Merryn opened the door a little. Maxwell again. Somehow, he always managed to show up. How did he keep finding them? There were no mages in his party, at least none that looked like one.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4jusO2Fxj8
Footsteps from behind.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANARANi8TZeAd
"They will kill you; why don't you com-" Parcival placed his hands on hers.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAa5kJBOga12
"Then what? They'll burn this town to ashes looking for me."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgyvmU2lk8a
She took her hands out of his. Did he really care, or was there another reason? She wrapped her pouch's ties around her fingers tightly.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAq2Lp2m6LfJ
She rubbed her arm. How am I to follow Olenus' teachings if-? There wasn't any other choice.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA07If7IWd75
Parcival's palms smacked the tabletop.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWLBRok14yY
"Takes only one hit from those spears of theirs, and you will be afflicted with the poison, paralyzed, waiting for a slow death when your heart explodes hours later."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABOEUpuHCIG
She flinched.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAB4EBENeWSm
"He won't be able to touch me, much less injure me. You forget who you're dealing with, human," she huffed. She glared at him. Insulting is what it was. Losing to a human?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2OG5yX767V
"Do you know nothing of the Elven?"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAA9TyxIMsm3
The hairs on her arms bristled, and she fought down a darkness, a darkness all her own. Can't let it win. It's bad enough the god had piggybacked, but to have to deal with what the dark spirits had placed?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAearwqFOcO
"I admit my studies are lacking when it comes to your people, but only because they refuse to share much of their history and culture."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdDZifEPgCQ
A pained expression crossed his face; it was at odds with his words.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2kmTLeX7lt
"If you like, I could tell you a little, sometime?"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAr3jsXeoL4R
It was strange caring about this; everything inside was a warped mess. Have been hanging around with the man too long. Is this the weakness mother tried to explain? She scowled.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6oAWzLNx7p
"Would you? I mean, it would be most interesting to learn about your history; so little is known."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAr9ax8zq8Bv
His face took on that look only young kids had and in his eyes, a spark kindled for just a minute. A smile played on her lips. His mood was Infectious. Hea.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcsjDuPaDC2
If you get too soft people will die. Remember, he's out there.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXBm4nOlq7H
It was something she wanted to bring back often. Everything they'd told her about humans just didn't fit, to how he this one acted. She bit the inside of her cheek. It brought back some measure of control.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbHVCPw0A8L
Get a hold of yourself now.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEPR1N9ubCE
Reality sucked rotten hog hanks as Maxwell's voice lanced from outside. There were no joys not for me.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANASDvTcwHa4E
"I want no mistakes, this time, understand? Capture them both and burn the town to the ground!"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ey4bJSk2C
It was hard to see through the tiny carved window.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1chC1CPqQ8
The Nekhawk circled the church above, swooping down. It landed on Maxwell's shoulder. Its tentacles curled upwards as it preened a wing. Not that thing again.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANADwQxGR12BO
Maxwell faced his men. They all nodded. They spread out, each standing by a house with an unlit torch in hand.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABHwU8zhj6W
"Let me go out there. A woman should not do this. This is absurd!"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhTb1vWX1Jp
He held both her arms with both of his hands.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkmJSQs7xSi
"You're not going out there."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAM3P8BG2d6j
"Let go, now." They never said not to knock them unconscious.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANASCme7rLeyU
"You shouldn't have to do this ..." He breathed in several short, shallow breaths.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4oDnHNs7VJ
She suppressed a smile. He really didn't know? The naivety was refreshing.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVkdb7o9WTs
The vines on her back warmed then turned hot. They worked in deeper. She backed up slowly to the wall. Dizzy again. Sounds took longer to understand.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlvORg0nk6a
The vines under the skin of her neck moved up; they tapped repeatedly at the back of her skull. She clawed at the vines and shrieked.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAncFd4C6frF
Resisting makes it harder. Like it or not, this is happening. The side effects are unfortunate.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEGe3dKnBSO
