Summary
Something sharp and cold burrows between his shoulder blades and settles along his spine. The Shadowhand straightens his back, spits the blood from his mouth and steels himself for the second betrayal of the only friendship he’s ever had. The lie coats his tongue like quicksilver – it tastes a little like grief, and a little like victory.
»Hello Jester. My apologies, I could not contact you earlier. Sudden circumstances disallowed me the visit at last minute, but I am quite hale.«

Summary
Caleb looks up into his blackened eyes, and remembers that Eadwulf has fared better than the both of them. Wulf, who has found meaning in death. Who has found peace, in some improbable way, through his worship.
He smiles, teeth bloody, as he remembers the one burning feeling that has always struck him when looking at the man.
Jealousy.

Summary
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.

Separated from his traveling companion, in a magical dead zone, in a ruin full of horrible creatures. What's a wizard to do?
And that's not taking into account the fall damage.

Summary
Essek sighs deeply and casts Sending. The spell apparates with a white-blue glow, flickering as he speaks, "Hello, my dear. I have managed to get myself trapped under the dresser, if you could be so kind to help me?" his voice is muffled, here, with such close proximity to the wall and sides of the dresser and the rug below. It is a good thing he is in a fairly comfortable position and not remotely claustrophobic.
Caleb's response is warm and edged with a humor that is going to turn hysterical when he arrives to help him, "under the dresser? What, are you cat-sized? No, nein, nevermind. I am on my way up."

Summary
The first letter Essek receives from Caleb Widogast is secreted into his pocket at some point during a tense interview with the Bright Queen. For the life of him, Essek cannot figure out how it was done. He doesn’t recall so much as brushing against the other man as he escorted the Mighty Nein out of the Lucid Bastion.
Yet when he returns to his office, there it is, tucked into a nearly invisible pocket in his mantle — a piece of subpar parchment folded to vaguely resemble a cat’s face with tiny pointed ears.

Summary
The final scene of ExU: Calamity, converted into Shakespearean verse. It is, after all, a tragedy.
Now all is fire, at this age’s end
And as the city falls into its place
So falls the Ring of Brass.Bookmarked by ghosttopiary
