Chapter 37
No one came to see him for the76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2i5zEAJRK
first day. Aside from some lukewarm water and moldy bread, he hadn’t had76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBbCfuk9yx
anything to eat either. He spent his time curled in the corner allowing his76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM0muBCroj
negative thoughts to control his mind. He thought about his failure at protecting76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9OAqhkb5R
Malcolm that brought him to this place, forcing him on the run because he76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhBydDx0xu
hadn’t been prepared. If they had taken a little more time to think about it,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ztKWUEt8
they should have been aware that there could have been another traitor amongst76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgnRyc0JDR
them. Cranton, the one who vetted all the servants, the closest to the king,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqBW6qBHWF
and able to move unseen. There were clues, but they all ignored them.
Now his best friend, the one who76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Oh8L1abh
risked everything for him, might be in jail as well, or in trouble at the very76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ523o1HFaY6
least. He betrayed his vow all for the sake of friendship. At the very least he76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GP28pqLSU
could be removed from the Blades. At least he had someone to fall back on, if76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup6ipmaBBb
this went south, Vander had no one. He didn’t even know where his grandfather76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjKK4uegrS
had gone and with no way to reach him, he had no one. The despair was too76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjeUM9FubQ
great, so he buried himself inside his own mind hoping that things would get76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew8R6rJLgY
better.
The demon scraped against his mind76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUJYPCDTIs
begging to be released. He would make all those who hurt them suffer76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAr4kupkOz
unimaginable pain. He could start by removing their skin piece by piece until76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq4hpUKfFm
they passed out from the pain. Then he would carve out their organs with his76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyirm2pakkz
bare hands, not stopping even after the body died. Then they would be tossed to76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZWHTe7PDp
the forest for the animals to have their fill. He begged, pleaded and76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta30B1QjdG
threatened, but if there was hope, Vander would not give in. No matter how much76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8iGEGQVa5
he wanted to.
He wasn’t sure how long it had76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOZDXM7foO
been, but eventually he heard the door open. Based on the sounds their feet76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB48JioCOR3
made, there were four people coming down to see him. None of them, except one,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ftwlMJHW
was wearing armor. He recognized her scent clearly compared to the others.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsNkWluDky
According to the book, and her, the two of them were bonded. Despite knowing76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTBWBFu342
nothing about her, he didn’t want her to see him like this so he hid closer to76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC0CE40JXa
the shadows hoping it would be enough. It wasn’t.
“Come out, Vander.” Her voice was76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO9WTRIPU6
soft, full of warmth. He felt the presence of Atza beckoning him, pushing the76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYLbDnepBU
demon further into the recesses of his mind. He looked over to see her kind76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFphixfWUX
expression staring at him without hate or malice. In the face she looked76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudoqrvdd9n
worried. Her eyes were sunken in. Her normally glossy hair hung loose around76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ5bUvCjsu
her face. In the three months he had been missing, she lost quite a bit of76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoxfLQ8JKH
weight.
The others she was with didn’t76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9xjo5BTEi
really surprise him except Whitesun was there. He had no idea why the southern76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdxbkYZO2h
warden was there to see him, but he couldn’t think of any good reasons. Maybe76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVoRGx2bxX
the council had finally made their judgement.
“Have you decided what you were76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd5jXrqpv8
going to do with me?” Vander asked. He looked over at Cuvera who met his stare76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jezT6MkJ2
with his own.
“The council is split.” Cuvera76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo64WQr4eo
explained. “There are many who don’t believe you capable of killing my father,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiyNoSZH0q
but they also don’t believe that Peyton would have been capable either. Then76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zXzQUeh0
there are those who think you did do it, and nothing would convince them76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteuU2hiwxO
otherwise.”
“Not once did we doubt you,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0A7zos8ZE
Vander.” Kiara’s voice was kind. “We were hurt that you felt you couldn’t stay76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOYTvUdAr0
and plead your case, but based on the considerable resources that were spent to76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7hUFJDgDX
track you down, as well as the venomous rhetoric that was spread against you,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU310n97Y6S
it ended up being for the best. You wouldn’t be safe here, not with the76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18vWYt9rlV
influence many of the nobles have in the city.”
