Chapter 35
Vander wasn’t surprised to see the70Please respect copyright.PENANAoKOPzzhAIJ
Serpents here tonight. Like Alex, they had probably followed him once he was70Please respect copyright.PENANAgxGn0H3EgU
spotted going back to the safe house they had used. He would be lying if he70Please respect copyright.PENANAzH74SZfCxD
hadn’t said it was part of his plan, but he didn’t expect the ambush to happen70Please respect copyright.PENANACQklOTQRsx
down here. He was unprepared and without a weapon, the closest one was several70Please respect copyright.PENANAEd0UxOQS8W
feet away so he doubted that they would give him time to grab it. However, if70Please respect copyright.PENANAXQvDtm1rD6
he did nothing he would die so, he moved.
He rushed towards the sword his70Please respect copyright.PENANAl7rA2mnutG
previous opponent had used. A serpent stepped into his path swinging a sword70Please respect copyright.PENANA61cUpq6ASM
aimed to take off his head. Vander grabbed some loose rocks from the ground70Please respect copyright.PENANAhYZ7zgmPRH
then threw it at the person. One of the rocks hit the sword causing it to go70Please respect copyright.PENANAC6yMTpT75d
slightly off while the other wacked the serpent standing behind him. The mask70Please respect copyright.PENANA0R7VjU8MuH
absorbed the blow because the serpent didn’t even flinch.
Despite the quick thinking, he70Please respect copyright.PENANAayW97XUNOM
couldn’t block the sword from cutting him, but instead of taking off his head70Please respect copyright.PENANAGhl7U9cIFa
it only cut his shoulder. Biting back the pain as the blood started to flow, he70Please respect copyright.PENANAt9sgHoNs33
tackled the serpent around the waist knocking them both to the ground. Before70Please respect copyright.PENANAX1L9ZiF6xW
he could do anything, however, the third rushed forward trying to cut his neck.70Please respect copyright.PENANAuy6aahPyBr
Vander bent backwards to avoid the blow, but in the process was knocked off of70Please respect copyright.PENANAY1UU6XjLjR
the Serpent.
Unlike the others he had fought,70Please respect copyright.PENANAICd70N1Pe6
these two seemed to do well as a team. When one went down, the others were70Please respect copyright.PENANAadf73AHI9g
always there to cover them. It was slowly becoming a pain and he couldn’t rely70Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Issqtops
on help from anyone else since they were all busy trying to escape before they70Please respect copyright.PENANA40Wnsm9YQg
were killed as well. He could hear Alex calling for him, but he was nowhere to70Please respect copyright.PENANAWP2eGexpFO
be seen. Vander was on his own. Or was he?
He closed his eyes then reached70Please respect copyright.PENANAyZEguRM7PE
deep into himself. He could hear his inner demon laughing at him, taunting him70Please respect copyright.PENANAMDowxyXqHN
for even needing his help despite constantly shoving him away. Vander argued70Please respect copyright.PENANALdsLT6KuM8
with him saying that if he died, then they would both die and he wouldn’t get70Please respect copyright.PENANAcGax3JahPP
what he wanted: his freedom. The demon was quiet for a moment, but Vander could70Please respect copyright.PENANAX8x3OKjEcu
feel that once given freedom it would be trouble trying to get it back, but he70Please respect copyright.PENANA7YIm0MyEA1
was out of options. They needed each other to survive.
Power flooded through his body as70Please respect copyright.PENANAhfEqUQaFeW
he felt the demon’s consciousness flow to the forefront. However, it didn’t70Please respect copyright.PENANA3mQ4EB1k3c
feel as bad as he thought it would. All of his senses were heightened, he could70Please respect copyright.PENANAUo3mN2wxI2
feel everything around him. His body was also overflowing with power, and he70Please respect copyright.PENANA5BJoGpWU0n
knew that he could take the Serpents, even without a weapon. It was time for70Please respect copyright.PENANATO9B0ckcIa
the demon to show that he was more than just talk.
