-The slender Kethie cleaned her glasses with the corner of her cloak as the dust settled around her.  Her benefactor had paid her a large sum to locate  this forgotten place, and after weeks of pouring over  ancient maps, she had pieced together the location of  the temple.

-A young minotaur bent over his unconscious comrade in the midst of battle, his hands shook as he examined his brother's wounds. His clan had spent a small fortune sending him to study at the finest university in the land. All the hours spent in lectures and libraries, all for this moment.