“Then why am I still locked up?”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYsORuZBK
he asked. “If you believe me, why keep me here?”
“Because we can’t release you76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JGwubrjB
without proof that Peyton killed my father.” Cuvera explained. “As it stands76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tQYpYmsvd
it’s your word against his and he has more sway amongst the nobles. I know76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgBOkNOSO
you’re innocent, but they know that I would protect you because we are practically76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfDSfof0gr
brothers.”
“How do you know I’m innocent?”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJzrx65zHE
Vander countered. “I could be the monster they think I am.”
“Vander!” Eliza gasped. “Don’t say76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyyHY6jHkr
things like that.”
“I know because I saw what76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPg6JaqYdc
happened.” Cuvera sighed. “A week after my father died, the ceremony to take76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKRTrjfp9a
the shard of Humjir into me was performed. I saw everything leading up to his76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiFydlNiMG
final moments, including him telling you to run with his dying breath. I’ve76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DgNVsrD21
known him for months, but Peyton has the power now that my father’s gone. I76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTUNWAebRk
can’t do a thing.”
“However, I do.” Whitesun spoke76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReCgCYVfEz
softly. “Even though I am the farthest of all the Warden’s from the city,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8HVRRBxwq
Malcolm and I were good friends. I believe you Vander. I think you are a kind76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwYPoF4Fai
soul despite the stigma surrounding you, I can help you.”
“How?” Vander stared at the man, a76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhgDXm1ltX
stranger. He couldn’t quite believe someone would be willing to help him just76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0VfM5ZhWY
for no reason. There had to be another motive, but he would be damned if he76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRmW6s4pN6
could think of one.
“You let me worry about that.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQvqSau8z2
Whitesun held out his hand through the bars. Vander studied it for a moment76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomodNBQ9ZW
before accepting it. The two of them held hands for a few minutes past what76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19BTyEpZCR
Vander was comfortable with, but before he could say anything, Whitesun let his76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQKjeVC7eT
hand go. “I wanted to see what kind of person you were, Captain.”
“What have you discovered,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivtPGbJt4o
Warden?” Vander bit back.
“You are a principled man devoted76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rVCY5amo5
to your goal of protecting those you love.” Whitesun smiled. “There is no way76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXeV664LyI
you would have killed your surrogate father, no matter what may have happened76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxzNUqmGex
between the two of you.”
“You gained all that from shaking76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWaopmLC34
my hand?” Vander shook his head. “Excuse me if I don’t believe you.”
“No,” Whitesun laughed. “I got76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaVceDUatz
that from talking to your friends. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some damage76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkThtAcQxag
control to do.” With that he excused himself by heading back up the stairs.
“If anyone can help you, it’s76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4v8hOv9kk
Malakai.” Cuvera smiled. “You protected us from the Serpents, now allow us to76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rr9JqIfdW
help you.”
“Thank you.” Vander embraced his76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISoyV3KdY
friend, though it wasn’t complete due to the bar standing between the two of76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MOskBN4sv
them. “After this is done, I will devote my sword to you and you are alone.”
“To us, Vander.” Cuvera wrapped a76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbgL23hxfq
possessive arm around his wife. “And our child who we are going to name for my76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgtgACn5Al
father and your grandfather: Malcolm Charles Elan.”
“Or Mary Charlie Elan.” Kiara76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrT1j4jkVF
interrupted. “If it’s a girl.”
“Either way, we want you to be its76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOthfslqd0
guard parent if anything were to happen to us.” Cuvera smiled. “Both you and76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtsEjqhxGb
Eliza, even though she already agreed.” Vander was touched, but he knew that76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ3XZz2d8J
there was still a lot of work to be done before that would become a reality.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHJ3fwDaxT
Starting with him being released.
