A mage whose knowledge of the magic arts is truly great
But her appetite for knowledge is difficult to sate
Hopefully you soon find what you’re looking for in here
To find that one spell way back when, you wasted a whole year
“It wasn’t wasted, I did find it in the end, you know
Maybe it just slipped your mind, it happened long ago”
“What’s that darling, did you need my help with something there?”
“Sorry love, my deity just had some thoughts to share”

Time is running low, so please focus on your research
I’ll give you all the stats I can to aid you in your search
Once again though, what you’re looking for is beyond me
Why are mortal curses with so much curiosity
“Well look at that, it seems my god would like to chat at well
I’m afraid it seems the world has truly gone to hell
Darling, would you kindly pass me that book over there
I’d hate to knock over this pile of books here by my chair”
Oak and Hawk could clearly see the sky through a window
They were both engrossed in quite important research though
The king himself had barged in earlier to beg they fight
But they quickly sent him away for the rest of the night
“Oak, perhaps we should give them a little help this time
Taking just a little break would hardly be a crime”
Hawk sighed as she watched the royal heroes fight monsters

Through the window they could see the the plight of the fighters
“Just a little longer darling, this is a rare chance
With access to restricted archives, I feel I might dance
There’s so much lost history in here, it’s such a waste
To think the king would sooner see this history erased”
“You know the way he is, it’s all or nothing in the end
To keep his kingdom strong he’d make an enemy his friend
Let him go about his wars, it’s more like his hobby
We can clean things up once we’ve unlocked this history”
The pair continued reading in the library in peace
Even as a battle raged outside that didn’t cease
Portal monsters flew and crawled all over the city
But the pair of scholars had little time for pity
“But do you really think that Twig ties into all of this?
Any evidence of that would be quite hard to miss”
Oak closed one book and opened another as he spoke
A pipe hanging from his mouth which had long since ceased to smoke
“Although I can’t connect him to the portals directly
For such a curse as his to be random is unlikely
If there’s a god who knows something but hides from everyone
There must be some other trace of things that god has done”
“How far back should we be looking, these are pretty old
In what sort of book would tales of hidden gods be told?”
Oak had to commend his noble wife for how she thought
It was almost as insightful as the way she fought
“First, there must be something about the portals’ nature
That, and how gods might be able to know their future”
Hawk was digging through old books like playing in the sand
With a passion Oak found quite easy to understand

“You’re suggesting time magic might very well exist?
After all these years, you think there’s something we have missed?
To think I was content to just enjoy a peaceful life
But that was never an option once you became my wife”
He chuckled and looked lovingly across the library
Hawk smiled back but returned to her researching quickly
They hunted through the dusty archives, emptying the shelves
Learning secret histories of humans, dwarves, and elves

Seriously, get a move on, the whole world’s a mess
This castle may very well burn, if I had to guess
Certainly, it seems there’s something strange hiding in here
Try some unsealing spells and see if answers appear
From his magic pouch, he summoned forth a cup of tea
He’d long become accustomed to this simple luxury
Sometimes the portal war outside did cause the room to shake
But rushing through a good book was a terrible mistake

Dust 2: A New World Order
It can always get worse… A new world order is coming, one that will pit one species against another. Life is about to become very hazardous—for anyone who gets in Dust’s way. With every day that passes, Dust is more afraid of what he will become. His powers are growing far beyond what he can predict, and he is reluctant to tell his make-shift family that he isn’t sure when—or if—it will ever stop. His goal is to get to Portland, Oregon and find his aunt and uncle. Ideally he would get there alone, because he’s far too much of a danger to the people around him, but they aren’t willing to give up on him, and an old enemy isn’t far behind. When they reach Portland, Dust discovers a line has been drawn between those who have been changed and the unchanged ones who want to control them. Can Dust protect his new family from being used or will the power within him become a force that will not only destroy his enemies, but the ones he loves?
