Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the ones who can caper.

Stately House’s dojo housed a small arsenal, so a combination of barriers and illusions kept it—and Jacques’ calisthenics—neatly under wraps.
No crossers allowed.

Even dragon crossers can slide through those barriers.
