After weeks of lengthy travel, Vohro is forced to pursue a young boy who abruptly steals his champion horse. Capturing him with ease, the deaf warrior eventually lets the boy go, only to have the young thief beg to be trained as a Davinian Blademaster. Unwilling at first, Vohro slowly warms up to the boy, and recognizing certain qualities in the boy that reminded him of how he once was, Vohro gives into the boy's wishes. Soon after the two form the bond of teacher and student, they are thrown into a dangerous supernatural world when they infiltrate a mystifying floating temple, landing in the trenches of the good Dr. Fangtasahd's Asylum. Inside, they witness the horrors committed by the supernatural doctor-beast, ultimately leading them into the abyss of a womb-like temple which harbors a sacrificial table known as "The Altar of Men." After a fierce struggle with the perilous forces living inside the asylum, the boy is forced to escape, and fearing his teacher dead, leaves Vohro behind to an unknown fate.
This installment introduces a new character, Jeskun bal Janvai, a young beggar thief who, by his own merit, is accepted by Vohro to be his first pupil--and mischievous companion.
Series No. 2: The Abandoned Asylum of the Good Doctor Fangtasahd: 21,500 words (the equivalent to 70 paperback pages). Includes illustrations.
