Synopsis: Alazne Serkan and the Scribe of the Golden Oryx
Alazne never wanted to be a mage. She wanted to be a civil engineer. But when her great-uncle dies back in Arabia, the magic has to choose someone, and so it chooses her. She's convinced to study magic under polymorph Matthew Montane, also known as the Golden Oryx. There, she meets another mage-in-training, Matthew's scribe, Amber, who can write the past and the future with great clairvoyance. What happens next? Well, there's a taxidermied undead possum, and god only knows what after that. o_o It's November. Someone's bound to die.
Excerpt: Alazne Serkan and the Scribe of the Golden Oryx
Surprisingly, they left in the morning. Flanders drove. Alazne didn't really think that Matthew could be bothered to learn. The man could turn into a deer when he felt like it, after all. What did he need cars to get around for? Anywhere that deer were weird things to see had public transportation, thus explaining the weirdness of the deer.
Okay. Not a 'deer'. She'd been lectured on the point by Flanders quite often. Matthew Montane was not 'the deer'. He was 'The Golden Oryx.' Gag. If there was any more hero-worship on that spoon, Alazne wouldn't be able to call it a spoon anymore. It would be 'a bent piece of metal that maybe once was used to eat cereal or ice cream and then held in place on one end and weighted down with another until it bent itself double trying to obey physics.' But that was a little wordy.
