to calling the beast, lay splayed out in a very cold room. The cold kept the smell of the beast-which had been dead for several days, from being too annoying. Not much of a biologist,…

Chap. 254 Insult on injury “This be the second time I’ve ever been on a dragon,” Rand, the cotholder said. “This is Raventh, sir. We’ve been together, oh, four years now? Funny, it’s gone so quickly, from Impression to now,” K’ndar said. He stowed a bundle that Leana had asked him to transport to Southern…

Chap. 253 The Night Raider K’ndar stood up and stretched. He wasn’t used to sitting for so long. There were parts of his job that entailed piloting a desk…and he wasn’t so sure he liked it. The last few weeks had been unexceptional, almost boringly quiet. I’ve actually been able to get a lot of…
