WELCOME TO CHAPTER TWO OF WIZARD'S PATH!

 

Broken Bones

 

As Cellian stepped back to curtsy to the mourners, she felt something crack under her heel. She waited for the procession to leave before investigating. Against the wall was a desiccated finger, old and brittle, her heel had reduced the largest bone of it to powder and flakes of skin. She swallowed and willed herself to focus.

"Rufys," she said carefully kneeling down, "come and look at this." The sad remnant of a person looked to have been roughly handled even before Cellian's boot crushed part of it. There were gouges along the dry skin, though what had caused them Cellian could not tell.

Rufys came over and squatted down. "A . . . finger?"

"Yes, from an ancient body. . . I am almost certain."

"Finger? As in a person's finger?"

"Yes," she replied. "But what is it doing here?"

"Well, we are in a catacomb, Cellian . . ."

"Which is a place where the dead are safely interred. This," she pointed to the finger and then the corridor, "is not safe." She looked back to the hall of bones and then to the exit. "But where did it come from? And how did it end up here?"

"Those are good questions," said Rufys standing and looking around. "We could ask the Diviners . . . or the Necromancers."

"How much can either tell us from a single finger? I fear the worse."

"Walking dead?" Rufys gripped his staff tightly and glanced nervously at the archways leading deeper into the tombs.

"No," said Cellian levering herself up, "grave robbers."

Rufys made a sign against evil. "Who would dare?"

"Who indeed," said Cellian glancing down at the abandoned finger.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
