Chapter 24
Vander hated the rain. It had107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEZV3WGNFX
rained ever since the first night he had fled into the Orange Fox after the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRJoJRp4Hv
King had been assassinated by Peyton Cranton, but he had taken the fall. He had107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFuANDCeaL
been forced into hiding like a rat while the person who had gotten away with107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs3WebvLUA
lived like a King, manipulating everything around him.
The council wasted no time dubbing107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqA0kr1UD9
him a criminal and giving him a bounty of five hundred thousand gold coins for107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbhG7Y3X5
his capture. Wanted posters had gone up on every corner and every house within107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1CrVBbm50
the outer ring. He was a pariah in his own city. Within the first few days he107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJqqXzRk5D
had decided that he would take matters into his own hands. He would act and107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XrMtLngjJ
gather the evidence he needed to clear his name then bring Peyton to justice.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8DoFC1CeG
Weeks of careful investigation had brought him here, to a single story house107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XVyqxxgiZ
close to the Northern District.
Rain splashed107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY5KwX1KIu
down around him as lightning crackled above. The hairs on his arm rose due to107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbXTNJcw3A
the static in the air. Any wrong move could draw attention to where he was107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK3YaUlYQg
hiding, and he did not want Rolous to see him. He held his breath while107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIKreWyahO
stilling his heartbeat hoping against all odds that he would stay unseen. He107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CeK2GsQ87
watched as people ran for cover, but his eyes were focused on one house where107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSYuQsE9nG
his intelligence told him a group of Green Serpents were hiding out. Over the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5MNk0E387
past several nights he made a mental note of how many people entered the house107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8frBo5X2yz
as well as how many had left. Tonight, must have been a special night because107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC3YPUng6i
ten people had gone into a house where only three would normally fit. It was107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQVEl3TM5l
time to move.
The man dropped down from his107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMxIOLJPV0
perch, the roof of the house opposite to his target, and landed on the ground107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nc9sgcFNE
with barely a noise. The shadows clung to him as he crouched then ran his way107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYbte228lG
across the street. Luckily it was dark, and no one would be out on the street107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZNAbIm1m8
this late at night. He didn’t want to have to ruin some poor soul’s night107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t6zgNx9ra
because he was careless. He ran towards the door then placed his ear against107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJExPkElpYc
the hoping to hear what was being said.
“We have new orders from Fang,” a107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf3qXNqSBO
woman whispered. She was a few floors down, but with his hearing he had no107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgEZUR1O5o
problem making out what was being said. He had discovered Fang a couple of107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0SgnzftTE
weeks ago during his first raid, but he didn’t know who they were. However, it107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTQ5UpQmFq
seemed as though they gave the orders to the Serpents in the city. They were107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnCp0DwarF
the ones he needed to reach to gain any information.
“What are they?” someone asked.
“Seems as though out benefactor107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMKBf4pILv
has told them that we need to capture the missing Blade, Vander, alive.” She107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvB8BPxayS
explained. “We only have a couple of weeks. What should we do?”
He listened as they began107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJTSB73KJd
brainstorming all the way they could find Vander. Some of the ideas were crazy.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnR7AHHUWM
Someone suggested they go door to door and threaten the lives of everyone107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQKFCBrEBp
inside to see if they knew anything. Another mentioned going to visit Julianna107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCmOrezQZt
since the two of them had been close, she might have an idea where he was107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWurhz8C0kO
hiding out. A third mentioned going to Ross and paying him for the information.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XSfFNnx80
Unknown to all inside, that was the only way they would be able to find Vander,107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU7VV0CMOo
but they would never get the chance to find out. He would deal with them right107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstmIE0Hd2T
now.
He quickly looked through the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF6C46SsYp
cracks to find two guards standing there with their backs to the door. Only107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmRh8Sh7iv
novices wouldn’t be outside to guard the door, even if they didn’t want to draw107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKn8ZwFleb
attention to themselves. This was foolish, so he decided to teach them a107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFhpPVACXM
lesson.
He carefully walked away from the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvhw8Kv0yf
door then steeled himself as he charged forward. He shoulders check the door107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqtVHu5hcL
causing it to fly off its hinges. Normally people would have shattered their107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MSnRYK9Fq
shoulders, but he wasn’t normal. He was blessed with the powers of Unna and the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIHaclumR3
demon inside craved blood.
