The star was particularly bright when the nightmare painter started his rounds. The star. Singular. No, not a sun. Just one star. A bullet hole in the midnight sky, bleeding pale… |
In the middle of the ocean, there was a girl who lived upon a rock. This was not an ocean like the one you have imagined. Nor was the rock… |
I came alert, fists raised, an electric jolt of adrenaline surging through me. I spun, light on my feet, looking for someone to punch, sweat streaming down the sides of… |
Nomad woke up among the condemned. He blinked, his right cheek in the dirt. Then he focused on the incongruous sight of a plant growing in fast-motion before his eyes.… |
Yumi had always considered the appearance of the daystar to be encouraging. An omen of fortune. A sign that the primal hijo would be open and welcoming to her. The… |
Perhaps you were surprised to hear those last words. Tress wanted to stay on the Rock? She liked it there? Where was her sense of adventure? Her yearning for new lands? Her wanderlust? Well,… |
Part of me wanted to stalk out and demand answers. Play the role of irate customer, make them break character. Yet . . . Something about all this . . . A part of me was… |
Nomad slammed to the ground side-first, dragged with frightening speed after the hovercycle. Your healing is engaged, Aux said. And your body has adjusted to the local environment’s lower air pressure. But,… |
It’s terrifying how nightmares transform. I’m talking about ordinary nightmares now, not the kind that get painted. Terror dreams—they change. They evolve. It’s bad enough to encounter something frightening in… |
Tress had noticed that a nice pair of gloves made her daily work go so much better. Now, she meant the good kind of gloves, made of a soft leather that molds… |
The intricacies of dimensional travel are unimportant, and we recommend you not trouble yourself with them. We here at Frugal Wizard Inc.® have done the hard part for you. All… |
The entire city vibrated, and the buildings swayed sickeningly. Cracks appeared in the metal street beneath Nomad, but as he began to panic, his captors calmly stepped across the cracks… |
The local steamwell erupted right as Yumi was passing—at a safe distance—on the way to the place of ritual. A glorious jet of water ascended from the hole in the… |
Leave. Leave the island? People didn’t leave the island. Tress knew, logically, that wasn’t explicitly true. Royal officials could leave. The duke left on occasion to report to the king. Plus he’d… |
Yes, I owned it. I owned England. I owned this planet. I owned this entire universe. On paper, at least. I wasn’t sure about all the specifics—my memory was still performing… |
When Nomad woke this time, he found himself manacled to a wall. No … it was the outside of a boxy ship, one of those forming the arena. He’d been chained… |
The nightmares had originally come from the sky. Painter had heard the accounts. Everyone had. They weren’t quite histories, mind you. They were fragments of stories that were likely exaggerations. They were… |
Tress sat upon her porch, leaning against her mother, and watched the horizon. She held the last cup Charlie had sent. The one with the suicidal butterfly. Her lukewarm tea… |
No, you have not. This might seem counterintuitive, as you’re probably living in your own castle at the moment, commanding legions of peasants while you engage in a Better than… |
Nomad cried out in frustration as Glowing Eyes turned toward the sound, then began shouting orders as he strode—tall and unflinching—back toward the podium. Weapon fire—blasts with a distinctly red-white… |
When I woke up, the young woman and man were standing on the ceiling. Or . . . wait, I was upside down. Yeah, that made more sense. My head had a faint… |
Nomad tapped on the driver’s shoulder and thumbed backward. She quickly glanced over her shoulder, said something he was quite certain was a curse, then bent lower over the controls.… |
All right, let’s talk about me. Uncharacteristically, I don’t want to discuss the topic. This isn’t a bright point in my career, and I would rather the attention be on other less… |
“You . . . do?” I said. “This is a good village,” she said, “with a strong and diligent thegn. Yet, they don’t have much. Why upon the lands would you pick here to run… |
The rain here wasn’t nearly as bad as a storm back home. Just a quick wash of cold water. The sprinkle lasted less than a minute, though they soon passed… |
It was strange to feel a sudden sense of loss and pain for a person whose face I couldn’t remember. But it was there, a knot—no, a suddenly audible scream—inside of… |
Old women? That wasn’t as exciting as he’d hoped. But, hey, maybe one was secretly a dragon. Nomad could tell from the behavior of the others that these women were… |
Painter wound through the next set of streets, tracking the nightmare as the rain tapped him on the head. The trail was difficult to follow; the dark wisps seemed to… |
Walking into a storm wasn’t something usually done on Nomad’s homeworld. Yet he’d traveled the cosmere enough by now to know that even a violent storm on other planets was… |
“What?” Wit said, dusting off his blue uniform—which was untouched by the rain. “A master can’t check in on his favorite student now and then?” He glowed softly, visible even… |