The demon lunged forward grabbing70Please respect copyright.PENANA6BIcrYQLgg
one of the Serpents by the neck before the others could react. The two of them70Please respect copyright.PENANAwB50d7pQYP
vaulted forward slamming into the backwall. He felt the man’s bones crack under70Please respect copyright.PENANAVTR56UKnbu
the blow, but the demon tore the serpent’s throat out with elongated claws. He70Please respect copyright.PENANAioguo9VJOc
fell to his knees gurgling blood but one kick from Vander’s leg put them out of70Please respect copyright.PENANAyOFivQTzmq
their misery. Vander’s body turned to see the other two rushing towards him70Please respect copyright.PENANAymmm9JQ3mu
with swords swinging towards him. He brought his hands up to block the strike70Please respect copyright.PENANAUcX0XdFdod
and he thought the swords would just cut right through, but they didn’t. Thick70Please respect copyright.PENANAET5BzjtEIo
armor plates sprouted on his arms to protect him.
The serpents must not have70Please respect copyright.PENANAgS0eZYLlkq
expected it either because for a brief second, they paused and that was enough70Please respect copyright.PENANA4zewGPMdz6
for the demon to go on the offensive. He reached across, grabbed both swords,70Please respect copyright.PENANAzOyslxP0hl
then shattered them with his bare hands. As shards of metal rained down around70Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4TDIXC3hd
them, the demon took the few that were in his hands then shoved them into one serpent’s70Please respect copyright.PENANAYbgV0Bnfmn
face causing them to cry out and drop to their knees. The other serpents70Please respect copyright.PENANAlPBPGUCehm
grabbed his friend then jumped away from Vander.
The demon grinned, Vander could70Please respect copyright.PENANAyVMFrpkAcf
feel his joy through their bond. He could have killed the last two without70Please respect copyright.PENANAOM43g8hUDq
breaking a sweat, but he enjoyed making them suffer. He was a predator just70Please respect copyright.PENANARGj110qZOc
toying with his food believing that their fear and despair would make the meat70Please respect copyright.PENANAf0yqSl0BWU
taste all the sweeter. The two of them walked towards the wounded Serpent.70Please respect copyright.PENANAahuphrVdR9
Vander could feel them tense, but they looked at one another and got to their70Please respect copyright.PENANAyOyjh7MS0T
feet. Vander had the vaguest thought that they were biding their time. Normally70Please respect copyright.PENANAwPrvTrPsxd
they would have run away, living to fight another day, but here they were70Please respect copyright.PENANAsPW86hCKQ6
making a stand. Something was wrong. Vander tried to tell the demon, but he70Please respect copyright.PENANAjNRcz2tHTX
didn’t want to listen. If anything, it amped him up even more.
He ran forward, his fingers70Please respect copyright.PENANA0kCJEbs4cA
becoming talons once again. The uninjured Serpent dodged to the side while the70Please respect copyright.PENANAH9N4vNm3Gp
other got to his feet. The demon shoved his talons into the serpent’s chest70Please respect copyright.PENANAOW7wLnEjaW
causing them to stick out the back. Vander could feel the blood sticking to his70Please respect copyright.PENANAKz5ZRTjuBj
fingers as it dripped into the sands. However, the biggest surprise was that70Please respect copyright.PENANA4kQy91nZXv
the Serpent wasn’t dead yet. Grinning as blood poured from his mouth, the70Please respect copyright.PENANAPk7Vu6KImt
Serpent grabbed them in a backbreaking hug. Vander could see the triumph70Please respect copyright.PENANANBqfAj9Ted
shining in the man’s eyes as he heard a cry coming from behind him.
Vander felt nothing but pain as a70Please respect copyright.PENANAGnmGWbi7xY
sword was shoved through his back and into the serpent he was in front of. The70Please respect copyright.PENANAhoVmRcGzdo
Serpent died with a smile on his face while both Vander and the demon screamed70Please respect copyright.PENANA6jQGT3ZSg1
in pain. He couldn’t get the other serpent from himself to escape because both70Please respect copyright.PENANAk9bjNUoJVd
were stuck together. The demon reached for the other behind him, but he jumped70Please respect copyright.PENANAu5xIQkW7pf
out of the way. He snarled a challenge, but the serpent did the smart thing,70Please respect copyright.PENANA2mHZHQO5HZ
not rising to the bait. However, despite the dire circumstance, Vander still70Please respect copyright.PENANAKdG66A7vEq
felt no fear from the demon, just amusement. He found out why a moment later.
