Do you understand and comply?" Yes, Steward!" One of Jon's companions snickered."Fine, now that we have that bullshit out of the way, show me to the P...tram right now!" Jon ordered.They moved quickly through the Palace until they came to a set of sturdy doors with two guards posted. Nervously they fingered their weapons until Jon's enlisted aide gave them a Guild hand sign meaning "Steward on Official Business".

I learned a lot about plants and animals too. My home had been a small farm in the mountains with eight brothers and four sisters. Besides the huge pile of furs and hides I had saved money and bought or traded for a few things. I went home with two large float sleds packed and overflowing. The farm I bought was seventy kilometer to the northeast of Hell in a mountain valley. It was still winter and there was snow on the ground when I arrived. The house was carved into the cliff on the east.
