Description

At the harvest festival, Luray reluctantly leaves her aged father to celebrate with the most enticing man their village has to offer. After they consummate that celebration, her father stops to tell her he's heading home and an old man recognizes them from a village in their past, a generation ago. All their attempts to deny their secret fail, and by the light of dawn they are tied to the stake to be burned as wizards.

Wizardry and the possession of ancient knowledge are the greatest crimes in this place and time. The peasants fear the legends of the wars of magic. They fear the unstoppable weapons, the monsters and all the powers possessed by the Elves of old. Jealousy helps inflame their fear, for the legends say that wizards live forever and can transform themselves to monsters. They turn youths to cowards and turn maidens into whores. But it's not just the simple peasants that Luray and her father must fear. The king himself wants ancient treasure and will send his whole army to find it, even though they know nothing of what they're dealing with.

Their only hope is a simple farm boy, one who hungers for knowledge, but cannot bear the truth he finds.

This was once a part of The Second Expedition. It is the story of Luray's greatest adventure that she tells to her fellow passengers while voyaging down the Lhar. This is the way she wrote it down and not the way she narrated it on the Lhar.

This takes place in the Troubled Times, an era about which much has been written, but most of it has been written as fantasy. In this there is no magic, though the science that drives the miracles in this has been lost to mankind of the time.

This has echos in today's age, because we humans are on the brink of losing our own science, both to machines and to these same forces of ignorance and fear. In that sense it is still a part of The Second Expedition, because it speaks to the same danger and it happens in the same locale. It opens a window into Kassidor before the Instinct and because of that has violent scenes that could not occur on Kassidor today. This has an Adult label for only in an abundance of caution.
