    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron nods his head, slowly, truly thinking about the harpoon. “Yes, yes I do. The hard part will be the launcher, but we have captured enough animals that we should have plenty of line. I have thought about making a trap; but even if we do and fill it with Swimmer Crabs or small fish, we still...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron removes his hat and vigorously runs his hands through his long white hair. He takes a deep breath enjoying the two seconds of the cooling sensation he caused. “Hmm, I could probably wet my hair for the same effect. I had not considered that before. Anyway, I agree with you, but I also...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron sets his hat on the ground beside him, as he sits beside his friend. He wipes the sweat from his brow with his forearm, not that it helps much. “It is nice to be getting enough food to eat, but you are right. This is monotonous; but again, I agree about the Highlands. We basically know...

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Disappointed by the results of using the iron ingot, Whisper remembers that he is carrying two lodestones. He prepares to sling one of them at the same girl. He knows that taking one of them out will significantly improve the situation for he and Jaguar. 10 + 3 = 13, 5

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Though neither he nor his partner seem to be faring well, initially, Whisper can think of nothing else to do other than employ the same tactic, but suddenly realizes that he can use an ingot of iron instead of a stone. He aims for the same girl as before, hoping to take one out. 7, 2

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron shrugs and gestures as if to signal that one plan may be as good as another. “Thanks for the reminder on the cane. I need to do the same thing. I guess we could catch a couple of crabs and crush them for bait, but that will probably guarantee us a black rat. We should probably forget the...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron follows and retrieves the shells that jalakaag tosses to him. He performs the same task, but his mind is on the possibility of catching game. He thinks that he has a bit of affinity with animals, as he has always been able to get much closer to them than other people can, but he is not...

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Taking a hint from his friend's taunt, Whisper adds, "There are only four of you. You should have run." He will charge his stone to release a bright flash when it strikes and sling it at one of the girls.4, 9

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron goes through the motions of records and exchange without really paying any attention to what he is doing. He is thinking, as well. He removes his hat as he sits in the shade, hearing the words of his friend. “I could not agree more, and I have an idea. I was thinking of using the string...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron foregoes the formality but still thanks the woman. He hustles to walk beside Jalakaag. “Let’s go catch some crabs. It sounds more fun than picking up snails.”d10 = 3, 9

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Instinctively causing his image to blend with the natural shadows, Whisper follows his friend, irritated by the laughing. He prepares to launch a sling stone as soon as an enemy is spotted. 1, 6

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron touched his own chest and mouthed the question, “Me?” toward the woman. Like the movements from his friend, it was pointless, a childish display of insecurity. It was a poor trait he needed to expunge. He nodded at Jalakaag and jerked his head toward the clerk as if to say, “Let’s go.”

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron was a little bit shorter than most and wiry thin. The lack of appropriate nutrition probably had to do more with his physique than genetics. He did not know his father but his mother looked like any other Centrin woman. He was as pale as his friend was dark. The skin that was constantly...

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Not needing to use his hands, Whisper attempts to shake the snake loose while causing it to receive an electrical charge. He does not wish to cause himself further harm by trying to rip the viper away. 8, 10 + 3 = 13