“Intru…” One of the guards shouted107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGN3I2BtDu
out, but he didn’t get far. Vander shoved a dagger in his neck silencing him107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTHYvCy6Xs
almost immediately. The other guard didn’t have time to draw their sword before107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZaQeIeei4
Vander was upon him tearing out his neck with bare hands. As blood dripped down107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcci8ZuoM2
from the cartilage, Vander threw it at the next person who came up the stairs107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj3GZ4wetD
that had been dug through the floor. They cried out as blood splattered their107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWCKwz6Wdy
eyes, but they wouldn’t have the chance to wipe it off. Vander jumped, kicking107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLyqLXUit
him down the stairs, sending them both into the darkness below.
He landed on the blinded man’s107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ZTvQLkk1
chest. He heard the satisfying crunch as bone shattered, breaking his back. Vander107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWvol8OrKS
heard the heart stop beating as the final breath left the man’s body. Vander107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4srx1uoUAQ
looked up at the Serpents who looked shocked, but it would wear sooner rather107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Kly2fcWI
than later. He was lucky that they had cornered themselves into a very small107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wxz4Fw8zE
room or this would have gone badly.
“Damn it.” The female speaker drew107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQi17EQ8ol
her sword. “It’s him. Don’t just stand there, kill him!”
Vander lunged forward grabbing the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI38wpEjvnV
closest person’s face then slamming them against the wall. He quickly removed107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlySOIIWX5
his dagger, gave three quick stabs in his chest, before tossing him into107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwMBk0UWB9
someone else. The two bodies collided then fell onto the ground. He ducked as107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR8dDYmUI8
the female swung her sword at his head. The sword collided with a wooden shelf,107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVnoa1UCZk
but she pulled it out rather effortlessly. He jumped forward, but she was107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEOkwmXJx
waiting for him. She dropped the sword then met him head on.
She was stronger than she looked.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9hB5OwpeW
She grabbed him by the shoulders and started to walk forward. He could feel his107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1U93AnSC4
feet dragging backwards. She grinned at him, then taunted him by calling him107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVklg7VJvE
weak and a pushover. The demon couldn’t stand being belittled so it whispered107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWaIol94y8
into Vander’s ear telling him to tear her throat out. He ignored the whisper.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIploO7qYly
Instead, he grabbed her then pulled her towards him knocking her off balance.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgRKzqLjSc
He fell backwards, bringing his foot up into her stomach, then threw her over107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IBgyEXoK8
his head. She landed on the man Vander had previously knocked over.
“Bastard.” A sword swung down107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT4TAQhTOh
aiming to split Vander in half. He brought his hands up clapping down on the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq4fi7xV7g
weapon. He felt the edge bite into the palms of his hand, but the gift he had107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhh7gH89TA
would heal them with minimal scaring. Vander’s leg lashed out at the fingers107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyVOJENBEj
holding the sword. He heard a satisfying crunch followed by a scream as the man107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2YYmRWURs
stumbled backwards holding his broken fingers.
Vander spun to his feet then swung107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaxcvxfRUC
the sword hilt into the man’s jaw. He involuntarily spun around as pieces of107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIPqmBtj6A
teeth flew from his mouth clattering onto the ground. He fell to his knees107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJmKSSTCub
clutching his mouth as blood flowed freely between his mangled fingers.
He quickly surveyed the scene107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNdfa36qCI
around him. Two were still trying to get to their feet, four had been killed,107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9IcI7Zez3
and one was out of commission for the time being. That left three unaccounted107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk6c2yvCvX
for. He could see them downstairs, but there was nowhere else they could have107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRwl6Fs3pw
gone unless there was another hidden path leading out of the house towards the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hOftR7KF9
streets of Eluvia. He would have to see where the path led, but first he had to107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ5t8UwVWo
deal with the survivors.
Vander flipped the sword around107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTRea0jg2n
catching it out of midair. The man with the broken jaw didn’t put up a fight as107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSsQdan4HV
he shoved the tip through the man’s neck. Blood gurgled from his mouth as107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkOPOWrBMZ
saliva and blood blended. Vander kicked the sword free ignoring as his enemy107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW03zm7CJlw
drowned in his own blood.
