"What sort of help are you looking for?" asked Hector. "In a word? Manpower." The captain allowed a beat to pass, look...

' Sounds like you're expecting another attack any moment now ,' said Voreese. "Indeed," said Bartholomew. "We...

Bartholomew looked over their small party another time. "Prince David Lumenbel, yes?" Aha. So he did already know. "That...

That might make sense, he supposed. If aura was the culmination of one's entire self, then having a very different body would probably c...

Hmm. Hector allowed a beat to pass before asking his next question. "If you really don't remember Roman, then why is it you , of al...

It was a child, Hector saw--or at least, it was someone with the appearance of one. He wasn't sure he'd ever seen such a young-looki...
