Wizard of the Grove (2016)
“No one saw the manshaped shadow slipping from shelter to shelter. Even the Duke of Belkar’s guard failed to see it as it passed almost close enough to touch. What was one more shadow amongst the shadows of the night. Unnoticed, the intruder moved around to the back of Belkar’s tent.
After checking that he remained unobserved, the shadow slipped a knife from his sleeve, the blade carefully blackened to prevent a stray bit of light from giving him away. Slowly, quietly, he slit the canvas wal...l and then slid through the hole. Only a thin black line showed he had been there at all.
It was dark, but the shadow deftly threaded his way around the furniture and the scattered pieces of armor. He made his way without incident to the center of the tent where, by the dividing wall, there was a bed.
The occupant of the bed stirred, rolled over on his back, and began to snore. Loudly.
The shadow moved silently forward.MoreLess
