04/05/2004“You would keep information from me?” He ran a finger up my arm slowly, starting at my wrist, creeping up to my shoulder as he said in a near whisper, “You know, don’t you, that in my darker days I was considered an expert torturer?” He paused and let the silence in the room envelop his words.

04/22/2004I didn’t expect the pain. I’d practiced this again and again, but this time, as soon as I began to slip back into my own physical form, I was wracked with excruciating pain. I came to full consciousness with a scream. Every movement was torture as I tried to rise. I got as far as my knees before I had to stop and gasp for breath. It made perfect sense; I should have expected that being hit by a killing spell thrown by a powerful wizard--even one who may have pulled his punch--would leave a bruise or two.

06/01/2004The very last person on earth I needed to see at that moment was a pimple-faced courier. I went to the door ready to get rid of the interloper as soon as humanly, or magically if need be, possible.
Chapter 15
06/14/2004I had never had a good conversation prefaced by the words ‘That’s something we need to talk about.’ I had no reason to suspect this one would be any different.
