Chapter 1
In The Forge of Thunder
There was only Jen. Jen alone.
His favorite game was to blow his flute and imagine other Gelfling, from just beyond the first trees, summoned by his music, creeping up from behind him as he sat beside the waterfalls. They would be smiling because they would think they were hidden from Jen by the rocks. And when he stopped playing his flute and quickly turned around and caught sight of them moving, they would be obliged to stay with him then, and live with him forever, in the valley of the urRu.
It was only a game he played, on his own.
