Chapter 37
No one came to see him for the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TY58IECmS
first day. Aside from some lukewarm water and moldy bread, he hadn’t had87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ4JowhYa4
anything to eat either. He spent his time curled in the corner allowing his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDpkDd5lAy
negative thoughts to control his mind. He thought about his failure at protecting87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl8AOcbwyg
Malcolm that brought him to this place, forcing him on the run because he87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIydvEiY0b
hadn’t been prepared. If they had taken a little more time to think about it,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjRszBXs9O
they should have been aware that there could have been another traitor amongst87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsHpfQc7Db
them. Cranton, the one who vetted all the servants, the closest to the king,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqg5KjoHt2
and able to move unseen. There were clues, but they all ignored them.
Now his best friend, the one who87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFjxx8X4Cg
risked everything for him, might be in jail as well, or in trouble at the very87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EL51tPieG
least. He betrayed his vow all for the sake of friendship. At the very least he87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIxu9iqjv6
could be removed from the Blades. At least he had someone to fall back on, if87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUqIhNabq3
this went south, Vander had no one. He didn’t even know where his grandfather87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPoeAF83b2
had gone and with no way to reach him, he had no one. The despair was too87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE4n6v20MG
great, so he buried himself inside his own mind hoping that things would get87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuT3YcUVqN
better.
The demon scraped against his mind87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt7gZl1A1r
begging to be released. He would make all those who hurt them suffer87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Trx3mkdl
unimaginable pain. He could start by removing their skin piece by piece until87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOjxTHYRs0
they passed out from the pain. Then he would carve out their organs with his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVqAcRDpqt
bare hands, not stopping even after the body died. Then they would be tossed to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVqQVwnSWI
the forest for the animals to have their fill. He begged, pleaded and87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFWB1ksF5v
threatened, but if there was hope, Vander would not give in. No matter how much87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh3QJJ9XhR
he wanted to.
He wasn’t sure how long it had87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim0lxcgaRr
been, but eventually he heard the door open. Based on the sounds their feet87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpLVP5GdMq
made, there were four people coming down to see him. None of them, except one,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdtuYR1yEA
was wearing armor. He recognized her scent clearly compared to the others.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAAOVevtmz
According to the book, and her, the two of them were bonded. Despite knowing87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhkhwpFMIj
nothing about her, he didn’t want her to see him like this so he hid closer to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJlTH6te9P
the shadows hoping it would be enough. It wasn’t.
“Come out, Vander.” Her voice was87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkCvqxEitm
soft, full of warmth. He felt the presence of Atza beckoning him, pushing the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAD1OcE7gu
demon further into the recesses of his mind. He looked over to see her kind87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs5Ng4XUCH
expression staring at him without hate or malice. In the face she looked87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoB9UbfP5k
worried. Her eyes were sunken in. Her normally glossy hair hung loose around87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmz8xxrQSK
her face. In the three months he had been missing, she lost quite a bit of87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QkFkLBLeG
weight.
The others she was with didn’t87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cVuo8FLeD
really surprise him except Whitesun was there. He had no idea why the southern87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlgAJXBgRD
warden was there to see him, but he couldn’t think of any good reasons. Maybe87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IXuTSEs7A
the council had finally made their judgement.
“Have you decided what you were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUFasVS0Tn
going to do with me?” Vander asked. He looked over at Cuvera who met his stare87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0AnlnVltE
with his own.
“The council is split.” Cuvera87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79iGZ8CcgC
explained. “There are many who don’t believe you capable of killing my father,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0is4ZAw1Nv
but they also don’t believe that Peyton would have been capable either. Then87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqgenPvsNv
there are those who think you did do it, and nothing would convince them87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3EJ4Mfzao
otherwise.”
“Not once did we doubt you,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxreGG4EiuK
Vander.” Kiara’s voice was kind. “We were hurt that you felt you couldn’t stay87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAC8Uhf7Q8
and plead your case, but based on the considerable resources that were spent to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS5vHf66kU
track you down, as well as the venomous rhetoric that was spread against you,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiHtH5qrsO
it ended up being for the best. You wouldn’t be safe here, not with the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdej0nbRe1
influence many of the nobles have in the city.”
