Chap. 312 The Invisible Rand Raventh landed atop the fallen tree in the middle of the large clearing. K’ndar dismounted and carefully climbed down from the tree to the floor of the clearing. Once again he was astonished at the tree’s enormous bulk. Knee high saplings had sprouted all along the top, racing for the…

Chap. 311 The Berry Code “Hi, K’ndar! I was just about to call you.” K’ndar entered Jansen’s office. The data tech had half a dozen open notebooks piled on her desk. “You must have been thinking extra loud, because the thought hit me that you might want to talk,” he said. “I do. Remember I…

Chap. 310 A New Project Jansen looked victorious. “It took a while to find that beast in the database. Your initial data fills in a big part of a blank, but it’s still a mystery.” K’ndar was standing next to her workstation. “So I’m not the first to describe it?” “Well, that depends on what…

Chap. 309 Whose Doggy is That? “It’s obviously a herbivore,” K’ndar said. He was sketching the carcass. “There’s no doubt in my mind the dogs killed it. Look at all the tracks!” “Did our dragons scare the beasts back into the forest last night, or did they know the dogs were coming?” B’rost asked. He…

Chap. 308 A Busy Night “Thank you for the sheepskin, and for dinner,” K’ndar said. The two dragonriders were tucked in between the forelegs of their recumbent dragons. “You’re welcome, but I don’t get the credit for anything but the idea.” “Now that my tum is full, my ears are empty. Talk to me,” K’ndar…

Chap. 307 Missing “No, I’m not an idiot, K’ndar. I knew what I was doing,” B’rost said. “B’rost. You’re a healer, you should know better than to eat a handful of unknown seeds! They may have been toxic!” “Uh uh, K’ndar, you’re right, but in this case, these trees are called chezznuts. They’re native to…

Chap. 306 The Tree Line I see scavengers Raventh said. Below them, Singing Waters Hold had changed from equatorial jungle on the northern coast, to temperate rain forest, to steppe, and now, savannah. See them? Very large raptors. They’re feeding on something. I’ve never seen them bigger He saw a seething mound of raptors and…

Chap. 305 Probation “This time I’m ready for any weather,” Risal said. K’ndar grinned. She had on a heavy jacket, a wool hat, and gloves. It was a bit warmer than needed for the dining hall. “And of course, it’s going to be a warm day,” D’mitran said. “I don’t care. I can always take…

Chap. 304 Repercussions K’ndar, D’mitran and B’rost exited the Council chamber. They moved to the waiting area where people were waiting to petition or report. “Whew, ” B’rost said in an uncharacteristic whisper, “That was intense.” K’ndar stopped and wiped the sweat from his brow. “It was. We were treated gently. The Council isn’t savage…

Chap. 303 The Price of a Blow He was thinking fast as Rath soared into the sky. What am I doing? How do I play this? Once they cleared the ridge on the western shore of the river, Rath leveled out, searching for the men on the beach. Firoth, T’ovar’s dragon, saw Rath and bugled…
