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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAoQDrsX07S1
Footsteps from behind.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAiQKLsL0toL
"They will kill you; why don't you com-" Parcival placed his hands on hers.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAcKHxh6TLGb
"Then what? They'll burn this town to ashes looking for me."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAgPIIRLgUZF
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAWe4ZscVcWT
She rubbed her arm. How am I to follow Olenus' teachings if-? There wasn't any other choice.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAttoVGuP1Bd
Parcival's palms smacked the tabletop.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANArnxgWxOYpf
"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."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAzNM3zFhU26
She flinched.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAV9wD5XjgBV
"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?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANALraHHU2S4M
"Do you know nothing of the Elven?"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA8IlNv6IgeI
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?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAUzrZRsdyUL
"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."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAqnIWmo6lm1
A pained expression crossed his face; it was at odds with his words.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA10EFP6qG5B
"If you like, I could tell you a little, sometime?"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAtcQhZZ1pO9
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAETB15rn06Y
"Would you? I mean, it would be most interesting to learn about your history; so little is known."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA5fqqkQo4X1
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAQ31Kin8Owq
If you get too soft people will die. Remember, he's out there.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANATCNAHPn3TN
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAwugt8og2mN
Get a hold of yourself now.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAcwy74UPiRk
Reality sucked rotten hog hanks as Maxwell's voice lanced from outside. There were no joys not for me.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAyler9hOTQK
"I want no mistakes, this time, understand? Capture them both and burn the town to the ground!"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAr6DYJfEOzz
It was hard to see through the tiny carved window.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAd19L4KFAxi
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA9RJ3OtvcIo
Maxwell faced his men. They all nodded. They spread out, each standing by a house with an unlit torch in hand.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAU72hz7v9q2
"Let me go out there. A woman should not do this. This is absurd!"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA5E89GRixvs
He held both her arms with both of his hands.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA3H9SEHHMRQ
"You're not going out there."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAZmSU5KsyIr
"Let go, now." They never said not to knock them unconscious.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAjizY0xMzI3
"You shouldn't have to do this ..." He breathed in several short, shallow breaths.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANASfGGkehxFr
She suppressed a smile. He really didn't know? The naivety was refreshing.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAjSyImtHIaq
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAr5zJ1gAel6
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAWnG3HSkWx1
Resisting makes it harder. Like it or not, this is happening. The side effects are unfortunate.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAEr9IRyKU4P
Everything had a haze to it as if a bad dream she couldn't quite shake off.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAKKS6gguUzA
"You need to recover more. Go lay down. I'll take care of this." He held out his hand.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAWhVvmfIqJ3
She moved to him. A pinched expression strained his face.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANALysmCypImD
Before she could ask him who he was, a voice in her mind interrupted her.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAvRay7jbEfp
Pretend you know him. Say nothing.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAYkE6zlnwEI
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAo3EdnWerNw
She rubbed her forehead and breathed a ragged breath. "You may be right."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAA4V0e1hp2u
"Your face is flushed." He came over and reached out.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAsLkS0Lu0oS
She bent away. Now wasn't the time for this. Need a clear head.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAgukOVrVU3x
"You don't have to go out there."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA0jLyBE05sl
Out? should I?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANATuAlUQB3gd
You decided in the name of peace to dispose of Maxwell.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAQnYXqprnrj
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANARUHjQFE9Fu
"Let me help." The man stood in front, his eyebrows raised.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAaa6orFlPZp
This one sucked less. Did he have the other? 1020Please respect copyright.PENANAB7mHjkyKhS
Yes, let him take care of Maxwell. It's time to go home. Do you remember?1020Please respect copyright.PENANA62g7rF79hB
But you just said not to. Who are you?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAS7TSJFG2e0
I changed my mind. Do as I say.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAzzetalGVI6
Another rush. A broken image of a dry wasteland, its sky dark, broken by lighting. This was home?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANARGgLolEDty
Yes. You must get there.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAVg3nR8fOUd
Who are you?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA7CSsuTrK7Y
A friend. His thoughts were syrupy and thick in nature.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAv5cGGz0Axt
Rings of smoke tickled her nose. A cat man sat reserved puffing his pipe. His ears turned back.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAhGTKXjLMHC
In the Undergod's name! She backed up as he grew closer. Would it eat her?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA6UsERqIiZD
"You're looking ill."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAxaAz1qNDop
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAwupfl1Jztt
"Remember when you found her in the rafters?"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA3mJALjmqWg
The cat-man breathed in a deep, fearsome breath; his teeth poked out.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAkLQHwb16T0
"The infection seems to have an adverse effect on her. It would be wise to get her to stay in here."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAVkWd9Bicqj
He pushed the chair next to the table, picked up a necklace with beads on it, and put it around his neck.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAzx6LYNyMW8
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAcgDa18237s
"Don't go out there!" the cat-man said.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAwKu02nLmMl