Everything had a haze to it as if a bad dream she couldn't quite shake off.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATDsGGT5o3S
"You need to recover more. Go lay down. I'll take care of this." He held out his hand.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAV4O7LW0kaJ
She moved to him. A pinched expression strained his face.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANApUOua1HWtG
Before she could ask him who he was, a voice in her mind interrupted her.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAV7HaaJVm5Z
Pretend you know him. Say nothing.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwJWlTgaN3s
This voice. She held her head in her hands. A vague memory surfaced. An image of an energy field. A yellow stone? Ah, a crystal, it turned dark then went away. The ache that came with it didn't.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgJTKjP2EIR
She rubbed her forehead and breathed a ragged breath. "You may be right."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjtCoTtDnNm
"Your face is flushed." He came over and reached out.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOGN7S04Kgg
She bent away. Now wasn't the time for this. Need a clear head.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAumZri9xq02
"You don't have to go out there."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAP5hpXChddq
Out? should I?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsfALouQlKs
You decided in the name of peace to dispose of Maxwell.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2gOdlSG3Km
Destroy? Peace, what was this? Let me wake up! The warmth cooled, and her scalp prickled. She shook her head as a rush pricked over her scalp. A thought in the back if her mind, it fluttered out of grasp. Listen to the man or a creepy voice. Both options sucked.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAosDJUehBA0
"Let me help." The man stood in front, his eyebrows raised.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVepl5UAl4L
This one sucked less. Did he have the other? 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAloVnovYE4j
Yes, let him take care of Maxwell. It's time to go home. Do you remember?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfK9IrTTwnV
But you just said not to. Who are you?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAeZxZdz4jFS
I changed my mind. Do as I say.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAD0RtuJhgkl
Another rush. A broken image of a dry wasteland, its sky dark, broken by lighting. This was home?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAONSaJCadU0
Yes. You must get there.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANADvlgEol5gf
Who are you?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANANodWoH2HvE
A friend. His thoughts were syrupy and thick in nature.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJLQWQ4Q8sK
Rings of smoke tickled her nose. A cat man sat reserved puffing his pipe. His ears turned back.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiw1noItfVI
In the Undergod's name! She backed up as he grew closer. Would it eat her?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAk7Yj2GAbga
"You're looking ill."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABAIZDbp3V5
The strange blue-eyed man was suddenly close to her face! She scrambled; her back pressed to a wall. He looked at her, then at Han. His brows rose and then crinkled.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8LF0WCWug
"Remember when you found her in the rafters?"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfVZqD1fZlh
The cat-man breathed in a deep, fearsome breath; his teeth poked out.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEZDWhCo7sc
"The infection seems to have an adverse effect on her. It would be wise to get her to stay in here."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPX1yprGa6c
He pushed the chair next to the table, picked up a necklace with beads on it, and put it around his neck.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYpRtYPFwMM
She edged towards the door as they talked. Where's Dad? Where the hell is this? Have to get back home; a pulling from within towards the sea and beyond called.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGjsgGdIDxK
"Don't go out there!" the cat-man said.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkekxXqJpDi
No, let them take care of it.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfnBymM0pn7
You're crazy; make up your mind! Could the others hear this voice? No, of course not, they'd say something.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANASIGCWjy2wz
Nobody tells me to shut up. You ... it trailed off, quiet.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFpQSRZAdvn
"Where is the disgusting Elven? Send her out now, or I'll burn this town!"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkGky0Gndf4
Hoofbeats resound outside.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkazPwSKPYo
Through the window slit many men passed.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnmMaOda2cs
She edged closer to the door, gripped the steel door handle, and took in a deep breath.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEqM1osg3vP
Several doors slammed outside as the panicked people ran into their homes.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2x2SmUTlfZ
"You have no right to threaten our town, you filthy bugbear!" the old woman yelled and shook her hands at Maxwell.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfaGGLUXaad
"Hold your tongue, woman, or I'll cut it off."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyI6NN6tyv7
