My question hung in the air. “You look—different. I remember you—but I forgot your name,” Helena finally said.
“Really?” I said in disbelief. “Well, I guess we rarely talked, so it is understandable. I see you became a legionnaire.”
“And you became a Hound,” she ...

The array was much more complex than I had anticipated. Fortunately, the plans had minor artificed devices to help with the alignments. The most useful were paired compasses, which always pointed at each other. This was my first task, anchoring one of the compasses in the center of the palace where the contr...

The reality was settling in that I was alone. It felt odd, as there should be no other human within thirty miles of me. My new home was about a thousand feet up a rocky slope from the water. Only a few bare bushes dotted the path down the slope. Lines of white foamy waves crashed ...

Five members of Castile’s company were mixed in with other unfamiliar legionnaires: Blaze, Mateo, Adrian, Lirkin, and Kolm. Adrian started laughing good-naturedly, “Look at our new Hound. All dressed up and ready to hunt the enemies of the Empire.” He approached, and we clasped wris...

So, I am writing right now (Incubus and Soldier chapters on screen)—a mental break at the moment. I need suggestions for spell forms for the World Affinity for Soldier.
