Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd9NFLxmy1
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8bOR1zdv9
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePuAycgNYd
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dypmnQfls
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66EDW7DURH
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3cs1XYpcx
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTmBXOZ7hF
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXGc3dLVMx
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI42BNzTe58
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWRLv5EfVz
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAXEEwK13S
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkygLmpK5pP
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsddzxlIpvN
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHve9b8NXa
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqLBu0fBps
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mvEa8ICa7
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgNH8Ju0Md
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Nd2PlDHQ
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo98K7LNl2a
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2QJK4cPgx
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6rwxJpfy1
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCa6Wrtb7V
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHCmseQ5pc
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmGwBxWhLy
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKnaSLzKZS
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa1tMIBLlK
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELY9Hb1b1J
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VRbDoZQiw
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mw60fJopJ
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3YnsymMq5
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC7lYSsPIz
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMdlgjy3Vu
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5suUUuPxe
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY1dqFvgTa
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl5gIPdyWF
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX974gj5fe3
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYXpgZMZ2o
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1aNVwLncE
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqGCaDW3pT
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpoIZ2qMfs
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpqS3LhyZC
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6MKhaaIRL
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PSoiyl6mx
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeXvBQ9zoY
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim6xWJrWMt
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dEBwN4DhH
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tQjVx1NSW
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSGSRYTJzG
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MDTIRkiYH
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYNXn9f3kh
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH373zaxrkS
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoLr7Abkr0
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoEkNZB1EK
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBXoQbeJ9h
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqslgsVPYvY
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtMTvTj8qP
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFfnvr3PMP
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDssDhxSa6
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjGBFNb3Ol
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXr6yrFWXS
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUXKBwlvAW
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXtulBbQp7
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjSPbqoQWu
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWog1L6ZCA
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow2zhv7j7b
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvmFbOJSdQ
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBLFFZrYaJ
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9BiTdxsdW
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AhvjE35XR
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QICMKfJHD
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0lsSuwlcU
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ008ctrRbgT
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1LfLMeWNZ
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhJsFpwuq6
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY1DyqWOEF
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IXU13L9Zn
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXlAyKHmO
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMWGHrvKj0
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuTj8cHwME
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZR40V5EEK
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhKCb7UYhz
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFXs6P3mHm
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDgfMb4hWj
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67EaHf0qs
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpR5x50ZZD
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeATzJXDpwO
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWPYuyDivO
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj16MJZM7vH
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVKS6uEAa9
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1YKoErFPS
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pqYaMEhH1
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fv8DxLV4Z
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZRQYxaHzG
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUaJPYt97M
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXxuAHJt5J
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI01r7gZJB6
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEK3ASVgg9
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wODPsqMDW
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLubGKBhFdj
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIacFi5NsZ
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVU2399xw6
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBHMG2P9Ja
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N0yfA97AY
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RYrkp2U0L
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppspPN6vsa
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLuDtXdkVY
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4FD5zmlD5
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbTJrZUnoy
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIX9dfYw9g
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f4x8a0k2o
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZoNsl8yeO
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M8BtQt7U4
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnHe4gFE5Y
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1QBwFGSvX
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuOLBLPZ9c
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfYET1kvQI
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkoSDJEPoY
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVM3IAZMLr
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffyW2wIhWG
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJoJdwjqFO
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOVurbStFC
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoepSh85Woh
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDTn3zModX
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jiAbYQyfk
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4sqiaqcbI
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfEWj3yR1v
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknc50Z4ZwJ
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxbnPPgCav
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmIvZGFymW
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Np3km94Z
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNrK6bg2T0
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GStFS9bAL
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGaHxdiv5i
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxeND8jr4E
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbVo95kaBP
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgubJXsQPw
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mhbOXUQ14
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNvYCiHi4k
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0wC20xTjI
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83N6nHz2Tx
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFMcbLs5DM
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6YxNPkGQY
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYaFgFWtkT
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5zwHe7q1D
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGNWRimmyV
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsqrzfyz1Q
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0vWrOyAtg
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdOjIWe7ae
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAySIvRgL1D
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyr4b7Gs2h
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdby2qQfuXo
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLeaFV61ou
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzf4XCmvTG
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYRG2qNcyz
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGr1S756mX
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe7cOMMkPC
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5JKG4UIVa
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt3ZQpke4R
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq9btzCS0x
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZEHzU50ta
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAzwA0AHfe
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMSHrARcqm
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlusZ3aF9Ir
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHocxAwAFde
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRXEDVUK7M
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wPUSBrrUU
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoLKWvUOPy
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N5ryUJxQu
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmaP4X0pa5
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlSsn2xjtx
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iS0FrhLTR
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XenfyJp4O
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcYPVte4bR
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGXqIH9AMV
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB7t2CL2hm
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ5nTevEZy
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGw1xj9tik
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpWwby9jCe
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p6hdu5hsk
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XtZfNUp8d
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SsQZAjbGI
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidVoRoGQhJ
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OWIGVL9wk
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bTDmJcll1
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OqjktkIjZ
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI3vls3zYj
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrkDUWgyKq
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgSxAkvI7U
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFEYaEYrda
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlGDsXOHWo
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXQ9w41kVl
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm7yU3qbuQ
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS4pNYhNsc
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IMgG6GZgy
where he promptly passed out.
