The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Nineteen
19 "This doesn't make any sense," David grumbled. The three of them had spent the past two days camped in the lowlands, enjoying the more temperate climate created by Nepal's highly varied geography. Will and Jenna were out side, tending to the camp...
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Eighteen
At that point the papers all started referring to him as-- "the wandering shadow?" will had to fight to keep a straight face. "what kind of ridiculous name is that?" jenna, unable to read without the aid of the glasses, looked at him oddly.
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Seventeen
17 When Will woke again, his first feeling was hunger. Then, the pain returned. Struggling to move his weight with only one arm, he just barely managed to push himself into a sitting position. He looked around, but saw only darkness. It must be the...
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Sixteen
16 Darkness. All around him Will saw nothing but darkness. At least at first. Before long, points of light--in all different colors--began to appear in the darkness, swirling and flowing as though disturbed by light but persistent wind. He seemed to be...
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Fifteen
15 Sargent Mirza Alim stood outside Cairo's M.E.L.D. precinct, watching the last rays of the setting sun. It was symbolic to him, in a way. The light was fading from the world and so too was a darkness falling upon the city. It touched him--chilled him...
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Fourteen

The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Thirteen
13 Logan breathed deeply of the cold night air. At least he assumed it was cold. He couldn't really tell anymore. Worries of the flesh--temperature, for example--had held no sway over him since his change. Even the act of breathing was little more...
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Twelve
12 "Chimeras?" "No." "Sea serpents?" "Not as far as we know." "Okay...er...give me a minute here." Will shook his head and took one hand from the reigns to wipe the sweat from his brow. It was only mid morning, yet the sun was beating down with...
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Eleven
11 "So, remind me again what it is we're hunting down here...or rather, why don't you tell me period?" Will turned back to look at David, who was trailing a few feet behind him. He could only just make out the outline of the illusionist in the...
The Wandering Shadow: Chapter Five
5"I told you already, she's perfectly tame!""And I told you you'll need some sort of proof, or you'll need to have it travel in the cargo area."Will let out an exasperated sigh. For the past ten minutes he had been arguing with the clerk before him, a...
