What is "derk"

Usage examples of "derk".

Summary: Derk, an unconventional wizard, and his magical family become involved in a plan to put a stop to the devastating tours of their world arranged by the tyrannical Mr.

No one but Wizard Derk can make a convincing human corpse out of a dead donkey.

Shona was by the stables, saddling two of the horses so that Derk could take her to Bardic College as soon as he got home from the Oracle, when Elda came galloping up with her wings spread, rowing herself along for extra speed, screaming that Derk was going to be Dark Lord.

Though he was not much given to wizardly displays, Derk was feeling so strongly that he was venting magefire in all directions.

Elda did her bit by following Derk, too, looking sweet and golden and cuddly.

Shona decided that they needed marble stairs, too, leading into the hall, and sat on the ordinary wooden stairs making drawings of sculptured banisters and sketches of the sort of clothes Derk should wear.

Mara said, while behind Derk, Kit and Shona hastily pretended to be having a friendly discussion.

While he worked on the garden in the dark, it had come to Derk that the only way to go through with this was to promise himself that as soon as it was over, he would start work at once on a completely new kind of animal.

But Derk kept his eye on her, and on Mara, and saw Querida was truly pleased.

From where Derk was, he could have sworn Kit was as tall as the house.

Querida watched Derk nervously fumbling for sugar and wondered what all the dogs were barking about in the distance.

Before Querida could turn to see what was going on, or Derk could move, a confused crowd of excited animals swept around the corner of the paddock and galloped straight through the spot where Querida was standing.

Querida thought, trying not to scream with the pain, but she still did not trust Derk an inch.

As Derk climbed carefully through a chaos of fallen beams and bricks, he heard her start barking in short, triumphant bursts.

He made further long, crooning moans while Derk played the hose over him outside it, but that seemed to be because he had started to feel his bruises.
