https://i.imgur.com/4n25Ko7.png Khan's ploy seemed to work, as one of the training men chuckled, then instructed his pupil to see the act done. Khan bowed his head in gratitude, but watched Koto cautiously as he passed. Was it wise to have a trained fighter attack Magna? Only time would tell. Bette...

A glance at Khan's beady eyes revealed a similar feeling of dread. Even Pacheco seemed to hold his reservations at the sight. [in...

https://i.imgur.com/jxzhKQJ.png 5th of Ash, 120 Khan's lessons had paid off, it seemed. Over the course of three months, the halfbreed was speaking almost fluent vithmi. She led herself, Pacheco, and Khan through the country roads of Atinaw with her own tongue, where she asked strangers for directi...

Granted, she'd had a lot of adventures on the roads between where she was and the free cities, but it ...

https://i.imgur.com/4n25Ko7.png "I know, I know. Sorry," She spoke again and bared her teeth in an uncomfortable cringe. Khan had told her time and time again during their stay in Hopsfel not to pet the various Rathari, no matter how badly she wanted to. It was hard, especially when the little liza...
