Lord Kurn
Chapter 15 Lord Kurn
Within the week, Victor’s leg was pronounced healed, they struck the camp, and moved onward. The going was as smooth and fast as could reasonably be expected with a troop of men through forested foothills. As they went, Mikail thought Sylvia was growing more restless, but then again, he thought that he could be imagining things. When he asked Ian he was told that there was something out of the ordinary, but Ian couldn’t figu

"No one would ask you for charity, Lady, your price will be assured by the lord’s own son. Should you need to speak to him, you would only need to wait at the tree by the river at noon for him to take his daily ride." She looked at the man who seemed to be aging before his time and worn with worry and fear. She placed the money for her drink that she had finished and the meal that had yet to arrive on the table."I have ordered a plate that I must abandon due to a change in my schedule. See to it that my order is paid for and not wasted and I will talk to the son of your lord," she told him as she rose from the table, "You shall not know me again." He nodded consent as she left. He understood that she had paid for a meal she had no intention of eating herself and that he was to see to it that someone else did eat it. Although he did not understand why she would choose to do something like that he did not dare ask and

"This is not for us to eat, Ian, but I will make sure that we get some later," she replied. "Help me move the cage. Don’t worry," she saw the look on his face, "he won’t wake until I tell him to." She held up a dart and Ian smiled. They hauled the cage for a long distance until they were close to the private riding area of Lord Kurn. Sylvia put the squirrel in a bush next to the trail and covered a rag in its blood. "Wait here, Ian, I’ll be back in a little while."She took off and he lost sight of her.Great! More waiting. Just what I wanted.He said to himself. He plopped himself down next to the cage.Sylvia saddled the horse and spread the blood on the horse’s breast. Lord Kurn came into the barn to prepare his horse for his daily ride. "Who are you and why have you saddled my horse?" he demanded."My Lord," she said u
Master, Apprentice Departure
Chapter 16 DepartureIan walked up to Mikail and asked what he had said to Sylvia. Mikail told Ian that Sylvia had bedded Lowell. Ian’s jaw dropped. Mikail’s face did not mask the pain he felt."Mikail, go to her. Apologize for what you said. You know she only did that because you turned her down. Ask her not to do it again." Ian urged him."She made it very clear that I have no right to tell her what to do with

Ian dropped the letter as he turned and punched a tree. It hurt him more than it did the tree, but thanks to the gloves he had not taken off, the skin on his hand remained intact. Mikail had been watching Ian and thinking that he had a letter from Mora so he had given him privacy. When he saw Ian hit the tree, he could not imagine what Mora could possibly have said to make Ian act that out of character and ran to his aid."Ian what is wrong?" he asked urgently. Ian picked up the letter, handed it to Mikail, and rubbed the hand he had used to attack the tree. He looked up at Ian in confusion."Youidiot!" Ian began, "if it hadn’t been for your pride being wounded she would have told you when she was leaving and you would have had
Master, Apprentice Mikail's Meeting
Chapter 17 Mikail’s MeetingSylvia was thinking of Mikail, too, as she silently crept through the secret passages of the old castle where The Five resided. They always took the noon meal together in private if they were present, so she did not have much time left to get to the room. The door, the only door anyone knew about, would be locked and barred from the inside so they could plot without being overheard.Whoever had created this passage was clever. They had hid the opening behind a por

Summer quickly gave way to autumn and autumn turned to winter without them losing their resolve. As news of The Five’s death spread, so did the rumors about the assassin who killed them and the enemy troops who surrendered without so much as being hunted. They would often walk into Tane’s camps with their arms above theirs heads and weapons tightly secured. Mikail found himself often waking in the night with her name on his lips and within a day or so, a note would be found from her telling him one way or another to leave her alone.Retribution consistently walked through their traps as though it were child’s play and sightings of her danced around their camps. She rubbed their noses in the fact they had not caught her by carrying Victor’s blade as well as Veritás lately.At length, Mikail and Ian came up with another plan. The
Master, Apprentice Mikail's Meeting Part 3
"Captain?" she questioned."I am here on business, Arden, and you must not breathe a word of it even in your sleep," he said quietly. She nodded. "For your co-operation, I will return to you your freedom from this hell if you will make me one other promise.""What would you have of me?" the look on her face was almost hopeful."You must promise that you will never again sell yourself into such slavery. Find a job as a cook, marry for love, and raise children whom you will devote your life to.""I promise I will never again sell my body in such a manner," she replied to him breathlessly. Her bosom almost did jump from between her laces before he pulled them back together. It startled her, but only for a split second. Then she startled him by hugging him. She stepped

Chapter 18 Arden’s WeddingAlmost every soldier in the inn went running at top speed to the rooms of the innkeeper and his family. The innkeeper was the first to arrive at his daughter’s side and was busy holding her and trying to explain what had happened when Mikail and Ian arrived and went to Arden’s side. Upon the captain’s arrival, Arden seemed to decide that last night’s events had indeed not been a dream and she calmed down and listened to Ian a