No, let them take care of it.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAs4eBOsygxI
You're crazy; make up your mind! Could the others hear this voice? No, of course not, they'd say something.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAdGXa84AJ76
Nobody tells me to shut up. You ... it trailed off, quiet.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANADrarM5sjnH
"Where is the disgusting Elven? Send her out now, or I'll burn this town!"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAAk3KVsj3rr
Hoofbeats resound outside.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAMD2RLQMp5t
Through the window slit many men passed.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAe9o7qX4w8t
She edged closer to the door, gripped the steel door handle, and took in a deep breath.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAl9mv4jY2Wi
Several doors slammed outside as the panicked people ran into their homes.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANARjrx5pAsru
"You have no right to threaten our town, you filthy bugbear!" the old woman yelled and shook her hands at Maxwell.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAPzTbALHXy5
"Hold your tongue, woman, or I'll cut it off."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANATiosc5hBGr
The blue-eyed man came out of the church then stood in front of the old woman.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAHiFwZ40Hbd
"You will not."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAbNqTgifSBk
Grabbing the handle, she yanked it open and went down the steps.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANABUDjpoXPPD
"Leave her alone," Marryn said in a tight, baneful voice.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAIyxciVRn75
Defying me? For what, a wrinkled raisin of a woman?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAEi1KR5zA71
Do you ever stop talking, spirit?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAfpxCh6R1pR
The old woman ran into her house and slammed the door. The already empty streets grew even quieter, if that was even possible.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAe5gcHOCC7B
The blue-eyed man came over.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA6CEO5hUfca
"No, get out of here."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANASiT0cut1k1
She pointed at the road. "Go."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAmFmj5foP56
"I will not. You know exactly why."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAmMRV4Eos8j
He straightened then pushed her behind, sword drawn.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANABf4WUpLaLh
"Go back inside. I don't need your help." Fourteen harpy hells, this man was vexing.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAWvwBe8Aqpb
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAZb1zi14RyH
She shoved the blue-eyed man out of the way.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAvTp7TiQm83
With little time to think, much less react, she swerved out of the way. She stumbled and caught her balance.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAeiFfa43bN8
The armored man wrapped a hand around the hilt of his sword.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAC6NsdkqEow
The cat man grabbed his hand and shook his head. He motioned the other man to move back over to the church.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAG3kLZ06pwF
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAgnSTK7o8tB
She turned her head pleading with her eyes, don't.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAKUEh0PmsRY
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAmBY4ATwQfC
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?
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAqyBr6OneGG
Han shook his head. "Let it be. He's a king's guard."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA5GRpU9yeET
"The law? You mean his law." Parcival spat onto the ground.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAimajsGhIYE
"Are you trying to get us all killed?" Han yanked on his arm.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA09waJBn3kc
Maxwell turned towards them. "I'll deal with you later."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAKUEMtEnyrt
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAxmOLsHY8jI
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAnrgBonA9Ih
She backed up into what she assumed was a lamp post. I want to go home, back to the temple.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAABTnj9jKLm
As do I. Shut off the inner waterfall already. It's fight or die.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAQltRLYIBI3
I really, really, really hate you.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAXYGE0hGOmN
Never should have opened my prison then.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAPYiYQKdlxC
She pushed up against the lamp post, standing tall. It helped shore up some courage or at least bravo.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANADpcqKCG4ZJ
She hissed at Maxwell and lunged at him. Gah, just go away.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAp0r35y7V9X
"Your corpse on a funeral pyre would look pretty, and such a fitting entrance to the Underworld."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA2SHLJt9J6N
She shrunk back and tried to edge away. The answer left a keen pang in her stomach.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAj0ixw2GL7P
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAfH0ZpMCNdv
Maxwell held it with both hands, now, as he attempted to land a massive blow to her skull.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAhsd93tHJLc
She gripped the post with both hands, twisted in mid-air and swung around, and let go. Both blades crossed in front of her.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAolQYLe8fPC
"I don't want to fight. Leave me alone, now!"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAj6MK4g2ykW
"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."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAxphL7tc9k7
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA6YD267tIMq
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAPI1FjIIUAD
All I want is to help. Let me take over for a while.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA22aSHl0IR2
Don't want your kind of help.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA7kKSjxpW4W
She ran at Maxwell with her blades crisscrossed and aimed for his neck. I won't lose to a human.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAO3htrl7FJS
He is mine, as are you. Let me stop him. Give me control.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA36Qeux2MFH
Go away.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAIc1Hsq3K12
She clenched and unclenched a dagger handle, while tracking Maxwell's movements. There had to be some way to stop him.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA5WHgIJziji
"So close, yet once again, you missed the mark!"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAQhdtU7zr34
He backed and parried. His muscles bulged as he pushed down on the blades.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAEqswVIYzwY
She fought against letting loose the hungry ancient heart contained within, threatening to boil over and consume the last gossamer thread left of control.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAjMUc2FUjCf
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAFxk7LgRyvQ
No wonder they locked you away. She squeezed her fist as the blood call gnawed under the surface. Shut up!
