Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon There was a lot of speculation, the most common one being the young man had run away with a beautiful slave girl of a noble clan and fled from Hittite to Bablon. Some began to think that if they had been the young man, they would probably dress her up too, but perhaps privately. They were secretly more interested in undressing her. Amon continued to drink while the people in the room continued daydreaming. Finally, a high,…-

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon The town of Som had a population of over a thousand. It was gigantic compared to the sporadic villages around it. For Amon, it was just a small town compared to Duc. Nevertheless, he enjoyed the blue sky and wooden houses here. Most locals wore cotton and even linen clothes. Observing the richly-grown croplands, the flocks of sheep, chicken and other livestock, Amon could tell that this town’s inhabitants live a much better life than the…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon The way Inanna spoke was soft and sweet. It was a voice Amon had never heard before. It presented traces of a unique graceful quality, like singing a song. Amon felt so comfortable, with an unnerving itch in his chest that made his heart palpitate. He nodded and replied, “Don’t worry. If it didn’t go far, we can find it. Where did you lose the lamb?” “There,” Inanna pointed in the direction Amon came…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon It was Lynk’s habit to have his mouth agape when shocked. But at this moment he mouth paralysed. His face turned red and his hair stood up. His nose sounded like it was chortling but his mouth failed to produce any words. It was when Amon stepped forward and put the staff in his hands that he began to take it in. Falling to the ground, his nose meeting the soil, he greeted, “My god Amon! Please tell me I’m not…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon After the flood, the Charcoal Marsh would rise to the west of the newly emerged land, and with it came the impossibility for large-scale troops to pass through. Hittite’s army would have to first head south and enter the Syah Desert, thereafter they would have to turn to the northeast and march along the newly-formed lake before they could arrive. To its north, there was still the high mountains of the Syah Plateau. The Assyrian army…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon There was a popular joke that circulated among the common people on this continent. “When the dear mages launched magics, they are not only showing how good they are at using the divine power they owned, they are also showing how good they are at throwing away money.” Even the cheapest staff demanded a standard parangon atop. The amount of money a precious or rare staff was worth could definitely bury any rival of its…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Amon did not tell Lynk where he had gone the day before. It was too complicated, and it was better to keep his privacy intact. Amon asked Lynk if there were any marshes or pools in the nearby iron-rich areas so that the Ironbacks could find a new home. “I know of a good place, indeed,” Lynk answered after thinking a short while. “There’s a pool in the thick forest below the rocks to the southeast of the village, not…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon “Mortals can become gods, but the path should begin by waking the power of both sides. I think the gods have plotted together to hide this secret from the mortals. They divided the path to immortality into two, the well-known routes of magic and body arts. Neither of these two paths reaches immortality individually.” “Practicing magic allows one to obtain the power given by the gods, even to get a precious glimpse of…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Amon quickly improved at controlling the boat. He pointed the staff into the distance. Waves appeared around the Ironbacks, sending them towards the boat. Then he flicked the staff upwards and an invisible force dragged the Ironbacks onto the boat. The boat was spacious enough for five big Ironbacks. Exhausted and afraid of this strange space, the four big ones sprawled on their stomachs cautiously. The king…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Schrodinger was lying in the hay. It couldn’t be more real! Stepping closer, Amon could even hear the cat’s breath, rhythmic, like a faint purring. It seemed to be asleep but now Amon wasn’t so sure. He had been well aware that the cat was extraordinary and might harbour secrets. He was telling himself that there were many things he couldn’t understand in a world with magic, so he was never that surprised by it. But…
