Mother and Father have gone into battle. I’m scared. I haven’t heard from them in several slides of the sun across the sky.I climbed out of bed and headed for the personal hygiene room to shower. Are you coming to get me?I’m nearly there.See you in a few minutes then.Thank you, mother halfling.I climbed into the shower tube. “One hundred degrees, full power, half soap.” The water shot on and I slid under the pulsating jets, sighing happily. Hot, soapy water sluiced over my head and body, warming me and igniting my Settling. I wondered where Dialle was at that moment and considered trying to find him later, after I’d dealt with the Black Dragons’ problem.I suddenly realized I’d been promoted—somewhere along the way—to being the savior for yet another world. Apparently I wasn’t busy enough saving humankind over and over again, now I had to deal with saving the dragons too.By the time I’d pulled on a soft, form-fitting black sweater and slacks and tugged on some boots, Glynus was back in my mind.Are you ready to go?Almost.I pulled a few clothes into a small bag, which I flung over my shoulder, and did a quick pass through my living space, making sure I hadn’t forgotten anything.
