The Crystal Shard (37 page)
"The four of us, then!" proclaimed Wulfgar. "One to represent each of the four common races: Bruenor for the dwarves, Regis for the halflings, Drizzt Do'Urden for the elves, and myself for the humans. A fitting troupe!"
"I hardly think the elves would choose a drow to represent them," Drizzt remarked.
Bruenor snorted. "Ye think the halflings'd choose Rumblebelly for their champion?"
"You're crazy, dwarf," retorted Regis.
Bruenor dropped his shield to the ground, leaped around Wulfgar, and squared off before Regis. His face contorted in mock rage as he grasped Regis by the shoulders and hoisted him into the air.
"That's right, Rumblebelly!" Bruenor cried wildly. "Crazy I am! An' never cross one what's crazier than yerself!"
Drizzt and Wulfgar looked at each other with knowing smiles.
It was indeed going to be an interesting adventure.
And with the rising sun at their back, their shadows standing long before them, they started off on their way.
To find Mithril Hall.
THE AUTHOR
Born in Massachusetts in 1959, Bob Salvatore lives there still with his wife, Diane, and their three children. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a Christman gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism and was awarded a bachelor of science degree in Communications/Media from Fitchburg State College in 1981. He has continued his studies part-time since and is nearing completion of his bachelor of arts degree in English.
During the day, he works as a financial specialist for a manufacturer of automatic test equipment. He spends his evenings at his word processor, after the kids are tucked away in bed. The Crystal Shard is his first published novel.