“Then why am I still locked up?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR6y48Fo6U
he asked. “If you believe me, why keep me here?”
“Because we can’t release you87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsJmUjpvWu
without proof that Peyton killed my father.” Cuvera explained. “As it stands87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUysb6oZaI
it’s your word against his and he has more sway amongst the nobles. I know87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSt9SeR0VC
you’re innocent, but they know that I would protect you because we are practically87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWhhOZQvia
brothers.”
“How do you know I’m innocent?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieZrX5NdNC
Vander countered. “I could be the monster they think I am.”
“Vander!” Eliza gasped. “Don’t say87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjAmc12urt
things like that.”
“I know because I saw what87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcjpZoqacb
happened.” Cuvera sighed. “A week after my father died, the ceremony to take87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobA82dxm74
the shard of Humjir into me was performed. I saw everything leading up to his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAHEy7jNrb
final moments, including him telling you to run with his dying breath. I’ve87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC2NM5LHX3
known him for months, but Peyton has the power now that my father’s gone. I87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1TlnbqImJ
can’t do a thing.”
“However, I do.” Whitesun spoke87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aed4Sssp
softly. “Even though I am the farthest of all the Warden’s from the city,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYJpLdXGpF
Malcolm and I were good friends. I believe you Vander. I think you are a kind87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zUjhHURtp
soul despite the stigma surrounding you, I can help you.”
“How?” Vander stared at the man, a87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSkmQpf8EC
stranger. He couldn’t quite believe someone would be willing to help him just87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx9ZOOGsuT
for no reason. There had to be another motive, but he would be damned if he87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xbhDgQC0y
could think of one.
“You let me worry about that.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwpdHKKFnH
Whitesun held out his hand through the bars. Vander studied it for a moment87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSRelNozFk
before accepting it. The two of them held hands for a few minutes past what87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwky8NqkFvD
Vander was comfortable with, but before he could say anything, Whitesun let his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgRe3uzBd7
hand go. “I wanted to see what kind of person you were, Captain.”
“What have you discovered,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDBwBKP3uR
Warden?” Vander bit back.
“You are a principled man devoted87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X4evaIYpc
to your goal of protecting those you love.” Whitesun smiled. “There is no way87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobwxFWaDej
you would have killed your surrogate father, no matter what may have happened87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlLKoBCFLc
between the two of you.”
“You gained all that from shaking87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zKVfVekJq
my hand?” Vander shook his head. “Excuse me if I don’t believe you.”
“No,” Whitesun laughed. “I got87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09QFqd0ecj
that from talking to your friends. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some damage87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72v7UylHh5
control to do.” With that he excused himself by heading back up the stairs.
“If anyone can help you, it’s87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXwSCWEmuu
Malakai.” Cuvera smiled. “You protected us from the Serpents, now allow us to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fyh9quDHK
help you.”
“Thank you.” Vander embraced his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qc4tb6SuQ
friend, though it wasn’t complete due to the bar standing between the two of87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrXdXCQ3lA
them. “After this is done, I will devote my sword to you and you are alone.”
“To us, Vander.” Cuvera wrapped a87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTk7XHYiKL
possessive arm around his wife. “And our child who we are going to name for my87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AGdnDoOGY
father and your grandfather: Malcolm Charles Elan.”
“Or Mary Charlie Elan.” Kiara87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQWEGQyVR1
interrupted. “If it’s a girl.”
“Either way, we want you to be its87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusU7GnAnRu
guard parent if anything were to happen to us.” Cuvera smiled. “Both you and87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma4rjqLnRl
Eliza, even though she already agreed.” Vander was touched, but he knew that87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTbbYQGR9u
there was still a lot of work to be done before that would become a reality.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGJgM8Wio4
Starting with him being released.
“Provided I am released, I will.”
