Chapter 22: The Keep of the Pale Lady

The three had taken another quest. Between entertaining the children every day for half an hour and their training, they had no time to relax. But Morris could now break into Novice locks, Dorian could cause sparks to flare in his left hand, and Leander could do an arrow barrage, but only of about three arrows at a time.

Dorian forced the sparks closer together. Which would help him in close range. He also knew a beginner wind spell that he could use to fan the flames.