“Provided I am released, I will.”
“Excellent.” Cuvera grinned, but76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiKOC8xCUx
after a moment, he became a little more serious. “I need you tell me everything76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbxhj8cjqY
you can about this assassin who killed Humi. If someone this dangerous is in my76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSYguOhUVO
city, I need to know everything I can about them.”
“I didn’t know about them until my76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfuVE9GA6k
attack on the Green Serpent base.” Vander explained. “I found a handwritten76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVMr6CuzBt
note that said that someone known as Fang was coming after me. I assumed they76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WWdcfSLNB
didn’t know where I was because I didn’t end up with a knife in my side while I76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxZFEoLJ7k
slept. They must have picked me up somewhere then waited until I was distracted76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRY1Pg0twz
before coming after me. If it hadn’t been for Humi there was a chance, I would76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsX5KKoP70
be killed.”
“Any idea who they were?” Vander76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9BqilZ21R
shook his head.
“None, they wore both a mask and a76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9RuPrHZ8r
hood.” He explained. “However, they infiltrated a space that was protected by76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeuqjTM50B
Humjir’s ability. Which,” he glared at Cuvera. “How is that possible? I thought76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigye3UXNbQ
only Malcolm, and now you, could use those powers?”
“It’s complicated, I don’t truly76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zGD8d3MVO
understand it myself.” Kiara placed her hand on Cuvera’s shoulder then76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK9xmPg9ng
whispered in his ear. “I’m sorry, but Kiara is tired. We must go but worry not.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrARh2rCtbc
We will get you out of this.”
“Are you going to stay?” He looked76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UuIWwN4WH
at Eliza. He didn’t know why, but he really didn’t want her to leave.
“Of course.” She grinned, holding76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kOPIH49Ca
up the cell keys. “I can’t let you out, but I can go in.” she placed the key76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5tSlXbvqE
inside the lock and turned it. The door popped open, so she allowed herself76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nfscOksT4
inside.
“I’ll come to let you out in the76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgcHe7ZarD
morning.” Cuvera held his hand out for the keys, which she returned. “Enjoy76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckEUsabllF
yourself.” With that, Cuvera and Kiara left the room leaving the two of them76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72d0zQVXKJ
together. For the first time in a long time, Vander felt tongue tied. He didn’t76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT9FwhUO09
know what to do.
“Sit down.” Eliza sighed. “You76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlleqNw12oM
look like you’re about to fall over.” She sat down against the wall then patted76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uWxRqsw1d
the open spot next to her. Not sure what he should do, he sat down next to her,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIaGVuNAO7
but made sure none of his body touched her. “Am I that repulsive that you won’t76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zWPFrErFn
even touch me?” she sounded hurt.
“I’m sorry.” He spoke. “I’m just76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhbD7DtfrQ
scared. For some reason I get nervous around you, like I don’t want to76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4usOGF4DWz
disappoint you. I’ve had plenty of partners, but this seems foreign to me.”
“I guess that’s to be expected.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsTIwhh0C3
Eliza smiled. “I’ve known about you ever since I was young, so I’ve been76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTAlHuoD4T
preparing for my entire life. But you just found out a couple of months ago and76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKO5XwBVEe
we never got to spend any sort of time together. So, for now, how about we just76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPUz1tv4a7
get to know each other and let this occur naturally?”
“You’d be okay with that?”
“Of course.” She spoke. “You can76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwywNwtdOV
be completely honest with me; I won’t judge you Vander.” He hesitated, but he76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPBrtFG84y
didn’t feel any treachery in her words. It was time he became honest with76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qgh3kXrnv
someone other than Shea. It was time for him to be vulnerable.
“Are you sure you can handle it?”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgibCEN0shT
he smiled. “You’d be my first actual relationship since getting dumped by76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCbuHcjzCX
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 it76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM1DAWrD9S
was the first real laugh he had had since his best friend’s wedding. Perhaps,76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGhcQ8gOnH
just for tonight, everything would be alright.
