Nestan's Wedding (CH 38)
“In the morning, before the first light of dawn, I awoke to voices outside my chambers. I rose to find my servant, who told me the King and Queen wished to speak with me. Concerned at what might cause them to call me at such an early hour, I dressed and immediately made my way to the palace.”

One Hundred Keys (CH 36)
“A man from Pharsidan woke me at dawn with a message, ‘My son, I know you desire rest, but you were away for three months. In all this time I have not hunted or eaten game killed in the fields. If you are not too tired, come to the audience hall. I await you.’”

Enemy Mine (CH 35)
“After I sent my letter to Pharsidan, I appointed advisors and generals to remain behind and oversee the affairs of Khataeti in my absence. Then I set out for India. Though Ramaz was my prisoner on the long journey home, I treated him as an equal. For me, I held everything I wanted in my hand. I was flush with wealth of every kind, yet glory and honor were the currencies I cared most for.”

The Three Hundred (CH 33)
“We journeyed for half a day until reaching a tall peak. From there, dust could be seen rising from the distant plains, and we understood King Ramaz was coming. I had planned for this moment and called my Knights to me. Though a trap had been set, I did not doubt in the sharpness of my sword.”

First In Last Out (CH 32)
“The morning of our march dawned brightly, illuminating the armies before me. My men were arrayed against a backdrop of azure sky, ready and eager to begin. As their leader, and Amirbar of India, I stood before them like a lion. They waited only for my command. Looking across their endless ranks, I saluted before mounting and ordering the trumpets and bugles to be sounded.”

Words ant Their Weight (CH 31)
“I held the letter a moment before opening it, weighing what was said without words. None of the adornment or formality traditionally accorded between equals was included on or about the paper. Worse, he used plain parchment with no seal. His lack of decorum clearly conveyed an intent to insult. I wondered long at the arrogance and ignorance of such a man.”

The Cave Part 3
Everyone knows that feeling. Your eyes open, often after a very satisfying rest, and all you do is stare at the ceiling for a time while just listening for sounds and trying to interpret what they are. Sometimes there is nothing but silence, and that can be a little unnerving. Fortunately that is not what I woke too. I could hear the steady flow of water, if slightly muffled by the sliding wood door to my right. Sunlight illuminated the room, finding every chink in the buildings make up, a few beams falling directly on my feet. They thus glowed brightly, and I flexed them a little, watching my toes curl in the pleasant warmth.