The blue-eyed man came out of the church then stood in front of the old woman.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxDJ1YpmOEl
"You will not."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANALO1ITSuolG
Grabbing the handle, she yanked it open and went down the steps.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUt3gV90pr2
"Leave her alone," Marryn said in a tight, baneful voice.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3oJsusFqVw
Defying me? For what, a wrinkled raisin of a woman?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAA0BUzFjKtm
Do you ever stop talking, spirit?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHu9EE8O90M
The old woman ran into her house and slammed the door. The already empty streets grew even quieter, if that was even possible.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYtHuzT6b1j
The blue-eyed man came over.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiqv1FWUFiN
"No, get out of here."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAruSVVmAN6L
She pointed at the road. "Go."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmqX1BPrPc0
"I will not. You know exactly why."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMEKVnU8Tdz
He straightened then pushed her behind, sword drawn.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAR1sudqWFEu
"Go back inside. I don't need your help." Fourteen harpy hells, this man was vexing.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATr0t4VEVM0
Maxwell. I know him. As for the others the names were fuzzy. Negative energy came off him, comparative to a squall ready to blow through anything in his path. Clenched teeth and face taunt, he pulled the spear off his back ,dashing with it.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABCykrTrLOh
She shoved the blue-eyed man out of the way.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5F8xJm8QRB
With little time to think, much less react, she swerved out of the way. She stumbled and caught her balance.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAb4dNvJMT6O
The armored man wrapped a hand around the hilt of his sword.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIxmEPVCn1t
The cat man grabbed his hand and shook his head. He motioned the other man to move back over to the church.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2YAQC0RIhz
The headache faded; all came to focus. One minute it seemed she was in the church talking with Parcival, and then in another, facing Maxwell. What was going on here? The vines relaxed, and her clarity returned.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtpYTOYQBJV
She turned her head pleading with her eyes, don't.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAC1MRSHCtUd
Parcival's arm fell to his side, and his fists clenched. "This is all wrong." He went down the church steps, hesitated, and followed Han.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbmMCJDjPUZ
He spun around then lunged forward a few steps. His brows had knit together with his lips drawn. He gripped the sword's scabbard so tightly the leather grip squeaked. So protective, why?
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlmwHCvsNz7
Han shook his head. "Let it be. He's a king's guard."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZOoWh3YlaC
"The law? You mean his law." Parcival spat onto the ground.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAylpNfwkDRO
"Are you trying to get us all killed?" Han yanked on his arm.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAf1BicKk63r
Maxwell turned towards them. "I'll deal with you later."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0hmS2E3qL0
Then focused on her, she let go of a breath she was holding. He ran towards her and lunged. The blade of the spear clanged against her blades.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYvKXjobkpD
She avoided the same fate to her neck, by craning away a fraction faster. Have to get out of here. Am way over matched. What to do? There's so little time. The way back to the road was open. Could just vanish now; that last loss of spiritual energy was the worst to happen this week.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAace2RlkzPF
She backed up into what she assumed was a lamp post. I want to go home, back to the temple.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4hdDdnr7vD
As do I. Shut off the inner waterfall already. It's fight or die.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHx2pqP1EUT
I really, really, really hate you.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWmAvfJH5z4
Never should have opened my prison then.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUBJuDRrxXv
She pushed up against the lamp post, standing tall. It helped shore up some courage or at least bravo.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVetaMJMZ6w
She hissed at Maxwell and lunged at him. Gah, just go away.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATs64YTE0F8
"Your corpse on a funeral pyre would look pretty, and such a fitting entrance to the Underworld."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvc0arPd50w
She shrunk back and tried to edge away. The answer left a keen pang in her stomach.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsGOtSRJUkK
He spun the spear in the air and aimed at her head again. Great, just great! Her pulse quickened, and her breathing faster. That was way too close.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtsgnvSKga1
Maxwell held it with both hands, now, as he attempted to land a massive blow to her skull.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANARmCc8dqbEQ
