The black cat slinked away -- a very feline thing, Rune decided. She had always preferred the steady loyalty of dogs. Then again, she had never had a dog. She wondered, then, if their simple love was as good as the earned trust and companionship of a cat that chose to stay. When Nezu leaned in...

So it wasn't his cat, but definitely his cat in a sense as it answered him. Rune had all but forgotten the ship rocking its way to shore, the shallow reef, and the sea that had tried to swallow her whole. Staring was rude, of course. Yet as Nezu spoke and then the cat spoke again, Rune could do...

A cat brought her a tiny blanket and Rune looked at it for a moment before taking it with a quiet word of thanks. Unlike the others, its small size suited her perfectly. Doubtful it was going to do much against her shivering (which had very little to do with a chill), she still wrapped it about...

She felt the cold bite of the sea, harsh and unforgiving as she struggled to paddle to the surface. It burned her eyes. Her wool and linen clothes weighed her down and her little limbs were unfamiliar with the motions. For once, she wasn’t thinking of her brother’s scolding voice -- of their...

It is with a great deal of excitement that I pen this letter. Upon your recommendations, I sent out an inquiry to the Arcane Academy and had an opportunity to read Saveli's The Hidden Arts and to finally see Duchess Igraine's Tome for a day, and am pleased to inform you that I have solved the...

The rarity of this tome will certainly make the task of deciphering these runes a challenge worthy of my tenacity! As I am presently abroad it may, therefore, be some time before I am able to inspect the source myself. I must thank you for your help in this matter. If I thought it safe to...

Greetings! I do hope that this letter is not received with any offense. When first I learned that my dear brother had been exchanging correspondence with you, I immediately took it upon myself to inquire after your contact information so that I might do the same. You must not be cross with him...
