“Granted, these were the Lost Lands, by far the ugliest area on any of the Five Worlds. The ground, the air, the water, even the clouds were filled with mutant creatures and poisonous substances. Food had to be tested; crops couldn’t be trusted; water had to be purified and filtered; oxygen, in some places, wasn’t oxygen at all but a mixture of deadly gases that would kill any man or woman stumbling into the poisonous pocket.And then there were the animals and insects: horrid things, many of the...m abhorrent to the eye and even worse to the touch. Sentries sometimes disappeared, never to be seen again, swallowed by something in the earth or carried off by something in the air. Dalin himself had seen a cloud descend, as a fog, over a lookout stationed on a far hill, and when the cloud lifted, the man, save for his smoking boots, was gone. Trees were not always trees; harmless looking beasts, looking all cucidlesome???cuddlesome fur, turned all teeth and claws on closer approach. Nothing was as it seemed.And yet …And yet …Dalin felt at home.The sky overhead was not always blue, as he had been accustomed to when residing in his grand palace.MoreLessRead More Read Less