The two made it to their feet, but107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB31Zu4li6S
they looked nervously at each other as they looked over the carnage surrounding107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMHNncGjo
them. He had only been down here for a few minutes, but five of them were107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eBoHpmLGp
already dead. It didn’t bode well for them, but they would have been a disgrace107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjTKO7rnli
to their reputation if they surrendered. The two of them exchanged glances107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95bYzlGXAR
before charging Vander.
He brought his sword up to block a107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXtuQiJJey
strike then kicked the other person away from him. He lunged to the side making107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl1bOZz4KQ
sure to keep both of his enemies either next to or in front of each other. They107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqGsABNqy
were hesitant to attack while their partner was on the way, which made his job107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzUEENjI78
a lot easier. As he blocked another sword strike, he grabbed a dagger from his107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBJ5cmFvGg
belt and shoved it through her wrists sticking them together. She dropped the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1YqFfsQps
sword as she screamed in pain. He removed the dagger then jammed it through the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaCvmompR9
top of her head. Her eyes rolled back as she slumped over, dead.
As the last Serpent screamed,107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHBlnmdlnn
Vander spun around and thrust the sword through the space between his arm and107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzBWc1dW4T
ribs skewering the Serpent on the Blade. Something wet and sticky hit Vander’s107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xWO1SII5K
back as the body fell into him. Sighing to himself, Vander removed the weapon107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwN0vzFXmj
from his enemy’s chest and stepped out from underneath him. The body hit the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdJo2xEwMK
ground with a splat. Now that there was no one around him posing a threat to107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9qSOqqvBe
his safety he decided to look around.
Stepping over the fresh bodies, he107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk2NS7IAma
started his search at the table they were hovering around when he entered.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSpOzOdjmL
There was a smoothed out scroll lying there that seemed to have been undamaged107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDB4BkZyR6
despite all the blood and fighting. He carefully picked it up to read the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1thMOIH3gb
contents in the low light of the candles. He wasn’t surprised at all when the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgjUHqD5hd
contents were just as he overheard. Someone wanted him brought to them alive.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQFrSmKijy
He could only think of one person, by why alive? Why not dead? It would be107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSfdC9WwoI
easier for Peyton to control the narrative that way.
“You should strike first.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5q3mowgjZ
Vander ignored the chill traveling down his spine when the voice whispered in107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC3cKOqchM
his ear. He could always feel the demon trying to take control, even through107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdKuRbEK9A
all the mental barriers he had put up to protect himself, but it was only107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSJE5CICU2
recently that he could hear him.
“No,” Vander growled. He rolled107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZltxKAC7OJ
the paper up before sticking it into the pocket inside of his jacket. “We can’t107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVJ4p9WmZE
kill him until I clear my name.”
“Let me take control.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP18Ff0sJ2
Vander saw the shadows ripple along the wall. Two dark red eyes looked back at107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoIhl7riv1
him. He turned away, suppressing his fear. He couldn’t give the demon any more107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs4I6sw0UY
power over him, he had already become so strong.
“Begone.” He swiped at the shadows107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGulBOjGIf
erasing the eyes from his mind. His head was filled with laughter that slowly107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJG2tvvzbi
faded. It was a promise that the demon would return to take control. It was107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDnoOQuaQu
getting easier to feel tempted ever since he fled, but he had to stay strong107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOf7x8WYDa
until he could figure out how to remove him completely.
He took a quick look around but107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacSNzgLaXH
didn’t see anything else worth grabbing. He went upstairs to check there, but107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45OL7o3t4V
he heard footsteps moving around. He froze as he recognized the sounds of heavy107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi75053Hehm
armor clanging on the wooden floor.
“What the hell happened here?” a107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2HaN1OaCw
guard asked.
“I don’t know, but go get help.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKKzEdJhWr
Another said. Vander heard him bent down to check the pulses of one of the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8huIN1P0l
guards. “They’re dead. We will have to wait for backup.”

“Understood.” One guard left while107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPW5jorbSr
the other stayed behind. It wasn’t bravery, it was foolishness. You never knew107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoSQk0ntys
if the culprit was still in the house. Someone who could kill at least two107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQwFOlKAi7
people was not someone you want to be alone with. The guard overestimated his107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBv4FVibgy
abilities and part of Vander wanted to teach the man some hubris, but he wasn’t107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRZjljEvr
here for them. As quickly and as quietly as he could he stepped away from the107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqipCLz3nKS
stairs and down the tunnel.
