Revelation
““What else do you suggest?”
“Kill him. He’s but another Derzhi assassin come to clean us out. There was a whole troop of them. What else do you need?”
“More than that. He’s got a number of questions to answer, and I would say he’s had something of a falling out with his friends, if friends they were. Despite what you’d have me believe, thinking and listening are often as useful as bloodshed. Get a horse up here.”
“You’re a damned fool, Blaise.”
“It would be a dull day indeed if you didn’t tell ...me that at least once.”
These pleasantries were going on across my back. The hands that had given me the sip of blessed water had also shifted me just far enough that my head was level, resting on a folded cloak. I felt like my body had been ground between two millstones. But at least I could hear.
A burst of enchantment from behind me came near splitting my head. Being facedown I could not see how the doubting man departed. The solid beat of hooves had me fooled into thinking there was a horse already in the glade.MoreLess
