Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZKiO4Lae
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zqFvu4Bw6
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDuEIwzazk
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIC7Vs2rG0
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDErUD74pf
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBHA6VjfxD
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlkiufpjF
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4GzcV7psz
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls0hrqDnwM
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNG74UlgcT
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXtwXn6Uts
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2E0Nvk8J
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMvRIpZeOS
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnQBLL7tdn
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcNzxL8vs
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOBl2TilFP
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WobCxobi1
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW33hvDCNm
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnizdE8ReH
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhxfW92dwL
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvmMT4HNjU
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSchPjcOrgo
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4jOS3xY94
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZ76mNOmn
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUNUv9gE4W
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfH4EEXoGS
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgDGnh8ZNI
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Km8f3MM5J
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnFwsEZxHc
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS6bsRlIxl
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGxdONeqkq
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaHpTZu5t5
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHTH14YnUy
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXYVbOjtWv
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNF0ioZxqY
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8T95vBhZK
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8uWUDNa1S
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCeS2Yo4D0
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUCWK5f2Nh
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkPkntPes0
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYqm8kvSiG
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruvLGqu8Dv
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97w0pga0aA
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4KMCwFh2c
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y87QaFVjn
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsGT28xtNg
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEl1z6SGtL
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPTBxHE2K8
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXE3OX9SQB
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBAAHmFNzt
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqnU0ZUqPP
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy6usWK0WK
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC4n7JWVRE
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aNzUpaybK
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1xru9gwsg
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAunS2ntITQ
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbxa77PwN8
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQSVP9USZv
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycRI5GwnTG
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKvSLelGEZ
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovu41S6xdT
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw3bu7bEc2
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0letbqH8JU
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznO6N46EPs
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvOOcilR5K
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN90OLjvjls
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmeaoET661
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWjwN2cTpl
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsgprUkrUW
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhyYEyZdWf
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXqRnIxfkS
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM9pttIKcx
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvqJPDVI89
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpnrSC6di0
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn2qcTjvDg
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbOOBsKHz
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YZKoSweFe
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dZisBzcgd
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm5riNK60C
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutwPvCN9la
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztnhUF4z0X
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT9u9Fk0Q0
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq0URKpODn
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp3XAR6LvG
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqATdGlv1
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oOJOGZqKO
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUX39pDbAv
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyzq4aYECW
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uXzqYC1Mp
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjU9ThtZ73
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3zBKk9qdy
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMUYMcQVYG
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkuIt3ig21
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrqwcAPpE8
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyczb3ksV9n
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI5Ms9GnFV
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbxzE7B4Oe
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9goV04mC2k
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXnmnUZTuO
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJmBmlEyll
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEWVEIQvj1
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JUiNijoxM
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15mzf1zZjC
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvpvibJFWA
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVKKfL17f
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitYT3BGE77
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi3Ysw0os2
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUnX0CIprZ
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2zHedtycm
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IalH7cIVY
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5CosKFDkB
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fsp4XiAzC
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjSQLP3Mlm
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDWefYHLnK
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmLKbKSCN3
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2OkEaFyhX
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNPxNqvFfa
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjznPPekZE
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3IlTWUlHu
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHCss7jxa4
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx3WLGDx07
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWqdasyBUv
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXCBLp5iO0
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB4N20Bv4B
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdSA0PXTUM
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc1chqo89k
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfQIbbDaUR
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhMac8pnYe
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVttd05qEV
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9TNMW2gj8
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vvSWF4iBt
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tGy1Q2G0o
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqWoXj4L5B
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kZqRitr2f
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mizmm8dAX
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHxK9bRVMO
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUAaWmNFWd
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnxrF7rRs6
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUTdsP9D2E
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3sWsoDsyH
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqtk1zksqe
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNjUzbFUql
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS8avPc0D2
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbKWwY3tQ
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkSmochaYn
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnCxpN2woI
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDfpn5mutq
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXI9xXymXX
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PQIlrwwe5
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBPOfMjw8B
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQdCQ9tvC9
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCZfoonKW5
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOKumCv4FZ
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYzGPfMANz
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswLCzY5yuv
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKZVF30VJC
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvMHnYMJr8
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyP3bKiBPJ
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoFXyPc7M8
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtcaCeCic3
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyQb0P6Svs
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CblNozEfk
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3coAjMGaK
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQY3iKCqKS
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM8tHFPYrK
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwjyXWvpf9
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmt2W5wyjI
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhPXwKwAMU
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONa4DSgbqz
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym3Ni1zKwR
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusYpygdnGF
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgOJM9eNLq
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq4koclg6f
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3Srr0ask
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0XhLcoXcW
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkibFbbbqoO
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp1BzQaseu
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrB2j9czg
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV91gsguFW
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTwW9YxNci
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ridJh6mU
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCFLyxc6gD
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN1Qko7Ubi
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb6zkWBtCa
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaaatGrAsU
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqQWxYvZdH
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWlLlAQNiJ
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYBwl5A8Df
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2HMSV2WwU
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGreGbcIzrv
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCNeP9pPcj
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREVjeM8Wbd
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIDBTCFAmw
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhel2HdJLiO
where he promptly passed out.
