Sample text:

Everyone realized traveling the roads alone after dark was akin to suicide. Yet Kai followed his master, Doctor Seeme’Ur-Moon, from the safety the walls of the capital city offered to the wild track outward and home.

Kai went through life a simple doctor’s aid, ill-equipped to offer any resistance if the monsters of the countryside decided to attack and dine on them as a late-night snack. The night wasn’t the only time to fear the open road. Death might reach out any time of day or night, but the patrols ended with the daylight, and yet the good doctor decided to leave the capital well after darkness fell upon the land.

Once upon a time, Kai carried a pouch with a collection of stones, all ready to be enchanted. That was long ago when Kai carried on in a more dangerous fashion. Life with Seeme should be safe.

He never considered himself a mage. In his grip, he had enough control of magical energy to enchant an item for a few seconds. Little more than common japes, party tricks. Spells lasted long enough to throw the rock at a target. The longer he worried a stone under his thumb, the more power he charged the item with. The problem was the magic would leave as soon as the rock left his hand.

As a mage, he remained untrained and pretty much useless. Over the years, he’d become a marginally better doctor’s assistant.

The mountains inward blocked the glow of sunlight, the shadows of darkness were near-absolute. If not for the twin lanterns of the cart, the pair would have stumbled along in total darkness. The horse that pulled the cart might be able to find the path, but outside the glow of the lamps, Kai remained as good as blind.
