12 Adomru 372 You may wait in the dark for the light to shine, but it will do you no good if you do not recognize it when it dawns upon you. You will hear the cheers and run hard, but this is not your time to win the bright prize. Yet even when you lose the race and do not understand why...

A page hands the Baron of Hamastring a note. He requests Baron Oretzno's indulgence. "From Lord Ilderich, to the Council: 'No key is required to open unlocked doors'."

When the eye is not yet open, it sees more than it permits to be seen. Those who strive to plow a new field may find that the old forest is not yet ready to cede defeat. The hawk narrows his eyes as he seeks his prey, then opens them wide when he finds the morsel. The wise man keeps his...

31 Mers 372 Through the great window, you will see the owl wink at the ox’s tears. In that moment, a life will change. What is hidden in your pocket? Depending on your direction, it will show itself as gravel or gold. A tree’s limbs may reach to the heavens, but only the fish has...

"What do you get when you cross a panther with a dragon?"

3 Mers 372 The bugle call alerts the cat that the mouse has learned a tune. Beyond the garden wall the raccoon eats what he can find. Behind the throne of the fiery Baron, lizards prepare to spit. A lease of hawks trumps a murder of crows, yet only one can be trained to a lure. Which...
