About this ebook
The path of Sslasl's life led him to become a master mixer to support the orphanage. Then a fluke chance review of a proposed propulsion mix brought him to the attention of Master Masl. Now he was apprenticed to her in the mastery as he led a team to build a fuel mixer to allow war ships to travel extremely long distances without refueling stations. But fate was not yet finished with him.

A dedicated reader and writer, I have always loved a good character. Heroic magicians, iconic warriors, and everyday people who overcome adversity are what I seek in both my reading and my writing. Some of my favorite books are Andre Norton's Witch World series, Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders, and Christopher Stasheff's Warlock series. I like to take characters that are believable and show how they overcome long odds to succeed, or simply adapt to their environment to accomplish happiness for themselves and others.For me, writing is just like reading, I may know how the story is going to eventually end, but the joy is in the journey that unfolds day by day.

Sslasl and the Mastery
Sslasl wiped the sweat from his brow and took a deep breath. He had hoped he would be a little more competitive with the staff given the training he had received as a child. Not so, the apprentices here had learned techniques he had never seen before and it would be some time before he could compete evenly with them in any of the martial arts.
He had a strength advantage and was able to cover for lack of skill in grappling but even there, he was not good enough to win against Master Nev’s apprentices.
Don’t sweat it Sslasl, we all had a first day in the martial arts. You have done better than many of us did on our first day, you are fast, and know how to use this, just a matter of technique.
Sslasl smiled with embarrassment as he took Tul’s hand and climbed back to his feet.
Thank you Tul, but I doubt you were ever quite a clumsy as I have been today.
Tul, was much smaller than Sslasl but was very fast and had bested him easily with both the staff and in wrestling. Every one of Nev’s apprentices that he had faced in the testing phase had defeated him easily, and Sslasl was feeling very inadequate.
Tul laughed.
You would not believe how clumsy I felt on initial testing day. I came in pretty full of myself having fought in the semi-pro circuit. Master Nev put me in against a small girl, and she took me apart easily. My ego still smarts when I see her. Fortunately, she has moved on and is a Jin Master apprenticed to one of the masters on Sharing Six. We usually run into her when Master Masl takes us back there for some meeting or other, and I have no doubt I will have the great misfortune of having her help with my testing someday.
Sslasl had to laugh in spite of himself when he saw the
