  1. The Aethersmith

The Alchemist

Granny Strega cinched up her traveling satchel—satchels, packs, pouches, and pockets were all filled with things she might need on this journey—and locked up her grounded airshop Hazel for the first time since she'd arrived in Ramsgate. Traveling to an island infested with Agaric spores and creatures the Arbourhome Farslayers weren't prepared to face was a bit outside her usual methods of operation, so she wanted to make absolutely sure she wouldn't be caught unawares.

True, the primary goal of this expedition would be discovering the current state of those islands, but Granny's goals weren't quite the same as those of Xelya or the Ramsgate Slayers that Kat Sorrel sent along with her. Their purpose, near as Granny could tell, was to inspire the refugees to take back their home. The Ramsgate Slayers were thinking along the same lines, she was sure, but also sought the power inherent in charged terra archonite to help in the overall war against the Behemoths.

Granny? She wanted those spores. All of them she could get. For those spores represented the first truly new alchemical discovery she'd heard of in ages. Living aether that could infest and alter not only aetheric entities like Behemoths, but also animals, plants, the very islands themselves?

Oh, what she'd be able to cook up with those. Even if nothing else came of it, she'd be able to whip up a spicy Dark Harvest stew.