The demon grabbed the sword hilt70Please respect copyright.PENANA6DmOzQ2XcI
and slowly pulled it out of their back. The pain was intense, but as it70Please respect copyright.PENANA54k3w6zJzh
withdrew the pain gradually disappeared. Vander could feel the wound start to70Please respect copyright.PENANAsKSUX6VhHJ
heal as the sword disappeared. The other serpent fell to the ground, still70Please respect copyright.PENANAYlqUhhGuKy
smiling, as if not aware in death that his sacrifice had been in vain.
“You’re a monster.” The other70Please respect copyright.PENANAgVLYYMhNFx
serpent blanched as he stared at Vander’s body healing away the damage.
“You’re just learning that now?”70Please respect copyright.PENANARiYwNWgpjI
The demon’s voice was low and gravelly. However, it echoed through the arena.70Please respect copyright.PENANACWceIVs0t6
“I’ve been alive for centuries, praying on weak fools like you. I found against70Please respect copyright.PENANAqKoNnSvIRS
the gods and lived. These wounds are nothing compared to the torment I have70Please respect copyright.PENANAaWY5vE1OaO
felt since the dawn of my life. What makes you think you could do anything to70Please respect copyright.PENANAcDOrZV8v3w
me?” The demon walked over, grabbed the Serpent’s head and, with a smile,70Please respect copyright.PENANAyGBzpiPe7E
ripped his head clean off. The headless body spurted blood all over Vander as70Please respect copyright.PENANAVATDRFrSxn
the demon screamed in triumph clutching the severed head as his trophy.70Please respect copyright.PENANAZYOovFAuxr
“Delicious,” he sighed running his tongue over his bloodied face. “I forgot how70Please respect copyright.PENANAfVlxAISAxQ
good you human’s tasted.” If Vander had been in control of his body, he would70Please respect copyright.PENANApSWWNC73ij
have puked.
The two of them instinctively70Please respect copyright.PENANAnp3bFnv1vn
looked towards the stands as they had felt a terrifying presence enter their70Please respect copyright.PENANAx84MfH5fyU
space. It was someone Vander knew, and it felt familiar, almost like a long-lost70Please respect copyright.PENANAhnDWmj6ZH1
brother. He looked up see pale yellow eyes staring down at him from a hooded70Please respect copyright.PENANA3dPzrRbUc9
man wearing light green armor. Fear traveled through the demon as he stared at70Please respect copyright.PENANAYbDtH0YPL8
the assassin. One name flashed in his mind: Aubum. This was the assassin he had70Please respect copyright.PENANAbzRLADvgZ5
met when he had been with Malcolm: Draken.
Draken dropped to the ground70Please respect copyright.PENANAEQPUOjtTBv
barely kicking up any dirt as he landed. Vander froze as the assassin walked70Please respect copyright.PENANAEB4JP1qOtN
towards him. If he had worked for Malcolm, there was a chance he was coming for70Please respect copyright.PENANAGUKJx80hC5
revenge, but based on his demeanor Vander didn’t think that was right. Draken70Please respect copyright.PENANAjtDV8EHodj
stopped next to him then whispered something that caused Vander to freeze. The70Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6MvPD3Z7h
demon spat out a response but went back into Vander’s body. He was suddenly70Please respect copyright.PENANAQXN0vWMQiZ
locked back into control. They sudden shift caused him to stumble forwards. Draken70Please respect copyright.PENANA6BDatCk3Aq
took a step back then disappeared into thin air.
“The soldiers are here!” Vander70Please respect copyright.PENANA9U6xPkG7oM
looked up as one of Ross’s people started screaming. Moments later Vander heard70Please respect copyright.PENANADQWIbMgxX5
the door being kicked down.
“Vander!” Alexander shouted. He70Please respect copyright.PENANA28ljEhUgdi
looked up to his friend looking frantically for him. The door was launched off70Please respect copyright.PENANAXDnFuqd9By
its hinges as soldiers and Blades rushed into the room. Vander could hear them70Please respect copyright.PENANA2k4MMTon86
screaming for people to get on the floor. He looked towards Ross but saw that70Please respect copyright.PENANAmoecCOVBvQ
he was already gone. He looked around for some place to escape, but only saw70Please respect copyright.PENANAGZm6CtyCWt
the tunnel where his opponent had entered from. Seeing no other way, he headed70Please respect copyright.PENANA53NfjHfsJa
towards the dark.
