Fliers of Antares
“I fitted in well enough with Avec the Niltch to guide me, and Ilter Monicep as a smith was quickly at home in the smithy where the angle irons, brackets, and control rods were produced. Slaves, of course, swarmed everywhere. They wore the common gray slave breechclout, and they did the hard and onerous tasks set them by the slave-masters, who took their orders from the Deldars of Slaves.
Truly, I would not have welcomed such a life. But I think you will fully understand my motives. For most... of my life on Kregen I had been cursed by the dark knowledge that at any time a flier might break down and so precipitate me — and those dear to me — into danger. The people of Vallia and Zenicce and Balintol and many other of the places where Hamalian and Hyrklanian vollers were sold lived with this knowledge. A voller was not to be trusted. Yet I knew that within the bounds of Havilfar itself — certainly in Hamal and Hyrklana — airboats were perfectly sound.
The desire to uncover the secret, perhaps to take away with me the knowledge of the construction of vollers, fired me to a determination that made me do things I detested.MoreLess
