Though they said not a word while I performed my ritualistic gyrations, they later revealed, upon politely requesting I pass them a cup of yellowish powder that smelled of salt and fire, that they spoke my language fluently.
Rayla Heide
Breathless, he edged away, looking for an escape. He hammered his fists against every door, but each was bolted shut.

Michael McCarthy
“Ah— Hey! Bo’lii!” I cry out. “Cut me a little deep, don’t you think?”
I crane my head up and around from the wicker mat I’m lying prone on to stare right into the eyes of the vastaya kneeling over me.

David Slagle
Something inside me knows that’s where the song came from. “Sword first, Willump, I’ll cut through the wind!”

John O'Bryan

Michael Yichao
