| 10.12 H (Pt. 1) | “It’s from Hraace, Quarass. Pedagogia Araxia.” |
| 10.12 H (Pt. 2) | “It has been a long time since I’ve done this—but I was taught. The right of [Kings]. Or the rite of [Kings]. Araxia and all [Punners] should be punished. And hers do sting.” |
| 10.12 H (Pt. 2) | “Hraace is no great nation of war. It has few resources save for its people. It’s very balmy. But it is an honor to go, much less be chosen. I was, when I was a boy. The Pedagogia Araxia and the Mentorship of Hraace were among my first vassals. They helped make me into the King of Destruction. Do you really not know them?” |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Yep, he didn’t need her to state the obvious. Elena listened—and the nature of Hraace was immediately evident to her. She blinked, then laughed in the crowd despite herself as the Pedagogia of Hraace, their leader, Araxia, spoke. Oh, really? This was Hraace? |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | When she spoke, she sounded like she was speaking to her audience. The Pedagogia Araxia took a bow and then began; the Horns had arrived just in time. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Araxia slashed a hand. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | One of them actually heard Elena as Gazi jerked a thumb and Trey and Teres got up to go. The frizzy-haired one, who looked to be twenty-seven, turned, and Elena tried to look innocent. But the member of the Pedagogia’s court, or her acolyte or whatever she was, took a swift look around for Araxia herself, then leaned over and whispered—really whispered, not stage-whispered—at Elena. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | “She did. Araxia was assigned to His Majesty. She campaigned with him for twenty years and taught him much of his swordsmanship. He learned in battle, of course, but the Heromakers are good at their jobs. His Majesty would not waste our time otherwise.” |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | The Pedagogia Araxia was not a happy woman when called upon the next day. She was reading a report on how many people had watched the reenactment of the King of Destruction’s rise and was arguing with her Mentorship. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Delitandra was too strident, even pointing out the correctness of her words. She was young, vibrant, ready, and Araxia was the old woman with old ideas. Not so long ago, Araxia had been in her shoes, arguing that the young boy-king of Reim was worth taking a chance on. |

| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Damn that Singer of Terandria. She was changing things too fast, and Araxia didn’t get the new rules of the game. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | “Well, it’s cautioned all twenty-six people who saw it. Were we at the King of Destruction’s side, they’d know our names. For the same woman who helped him the first time, you’ve forgotten how you became Pedagogia, Araxia!” |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | That was too far; Araxia was still in command, and the rest of the Mentorship murmured as Delitandra refused to apologize or back down. The Pedagogia flicked a finger. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Delitandra went with her cortège of supporters, and Araxia sighed. There was a truth to the stinging words. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | When one of their students became famous, some of that wealth and security flowed back to Hraace. It would have been easy to go back to the King of Destruction, but…it had not been a bet Araxia had liked. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Fuming, Araxia sat back and drummed her fingers on the armrest of her seat. She took a gulp of Prelon-flavored milk, a refreshing delicacy in the heat, and spoke. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | The Mentorship looked up, and Araxia activated a Skill. Her eyes rolled into her head, and she spoke first of mundane things. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Araxia had used her [Forecast] Skill to predict a storm, but it might be a storm that could be mitigated by some magical or Skill-based event. Or the storm might hit only part of Hraace. Or it might not be a storm of water. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Predictions were like that. Araxia was, among her classes, an [Oracle], and even she did not trust to her words entirely. But they did help. The second thing she did was speak a somewhat desperate Skill. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | They’d missed Doubte. Araxia’s predecessor had missed the [Hero] and resigned as a result. Araxia was the Pedagogia of now for having seen the King of Destruction. Forty years of ruling a nation, and it was no small thing, even if it was a smaller nation like Hraace. She did not want to lose her seat by missing, and she knew she’d have one chance. |

| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | They needed one, Araxia felt. Something was wrong in Rhir; they had requested her visit, and her emissaries had not said why…but they feared the Blighted Kingdom had begun making [Heroes] of their own. [Heroes] were such odd classes. Everyone thought them to be no more than a powerful warrior hybrid, like a [General] was strong. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | They were wrong. [Heroes] had terrifying Skills and classes. They were too powerful. They had to balance power and fame and temptation and so much more. So…her visitors. Were they worthy? The moment they walked in, Araxia heard Delitandra place a bet, which told her what the young Mentor thought. |
| Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2) | Pedagogia Araxia said that before Gazi said anything. The half-Gazer was mid bow and straightened, seeming disappointed, but not surprised. |