She gripped the post with both hands, twisted in mid-air and swung around, and let go. Both blades crossed in front of her.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAv7f6YtWJV8
"I don't want to fight. Leave me alone, now!"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3jRebhxf9
"You say one thing and act in another. All is irrelevant. You'll pay for what you did. If you want to make it easy for me then, go ahead."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAeAI46w1V7P
He jumped back, his arms out for balance, and then lunged forward with the spear. She ran around a large flower pot, jumping onto the eaves of a house. His spear hit behind her; several roof pottery tiles shattered.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAt4WanG662z
As he came closer, she kicked at him. It didn't phase him. He closed the distance and twirled the spear above his head. It whirred in the air. She cried out and backed away into a wall.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaLpXUqaij6
All I want is to help. Let me take over for a while.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqyWKer2N8V
Don't want your kind of help.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8xS82BJBBE
She ran at Maxwell with her blades crisscrossed and aimed for his neck. I won't lose to a human.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAm05VoZDx7N
He is mine, as are you. Let me stop him. Give me control.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANARkNFVBBAvu
Go away.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAU5L6ebomaW
She clenched and unclenched a dagger handle, while tracking Maxwell's movements. There had to be some way to stop him.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJoDjCX67eT
"So close, yet once again, you missed the mark!"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvoeTVLGSXn
He backed and parried. His muscles bulged as he pushed down on the blades.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAF2K1ZZDKE2
She fought against letting loose the hungry ancient heart contained within, threatening to boil over and consume the last gossamer thread left of control.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANARojzhfNgj5
Listen to the call, the blood of your enemy dripping from your blade. The sound of shattered of bones, the pure glory of the kill. Your people were once great warriors, now infected with compassion and peace. Don't deny your true self.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZdkGB6VD0T
No wonder they locked you away. She squeezed her fist as the blood call gnawed under the surface. Shut up!
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtTIzqXuGnn
His spear clashed amid the blades. He pushed down, sending a spray of sparks erupting into the air.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANALwzOCoXPSU
The day grew hotter and pushed down on her, almost as much as Maxwell.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcfBW9Wp3HJ
He looked down at her. "Why do you fight me? Accept your death with grace! I was not the one who slaughtered thousands of people that day! Or, are you just uncaring?"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAT1V9Ca2SVX
"That isn't-"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPs1FssIhUb
His words heavier than any spear.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA07z6E8DUk4
Let me out, now or die.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAh8HNXmnAOv
Be quiet!
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkUYugL7TOF
Maxwell pushed her down to her knees.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANABYwAqAFuIC
How can he grin right now? Her arms burned with the effort of moving the spear tip away from her neck.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjoa9KU55xk
The armored man dashed forward, then pointed his sword at Maxwell's head.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzxobxdMH3D
Maxwell looked at him, his eyes but slits. A darkness formed over Parcival. He dropped his sword onto the grass. He slumped down on the ground and collapsed.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvQuDj8AgTI
"Get back." Sweat dripped down her forehead and off her nose.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVg3zwFAPTF
Parcival's face peaked, and his lips whitened. He clamped his mouth shut. His eyes glazed, and he drew in a breath through his teeth. His legs twitched violently, and his eyes rolled back into his head, showing the white undersides.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkhKUyAV4A5
"He's innocent; let him go," she said.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA22cfZzGhjf
Maxwell grounded his teeth, snarling. "Go home, fledgling."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwlcTI2okWY
Han grabbed Parcival by the arm and dragged him away.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGEvsCs7ffd
He focused on her, once again; he struck the spear down hard near her heart. It took all her concentration to hold the god at bay.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6NtUFrjMRA
With each breath, she drew in the spear, inching ever closer to her heart. She let go, freeing one hand, while keeping the spear away from her neck with the other. Her other hand slipped out a throwing dagger she hid under her back armor. She slashed at his hands and cut a deep gash on the top of it.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAN4QKbMgaHE
Blood ran down his arm in a stream; the smell of it filled the air with a sharp metallic smell.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5CRh3J1lOD
