    Hard... So hard... An unbearable torment beyond words: I hate waking up... Especially when I only went to bed three hours ago. And to make matters worse, it wasn't Luritta waking me up, but M-3PO. "At least I got everything done," I rasped in a voice that barely sounded like my own. Sitting up...

    "Children are the flowers of life. On the graves of Mentors." © Rung, sorcerer of the Age of Heroes. I don't like people. And not because I don't know how to cook them, as Ir'rina used to say. I don't mean hatred or contempt by that. I'm simply more comfortable alone most of the time...

    After my conversation with the Nimbus leaders, the rest of the day passed quietly, though I had plenty to do. I decided to set up the workshop in the attic. First, because it was one large, fairly spacious room broken up only by supporting beams, and second, because I liked the sound of rain. I...

    Morning... I should note that mornings are what I dislike most about this world. Over the long chain of years I spent living alone, I got used to waking up whenever I damn well pleased. "Morning is not a time of day. Morning is the moment I decide to wake up," Rung wrote in his Reflections. On...

    After seeing the patient and his wife off, everyone except me retired to their bedrooms. I only asked Maria to make another batch of the herbal brew, then went to the library. The last task for today wouldn't take much time, but it was better to get it out of the way now so I could move on to...

    "What do you think, Alto?" Cordelia was sitting with her cousin in one of the rooms of his house, where they had decided to stay for the night. Somewhere else in the building, the strange sorcerer was busy with his own affairs while the two relatives discussed the conversation they had just had...

    Basically, the Force is magic, yes. But the Jedi and mage "schools" are very different. Force-users from the galaxy far, far away are more like the warlocks of Siith's homeworld — they use innate abilities, but in a different way from the sorcerers of the Turtle.

    The two days I spent in the settlement were filled with an incredible number of discoveries. I think that if I ever manage to return to my own world, the things I learned during those two days alone would be enough to fill an entire book. The sentient beings of this universe were incredible. I...

    "Friendship doesn't always begin over a mug of beer." © Rung, sorcerer of the Age of Heroes. Everything went according to the plan that had more or less come together on its own. The Trandoshans turned out to be a gang of raiders and slavers. The humans were grateful to me, and although some...

    "Good deeds are most pleasant when they benefit you too." © Rung, sorcerer of the Age of Heroes. "Damn rain," I said, staring mournfully toward the mouth of the cave I had returned to with my catch. "Does the fucking stuff ever stop?" A forest stretched all around the little cave, which...

    Neria Surana, an enchanter and biomancer of the Grey Wardens of Ferelden, gazed with quiet sadness through the wide-open window at the temple square and the life-sized statue of Red Steel. The only likeness of a mage in Ferelden ever officially and honourably erected by the Chantry at the...