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAYLU8M0Mb9j
His spear clashed amid the blades. He pushed down, sending a spray of sparks erupting into the air.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAegQ566Azvm
The day grew hotter and pushed down on her, almost as much as Maxwell.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAgpc6y2BOQl
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?"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA9jJLZDnrbR
"That isn't-"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAzLo3WDBEnH
His words heavier than any spear.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAeyT0AoUFsE
Let me out, now or die.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAC2S7Lxa1ma
Be quiet!
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAePdaUyGvMZ
Maxwell pushed her down to her knees.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAJDa68kOumn
How can he grin right now? Her arms burned with the effort of moving the spear tip away from her neck.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAUlZkVD68iG
The armored man dashed forward, then pointed his sword at Maxwell's head.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAwW1QCNVzfA
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAq2NznlYwHh
"Get back." Sweat dripped down her forehead and off her nose.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANATaaysyJh0d
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANApRoP50iOQO
"He's innocent; let him go," she said.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAbZHkbfXwhm
Maxwell grounded his teeth, snarling. "Go home, fledgling."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA1n03JDC686
Han grabbed Parcival by the arm and dragged him away.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANADsb7dag3TJ
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAFtXdnChyfL
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAc5Xjs0wc5A
Blood ran down his arm in a stream; the smell of it filled the air with a sharp metallic smell.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANANzDC6IExnJ
She ran at him, again and tried to stab his bare chest.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAFbHeNBTUNs
He pushed away from the dagger with the sword hilt. "What are you smiling about? Stop it, I say!" he said.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAADHOLjMghg
An instant later, he stepped back. Smiling? Since when is a grimace a smile? Idiot.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAXVWeFWWe8w
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA0ldNTchgzr
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA6ANprmjQxH
"Stop this!" A shuffling of feet.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAN8bLqp9nyz
"You want more pain, Paladin?"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANABnr7G6RqR7
Moving was was painfull, she staggered and fell.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAP0684R8CZb
Han closed his eyes and turned around.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAwFyOO49Z8u
"I hate her more, than I fear you," Maxwell said. "I don't fear you much, cub."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAw4c6KXAaXT
Parcival ran at him.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAjK5cRs7Grz
Han slammed into his knees, knocking him down.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAIt4MODAPRD
"He will kill you; ignore the taunts."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAt0NzUIwxj6
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAXS4StpvEXD
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA34vwgzQU29
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANARZ0wCksMAA
Parcival dashed into Maxwell and struck his leg, slashing a deep cut through the cloth robe. They went rolling onto the ground.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAttyVeTVVYh
Maxwell stood first then punched Parcival in the nose, stunning him. Tears came out of Parcival's eyes, and he cupped his nose, moaning.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA991Rp0ergE
Limping, Maxwell slowly backed away then jumped onto his horse as he signaled to the others to follow him.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAVXoxi4CzY4
Casting his gaze at her. "We will finish this later."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANACGyq78JqlU
Then to Parcival. "You think I'm the evil one? Ask her. Ask her what she's done."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAO1gy5fS2jr
Dust filled the air as he and his men faded from view.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANARDmF439zLw
"What in heaven's name is going on with you?" Parcival asked.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANApKzGLGCEYX
Come home to me vessel. They'll never accept you.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAKqeq82jpdj
Don't care.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAb0ZXek531w
You're lying to yourself. Come home. They can't give you the peace that I can.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAJIXPZIDCLR
With that, the vines pulled back into her body.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANARe6Bfp2WqP
" ..... " She closed her eyes. If it thinks I'll cry it's mistaken.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAw8EyGIN7Mr
Han arched an eyebrow at her. His ears perked up. "Hum."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAUQUzfygvSr
Han stepped over to Parcival, putting his hand on his nose, then closed his eyes and whispered a prayer. His hands glowed white.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA2XxTVxPeKt
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.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAzk3KaSiuQE
She went over to him. "Thank you."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANABEgrostYNn
He nodded. Before he could say anything, she quickly hugged him and let go.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA7nG7tim9Ec
"I need some time alone. I'll meet up with you both later," she said.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAjwF4s6KstP
"I'll be at the Library they have here. It's not the largest I've seen, but it should be adequate," Parcival said.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA0sFnpgfSQ1
She looked over to Han.
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAde1FAq1ev6
"And you?"
1020Please respect copyright.PENANAKgWA6OFHjY
"After this day, I think a good stout drink is in order."
1020Please respect copyright.PENANA2nfmUt9THX
He lit his pipe, turned about towards the town's only inn.
