the Chasm of Bones, and the only one not to have

transform into a monster.
90. Ive been to the Inner Moon and will do
anything to avoid returning.
91. Blood split by the cursed spear Bringer of
Monsters transforms into chimeric aberrations. Why,
then, did it create me?
92. Demons show up to my performances, observe
politely, and leave. They look amused, hungry.

my old life.
99. I used to be a smuggler of magical secrets.

really. Anyway, some powerful folks are calling on
me for one last score. Maybe I even have it in me.
As for not using those secrets, I lied.
100. Undead are unerringly polite to me. It doesnt
stop their hunger or subsequent violence, but they
still know something I dont.

Cuts.

me.

mercenaries and kingmakers.
104. The sages agree: my tail is either a blessing,
a curse, or a sign of spiritual infidelity in my family

necessary insects. Without them the local ecology

106. I am the prayers of a volcano given flesh, but
my thoughts are my own.
107. Everybody knows I killed the lieutenant of an
icon. No one but me knows I pushed her off a cliff-or why.

this day, I smell like dragon.
109. Im an elven carnivore, like some kind of
jungle cat.
110. Everybody in my village was scarred by a rain
of dragons blood. We share the dragons dreams.