She ran at him, again and tried to stab his bare chest.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZZAjW1I2ga
He pushed away from the dagger with the sword hilt. "What are you smiling about? Stop it, I say!" he said.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYCT6gHMJOX
An instant later, he stepped back. Smiling? Since when is a grimace a smile? Idiot.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmL8CgFJYyc
Maxwell's head jerked back, and he sucked in a breath. Before she could move away, he backed up, then twirled around and landed a lucky strike that clobbered her shoulder.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0MByzbHuRO
She tried to get way as he hammered down on her with the blunt end of the spear. It was all she could do to protect her head with her arms.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1I6iDy63AQ
"Stop this!" A shuffling of feet.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANADRq3ain59J
"You want more pain, Paladin?"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHOpyNGnSD5
Moving was was painfull, she staggered and fell.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA65zYxtxBmw
Han closed his eyes and turned around.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2RAJki4FXV
"I hate her more, than I fear you," Maxwell said. "I don't fear you much, cub."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA21uHPi4FdV
Parcival ran at him.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHg1bXZ1E2a
Han slammed into his knees, knocking him down.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIeYSWgQQPY
"He will kill you; ignore the taunts."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAF9qfhluUQD
Maxwell smiled at this then bent down. His eyes narrowed to a thin bright line that flashed across the edges. He whispered a spell and held his hand close to her face.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1AIYgPAfxO
The pain was immediate; it wracked through her body. She pushed her nails onto the top of her arm and tried not scream. Only the weak screamed.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwcu9ekXspf
Standing above her, his deranged smile broke into a fissure from the corners of his lips and pulled up his cheeks. He held his spear in both hands, thrusting it for the moral strike. She glared, unflinching.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlMiIkhKkIU
Parcival dashed into Maxwell and struck his leg, slashing a deep cut through the cloth robe. They went rolling onto the ground.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAc1JyHzMI8V
Maxwell stood first then punched Parcival in the nose, stunning him. Tears came out of Parcival's eyes, and he cupped his nose, moaning.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANACVBvirDQ7A
Limping, Maxwell slowly backed away then jumped onto his horse as he signaled to the others to follow him.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFUxb7LuFme
Casting his gaze at her. "We will finish this later."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhe65i3MhMb
Then to Parcival. "You think I'm the evil one? Ask her. Ask her what she's done."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANALGSyQF9gXd
Dust filled the air as he and his men faded from view.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATJglQXUO7Z
"What in heaven's name is going on with you?" Parcival asked.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANARgufdcsWVH
Come home to me vessel. They'll never accept you.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkHgvfVsUuU
Don't care.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlu3Zhimrv8
You're lying to yourself. Come home. They can't give you the peace that I can.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkcoRIlFXfD
With that, the vines pulled back into her body.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXxEyK6izBQ
" ..... " She closed her eyes. If it thinks I'll cry it's mistaken.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANANrmdqwuttD
Han arched an eyebrow at her. His ears perked up. "Hum."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAl7byLPFz4R
Han stepped over to Parcival, putting his hand on his nose, then closed his eyes and whispered a prayer. His hands glowed white.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPuQ2BJ6sXo
She watched the plume of dust. What if next time-there was little point thinking about it. Do the job and get it done; little else mattered. Her chest tightened again.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVcGH9fz5m9
She went over to him. "Thank you."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANANJsPtxf4rU
He nodded. Before he could say anything, she quickly hugged him and let go.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzHUhyK63g0
"I need some time alone. I'll meet up with you both later," she said.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQKZxhN85VS
"I'll be at the Library they have here. It's not the largest I've seen, but it should be adequate," Parcival said.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAys1NzhopyC
She looked over to Han.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4Htr2Opjc9
"And you?"
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbFbqh4wEh0
"After this day, I think a good stout drink is in order."
1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzjtZSC0TWy
He lit his pipe, turned about towards the town's only inn.
1000Please respect copyright.PENANATLoAzwEiNF
I better not. Her mind spun with everything that had gone on lately.
