Later on, after they had eaten their fill and the fire at the end of the lodge’s great hall had burned down to embers, Falthejn cleared his throat. “I am afraid I will be leaving… Read More

Sif sat at a table at the periphery of the Akademi der Luftsmagiker’s main hall, a round room filling the whole width of the tower. The wind howled outside, and through the panes of t… Read More

Like all the guilds, the Akademi der Luftsmagiker took most of its students at a young age—Sif was twice as old as most new aspirants. Yet it was not unheard of for older children, ne… Read More

For the next three hours, Sif managed to keep her mind from wandering. Leifsson reviewed another dozen cumulation forms, then taught two dozen more, along with a half-dozen new zephyrs. He… Read More

p class=”storytext”> “That isn’t as interesting,” Sif said, waving dismissively. “Tell me about Einar.” Lilja shook her head. “There&rsqu… Read More

They moved on to other topics as they ate. Einar Goransson was the son of a caravaner from the central plains, and had grown up on the roads, tenuous tracks carved from the wilderness, whic… Read More

Sif blinked. The answer seemed self-evident to her, which in her recent experience meant she was thinking about the wrong question. She was cold because it was cold—she was surrounded… Read More

Sif thanked the Twelve that Leifsson had gotten around to teaching resonances. Magnus Trollkarl’s books made reference to the technique but gave few hints on employing it, and her own… Read More

They returned to the Akademi der Luftsmagiker without further incident, though they jumped at every shadow. Or, at any rate, Einar and Lilja did. Sif wasn’t about to try to jump given… Read More

Sif’s eyes snapped open. She sat bolt upright, heavy blankets flying off of her. Her breath came in frantic gulps as her eyes darted around the room. A simple bed, a chest at its foot… Read More

That was a question Sif didn’t quite know how to answer. She looked down and away to buy herself some time. The Shining Hand in the park had been magiker, that she was sure of. Her… Read More

Sif swallowed. That was bad news. Outwardly, though, she smiled. The elder magiker could have walked by without saying anything. Sif appreciated the effort to make her feel better, and she… Read More

Sif woke to a pounding on her door. She opened her eyes, groggy, and flipped her blankets off to the side. It was cold. She swung her legs out of bed, stood, and felt the chill of the stone… Read More

She saw the purpose of it. If pressed, she would even admit it was good for her. That didn’t mean she had to like it. There was a well in the courtyard, up against the outer wall. H… Read More

Sif approached the bar, Lilja and Einar following in her wake. The lodgekeeper circled the stove to meet her. “Get something for you?” Sif produced her letter from the sleeve… Read More

She placed the quill into Tyrssen’s outstretched hand with bad grace, and stared at Falthejn’s letter. One moment, there was nothing. The next, there were two new postscripts. A… Read More

Ansgar Leifsson circled the Akademi’s courtyard, walking in the shadow of its outer wall. The fog had nearly gone. Off to the south, he could see Yngvar’s, perched atop its dist… Read More

Half a lap later, on the north side of the courtyard, he faced his first- and second-year students. Baltasar Rasmussen had already corralled the others. The students left with him stood i… Read More

Sif knew Lilja much better. ‘Timid’ seemed to her too mean a word, but it wasn’t wrong, if she was honest. Lilja was nearer the bottom of the class than the top, Sif would… Read More

Worth a try. Sif bit at the inside of her lip. An idea came to her, but it seemed to her to be a bad thing to say with her classmates in earshot. If Leifsson expected her to do better than… Read More

“Well done, Sif Hrothgarsdottir!” Leifsson called. He canted his head sharply. Sif felt the blow in the weave a split-second before it arrived. A scything draft caught her by… Read More

Some of the others stayed at the poles in the hopes of roping in a spotter. Sif gently disentangled herself from her friends, assuring them that she would be fine. She caught Gyr Didriksson… Read More

I’ve seen a few things which have me excited to go back to the Skypirates universe. We’re getting close to the end of this interlude. Sif needs to talk to Leifsson, and after tha… Read More

He didn’t see her until she was nearly on top of him. He was clearly surprised. Barely thinking, Sif slid into the chair across from him. He swallowed, and the corner of his mouth t… Read More

“What did it say?” “Nothing. It was just a drawing of a hand, like this.” Sif held up her hand, fingers together, palm facing Leifsson. He sat bolt upright, as t… Read More

There was a knock at her door. She slipped a bookmark between the pages, reverentially folded the book closed, and padded over to the door. She pulled it slightly ajar and peered through th… Read More

Lilja stood. Sif stacked their dishes—she saw no reason to make the servants’ lives harder—and followed suit. Einar was playing the besieging side, the one which started… Read More

Einar raised his eyebrows, but silently led them to the stairs up. As they left the great hall, he prompted, “Ansgar Leifsson said…?” Sif shook her head. “Someone… Read More

She descended the staircase to the great hall. As usual, it was nearly empty at this hour, and the fire on the hearth had burned down to a man-sized pile of glowing embers. Einar and Lilj… Read More

Leifsson, being an actual, experienced magiker, has a few tricks up his sleeve which the youngins don’t know yet. The post Commentary, The Continuing Adventures of Sif No. 43 is part o… Read More

Leifsson closed his eyes. Sif watched the poster. It remained resolutely ordinary. She looked up at Leifsson searchingly. “Is it broken?” “No,” Leifsson replied, r… Read More

“The Shining Hand failed,” Leifsson replied. “Before they even began, really. A loyalist to the throne learned of their plan, and the Akademier put a stop to it. The munda… Read More

“Good,” Leifsson said. “You may go. Not you, Sif Hrothgarsdottir. I have other business to discuss with you, while you’re here.” Lilja stood, smiled tentativ… Read More
