Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIknhaKtO7K
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUwWLVf7Ar
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP1FLmTgo3
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8Zg9mc6K
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF40xinuoA
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WSSxzSifM
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTM7popbCL
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEAIlRca1Y
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5mye4XQ89
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3zvXhArL9
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfjNJWu8zj
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Hunh1phS
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsca1XbxSwA
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMTmXrX1GN
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSRNIid1EX
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LfmX9DBa9
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHa1nnq8Ax
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutGRLRf34w
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUiNpSxLHd
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaHmRW7gPl
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv3Kwp4JOF
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqPcSzVCyi
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdKPGSGFV8
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHwPpYseTl
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcy9LL1B8w
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLpFhpddD2
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljARew8Q6C
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HNGmki0NC
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR1jBuhcfk
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm20AFGd5K
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtt46prFvd
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvlWj5gGa4
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EVql7Xwvb
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj5LgAfg90
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xh0zUkG6b
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBafE462J1C
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnolJVZj4Xn
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPC5brFNL2
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTfQUJ4l7J
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t489uvLaM
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzhIQzFDP1
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHezv99pmm
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuYcHy0aF8
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgKWVpTvZs
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4y0MfEplc
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3idEcpmHk
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9XbBYdu83
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUk8DCo5uh
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh9XFwAtwx
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hrRYAyfEc
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTBNBIysuH
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmATxatTmL
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JFJ8ceLXV
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R848ruNBS
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjh5wO7Pey
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXkE1XLcS
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMToctRZLt
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1bZxvOTiP
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfdTCPeGHW
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwytxxuvhL
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqXhIhNUKa
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDE0QV4Hwj
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJjIJMqzwE
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPfN3A5LR9
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM94RPJIkq
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmVShDeL2w
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnb0eVz62x
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKlQUJk1EV
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr8r8RGiJa
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdC7FFMXWp
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9ERtJiaf
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf5PvdEpev
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qhz5kQlJ4
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme9FJx3fo2
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel6U3vRXgj
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgo5eRkE6J
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkPJaPNmqW
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RhTLMRjMp
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO6EhzK5Jo
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoZ6IV2NBV
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUBNtttERY
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRFkzHKP6S
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLW9rcq7SP
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBNt6seTRM
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2USgJEug04
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYAsvhtZAK
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHakgkx3GDr
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsKuBLot8y
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhCBUg2C6I
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg0Z4XZWCD
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXaAaiHw69
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBn1wXTtFp
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHMiJI7wRA
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBKzGyzypo
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZJm7cHeNO
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTdM9Du9Ir
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcMwSL3GYe
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU707baYe3r
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ex77qbgY
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bzfix9zmT
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbRcPfFQtt
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4zdTyjWiH
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXoG3TGZW5
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPInTGyqip
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnffJhfLmU
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hYI0hCqux
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGjLbWI55e
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeH2GLy5mU
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoiDpW2TU9
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR9JJ23eZi
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRQFpAKQPo
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjbkMhr35g
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiO0srdMp
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjAIA4WLH6
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkT5RHlCJL
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckKoJzvFa
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5M9W52Fdy
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuBecHC1Lx
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfMcTXm6AU
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP5YSHFLp8
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRwb2WKv8R
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh5ArtOri0
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwrjENoXyw
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduybsELUQV
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRqeCnmsa3
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9GU7fJmOT
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAs2yRN8Co
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo7w4RaNUP
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGYzCKnHLv
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlyGXkcXnY
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdreefCzJG8
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2WZ8m9HPR
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CKTmlEvpu
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaardY71pP
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJfrV6YgLM
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyPoQ6a7Ix
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2T6H9yuck
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjOObh88fw
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1f1GZvLVO
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDqS0GIwAU
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9M5TEBQ7L
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YMAYcQ4uM
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vSjYeLly1
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6iwliWDTJ
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqH6c5o4pe
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWVJA8KpRe
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPQ7Fgw5Uy
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNPqd4jBlt
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ618OtSfRFE
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegScR9zFgY
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTeBTsXHVB
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVAS9NcxKS
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchmGuJAoqp
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsz1bHDvMK
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0RHXAIT5n
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWokhe9btY
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT8z8ZzBFO
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JOVWEOIBT
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfBWVqDNuW
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpajr7LN1VI
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttR4PXpYkb
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXopkdlEhJZ
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUstb6HAEb
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ZScbXEv4
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWQAdUcA9
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWQJYh5AZV
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmKKgPHjTj
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskdFZEQh8n
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2aBXZA7Yu
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx5ITbPT59
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Vx5Ah4lN
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA34jsGw80
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7tkfC4Ory
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXozpqqvej2
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8dESBgfmt
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdALlknCr4
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7TuIg7M19
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaXUrwA2Ej
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBMtRiJcxE
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYKpp6iNAA
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xGQxNxapR
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfikavt0GTJ
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wrT2UPpr1
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6qxNNRZLI
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSlY8OAjsx
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9YcXS0DSe
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnLaXZLOLV
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZLMdTVt4Z
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVpvfaxsnA
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLILfXvNyGE
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDiOTo0zf8
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HbajYIw4S
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdolrJBjBNn
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q5PCxVv0A
where he promptly passed out.
