Dan glanced along the line of settlers who had shown up to learn how to hurl stones from a sling. It wasn't everyone in the settlement - a few had more urgent tasks, like setting up a food supply, - but it was at least two thirds of them. Luckily, he had a stack of slings in his pack...
Dan set the edge of the blade against the bare soil, rested his foot against the bar at the top of the blade, and shoved downwards. The spade bit deep into the dirt, and he levered it up again with a pile of soil resting on the blade. He carried it a short distance from the hole to...
It had been a few trials since Dan had taught Common Sign at Eureka. It had been an interesting lesson for Faith, and she was very keen to make sure that everyone in Eureka had at least some, basic signs. They had a member who was deaf and who communicated via sign - a young girl...
Faith looked at Alissa and sighed slightly. They're called Lethe, so Stone Talon tells me, she said. The small mouse-sized flying things. Ever since they got back from Quacia these things had From the Guild of Raw Materials...
Solitude stands by the window
She turns her head as I walk in the room
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Dan set up for the lessons in Common Sign in the Inn. Sight lines mattered for signing - if you couldn't see what the other person was saying, you couldn't respond to it. That meant that multiple rows of seats were out of the question. Instead, he set out a part-circle of chairs and...
A few days passed when he'd arrived in Caervalle Town, he at first took it for the outskirts of Rharne or the Dust Quarter. The trees backing Caervalle Town had appeared as if they were the walls of Rharne to his tired eyes in the early dusk, while the town itself was quaint...

Fourth in a series dealing with this settlement challenge/plotline
As the sun dropped to the horizon, threading streaks of red and gold into the handful of clouds, Dan threaded his way through the settlement at a moderate pace, retracing his steps to the...
Having sorted through the clothes that he wasn't currently wearing and gathered up the ones that needed to be mended, Dan tucked himself into a warm corner of the Inn, and picked up his sewing kit and the first item to work on. One of his shirts had popped open...
Dan walked beside the ponies, a heavy pack on his back, glad to see the jutting mountain of Eureka coming closer. He should reach it on the morrow, all else being well. He was walking, because it was taking both ponies plus his own pack to haul the venison from...
They'd treated the wound from the mast's shrapnel as best they could at their camp. Dedicating one of the copper pots they could've used to boil whale fat toward the boiling of saltwater, pour over the wound, and then crudely...
The prior season had been uneventful, but for some business in Eureka and have a chance and very lucky meeting with his associate, Faith Augustin. She’d healed the gash in his shoulder and probably saved his arm into the bargain. He owed her much, and in fact, considered her part...

Third in a series dealing with this settlement challenge/plotline
Dan eventually found Faith in what would eventually be the main garden. The string of dead animals was draped over the garden fence, looking even more like a macabre...
The berries were ripe now, so Dan rounded up a group of people to pick them. Most of the settlement's children came, and enough of the adults to keep an eye on them and stop any disasters from happening.
Two of the adults had been in the group that he had taught to make fish traps....

Second in a series dealing with this settlement challenge/plotline
Dan moved along the river bank at a steady pace, heading upstream from the willow tree that marked the spot where the fish traps were set out, past the bed of cattails, towards the sloping shelf...
It had been fourteen trials ago that they had decided what they were going to do. They were going to come here. Here being outside of Rharne, on the other side of the mountain to Volta. A place which had everything they wanted. It was isolated - it was weird and had strange and...

First in a series dealing with this settlement challenge/plotline
Dan quickened his pace as a cacophony of shrieks and yells sounded ahead of him, wincing at the volume. He'd drifted back into Eureka the evening before, bringing a pair of plump pigeons as a guest-gift for the pot,...
Dan was moving from one campsite to another when it happened. Even though he had been giving Volta and its endless lightning what he thought was a wide and cautious berth, a bolt of dry lightning seared down only a handful of yards away, and Cloud, quite understandably, spooked.
