Chapter 70: Lore Master

Rhychard glanced back and forth at both of them, each appearing locked into their position. Finally, he turned his full attention to Tryna, her hands still clasped behind her back. She had the body of a tiny three-year-old even though she had been alive for six hundred years and a Keeper of Knowledge for half of her lifetime. She aided Jamairlo, the elven Warrior from whom Rhychard inherited the Guardian Sword, for a century and a half before the elf was slain. At his death, she surrendered her post, believing the elves sacrificed Jamairlo, instead of coming to his aid. She only returned to keep Rhychard from ending up just as dead as his predecessor. He was glad she had, for she saved his life more times than he could count.