The tunnel smells like dirt,70Please respect copyright.PENANAJGPzGYGFLm
sweat, and blood. This must have been where the injured were taken to either be70Please respect copyright.PENANApsd8X85BD1
disposed of if they were too far gone or patched up. There are separate rooms70Please respect copyright.PENANA7kVvoZPTqy
filled with weapons, a sparring room, and a room with several beds. It seemed70Please respect copyright.PENANAvYRYugLLKs
more like a gladiator arena from centuries past than a fighting ring, but then70Please respect copyright.PENANArHRIeQypin
again Ross had a flair for the dramatics.
There was no one down there, which70Please respect copyright.PENANA9gbnO7suil
was strange. Usually, it would be packed with people waiting for their turn to70Please respect copyright.PENANAizQS51taC5
fight, but it was a ghost town. It made him wonder if Ross knew that the70Please respect copyright.PENANAizflQzvW0q
military was coming for him, so he made sure that he was long gone before they70Please respect copyright.PENANAS0EiLZNNEB
arrived.
Vander walked70Please respect copyright.PENANAGRaH3kLKei
towards the room in the darkest corner where he knew Draken was waiting for70Please respect copyright.PENANAX6sraDroGi
him. He could smell the chill of death coming from inside. He was right where70Please respect copyright.PENANAOhUSlALySS
he said he would be.
“You can’t keep running forever.”70Please respect copyright.PENANA2dkbva4h4v
Draken stepped out from the shadows. “Eventually you will have to clear your70Please respect copyright.PENANABseWBksomW
name and fight against those who wish to harm this country.”
“When I don’t know who to trust,70Please respect copyright.PENANAAkAM0YaKdp
my life is constantly in jeopardy.” Vander sat down on a bench. “There are70Please respect copyright.PENANAnRAZ18q0Aj
those who would love nothing more to stab me in the back. What else can I do to70Please respect copyright.PENANA3DTK0JSQIQ
make sure I stay safe?”
“Learn to trust those around you.”70Please respect copyright.PENANAKTizYxR4nQ
Draken said. “Malcolm trusted you, Cuvera trusts you, and you have the trust of70Please respect copyright.PENANAN6PVEhrVaj
the Blades. It’s time you started trusting them. You cannot find the answers70Please respect copyright.PENANAr6bblyEL2X
you seek by hiding.”
Vander knew that he was speaking70Please respect copyright.PENANAYHRrn39Ox6
the truth. There was nothing he could do now, he was trapped. Only two options70Please respect copyright.PENANAnVyPG5PYnk
lie ahead of him: fight and die or turn himself in and have a chance. He slowly70Please respect copyright.PENANAqG1oO2neT7
nodded his head.
“There is a book in my room.” He70Please respect copyright.PENANA16kpGQY1NH
spoke. “A book that Peyton killed the King to get. Make sure he doesn’t get his70Please respect copyright.PENANAnDvTagFVit
hands on it.”
“Do you know what’s in it?”
“A description of the Gods,” he70Please respect copyright.PENANA0gHoVeLg2b
explained. “Other than that, I am not sure. I only looked at it once.”
“I will keep it safe.” Draken went70Please respect copyright.PENANAEIYvjdrzBG
to leave, but Vander grabbed his arm. He pulled a necklace from around his neck70Please respect copyright.PENANAu0gRNKYxBy
then handed it to him. It was a long white tooth, a trophy taken from the70Please respect copyright.PENANANpm1BaBwJh
Shadow Beast he had killed. “Tell Shea that I will return for her.” Draken took70Please respect copyright.PENANA9We1QqQeGQ
the tooth, nodded, then disappeared.
Vander gave himself a few minutes70Please respect copyright.PENANAJtaQto2ozy
before getting off the bench. He walked back up the ramp where he could hear70Please respect copyright.PENANA5aeibaAuvv
the soldiers interrogating any of the patrons, they could get their hands on.70Please respect copyright.PENANAdrT6xqdPXY
Some were being rough, punching or kicking those who wouldn’t answer their70Please respect copyright.PENANAPR2iqITyID
questions.
