A Patron's Favor

by Tycho Ralesh

The next day found Tycho contemplating the folly of his youth. He had always mistrusted mages and clerics all the more. Thus was the Rhennee way. He used to glower and seethe when others used magic to contend with him. He had thought it unnatural and unfair. But now his eyes were opened.
