A short story in the Dual Magics series. Changing his apprenticeship from the Smiths' Guild to the Merchants' gives Arcas a second chance. Not just for a career that suits him far better, but also to prove himself worthy of the lovely Elaria. But to accomplish that, he must leave his seaside city—and Elaria—for a year. In that time, he travels among the barbarians, hoping to find something to trade for that will be worth the hardships and dangers. Something like gold.