“Where is Vander?” He heard Leon’s70Please respect copyright.PENANAy1iJDj6qKx
voice ring out over the shouted. It was followed by a thud then a scream. It70Please respect copyright.PENANA2ehL1apGuv
sounded like Alexander. Enraged, Vander burst out of the tunnel. The guards70Please respect copyright.PENANAmDtPCvaT5d
around the entrance were too startled to do anything as he raced towards Leon.70Please respect copyright.PENANAREFEYZiwzI
Alex was being held by two other guards as Leon punched Alex repeatedly in the70Please respect copyright.PENANAsUupESCkct
face. No said a word as Vander grabbed Leon’s shoulder then, as he turned70Please respect copyright.PENANADpmKkqNGUo
around, clocked him in the jaw.
Alex freed himself by bringing his70Please respect copyright.PENANAW1uPLV4sLz
head back against the nose of one of the Blades that held him before throwing70Please respect copyright.PENANA6JQLHZN6gI
the other on the ground. Leon scrambled to his feet drawing his sword.
“Kill them both,” he screeched.70Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lkcwdmu2e
Blades looked at each other warily, unwilling to listen to the captains’70Please respect copyright.PENANAPo51lSA46d
commands, and the soldiers didn’t move as Leon didn’t give them orders.
“The orders were to bring them in70Please respect copyright.PENANAkyq8zT0Oqf
alive.” Vander looked over to see Eric Jilena walking over towards them.70Please respect copyright.PENANAGhoVntFDr6
“Though, I wouldn’t mind you fighting back a little bit so I can get revenge on70Please respect copyright.PENANALDWPiX4hfT
my son’s murderer.”
“I didn’t kill your son.” Vander70Please respect copyright.PENANAfpIund7NoX
sighed, but he raised his hands and got down to his knees. “When I left, he was70Please respect copyright.PENANAuaXbeQUwJs
unconscious.”
“Not that I don’t want to believe70Please respect copyright.PENANA06ZT1S9hM4
you, but when I saw him, he was dead. Only two of you know the truth and one is70Please respect copyright.PENANAk7cBibQKSQ
dead. Excuse me if I don’t believe the words of a king killer.” Eric spat.
“You’ll find soon enough that I am70Please respect copyright.PENANA9BWK5wAppS
innocent on both counts.” Vander said, his voice steady. “I am not surrendering70Please respect copyright.PENANANAL7HHY15h
myself to you, I am surrendering myself to Alex as he came here to convince me70Please respect copyright.PENANAJmLz793JF6
to turn myself in.” He hoped his words would keep Alex from being punished. “He70Please respect copyright.PENANApXVrZraWTi
had no part in my escape.”
“Is this true, Captain?” Eric70Please respect copyright.PENANAjbJlUFwaQK
looked over at Alex. Vander prayed the Alex would understand that he was trying70Please respect copyright.PENANApcGVMjDZfv
to save him. Alex took one look at Vander, before nodding to the General. “Very70Please respect copyright.PENANAhjfoorV5na
well. We got what we needed anyway.”
“We will see about that.” Leon70Please respect copyright.PENANAb8F2yqq4g8
snarled. “I know you’re guilty and I will prove it.”
“Do whatever you want.” Alex70Please respect copyright.PENANAcERc27GmTh
shrugged. Alex placed his hand on Vander’s shoulder. “Up you go, let’s get you70Please respect copyright.PENANADithjrgIdC
to the castle.”
“I will not risk him escaping70Please respect copyright.PENANAaslEkDL9mq
again.” Eric snapped his fingers. Two soldiers rushed over carrying heavy iron70Please respect copyright.PENANAfAQz2zGUCW
cuffs. Without a complaint, Vander held his arms out. They were clipped70Please respect copyright.PENANABtaOd61ln8
securely to him then four guards took positions up on either side of him and70Please respect copyright.PENANAVetOkp5DJp
started to march.
He could hear Shea’s panicked70Please respect copyright.PENANAc0KmwqEUpM
voice filling his head, but he told her that he would be back soon and not to70Please respect copyright.PENANA4rj2MX40DZ
worry, before he shut her out completely.

“Alex,” Vander whispered to his70Please respect copyright.PENANAejXnbWxWMk
friend. “Hide the black book. Keep it with you at all times. Let no one else70Please respect copyright.PENANAYPNVUMPnvF
see it.” Alex nodded before dropping back. Vander held his head high ready to70Please respect copyright.PENANAfXZMitn7Pk
face the music and the weight of his choices.