“Excellent.” Cuvera grinned, but87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4LoPx200l
after a moment, he became a little more serious. “I need you tell me everything87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXzN9QuJHw
you can about this assassin who killed Humi. If someone this dangerous is in my87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnAYwLG2Ou
city, I need to know everything I can about them.”
“I didn’t know about them until my87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0JXj8auBa
attack on the Green Serpent base.” Vander explained. “I found a handwritten87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeInA80G24
note that said that someone known as Fang was coming after me. I assumed they87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1K7Gum7hW
didn’t know where I was because I didn’t end up with a knife in my side while I87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsnbkSwdgI
slept. They must have picked me up somewhere then waited until I was distracted87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVSQPgBKFo
before coming after me. If it hadn’t been for Humi there was a chance, I would87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuEyP2Ubkp
be killed.”
“Any idea who they were?” Vander87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7j0rkYNJz
shook his head.
“None, they wore both a mask and a87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYUUzGaGvT
hood.” He explained. “However, they infiltrated a space that was protected by87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYk33wk4z2
Humjir’s ability. Which,” he glared at Cuvera. “How is that possible? I thought87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZ6F6YtK2
only Malcolm, and now you, could use those powers?”
“It’s complicated, I don’t truly87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DXJOWT3zb
understand it myself.” Kiara placed her hand on Cuvera’s shoulder then87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP6ixlyncH
whispered in his ear. “I’m sorry, but Kiara is tired. We must go but worry not.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDpwqtTbb
We will get you out of this.”
“Are you going to stay?” He looked87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c6lG8UrjT
at Eliza. He didn’t know why, but he really didn’t want her to leave.
“Of course.” She grinned, holding87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYz2mBw4zQ
up the cell keys. “I can’t let you out, but I can go in.” she placed the key87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaoolNpE4O
inside the lock and turned it. The door popped open, so she allowed herself87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK7rKH7Tca
inside.
“I’ll come to let you out in the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3JqkmG699
morning.” Cuvera held his hand out for the keys, which she returned. “Enjoy87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIq9uCCfHr
yourself.” With that, Cuvera and Kiara left the room leaving the two of them87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlirnIjTNWP
together. For the first time in a long time, Vander felt tongue tied. He didn’t87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoiDNaoErZ
know what to do.
“Sit down.” Eliza sighed. “You87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx77wng04m
look like you’re about to fall over.” She sat down against the wall then patted87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRuBYBsVG
the open spot next to her. Not sure what he should do, he sat down next to her,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbaEwRmq5N
but made sure none of his body touched her. “Am I that repulsive that you won’t87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLzUTynJev
even touch me?” she sounded hurt.
“I’m sorry.” He spoke. “I’m just87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1SGxSeSWb
scared. For some reason I get nervous around you, like I don’t want to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPee4JdUv2
disappoint you. I’ve had plenty of partners, but this seems foreign to me.”
“I guess that’s to be expected.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlbrvbV3NC
Eliza smiled. “I’ve known about you ever since I was young, so I’ve been87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQdqhz1rNf
preparing for my entire life. But you just found out a couple of months ago and87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUx5SeMAyb
we never got to spend any sort of time together. So, for now, how about we just87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtQfKZuqEE
get to know each other and let this occur naturally?”
“You’d be okay with that?”
“Of course.” She spoke. “You can87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FMagSG3a0
be completely honest with me; I won’t judge you Vander.” He hesitated, but he87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZKgm1R9Sy
didn’t feel any treachery in her words. It was time he became honest with87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAyTLLVsxo
someone other than Shea. It was time for him to be vulnerable.
“Are you sure you can handle it?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgvDNdQ7Qj
he smiled. “You’d be my first actual relationship since getting dumped by87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77LbHiXhmI
someone I wanted to marry. She left me for prestige and for someone I hate.”

“But if you asked me too, I’d punch her in the face for you.” He laughed and it87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NK4ec7wlz
was the first real laugh he had had since his best friend’s wedding. Perhaps,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIZgfsVnSs
just for tonight, everything would be alright.
