“The horse pawed the ground and snorted, throwing its head up and down in an effort to escape the smell of blood and burning flesh whilst on its back the Queen of Vinmore hung on as if her life depended on it, which of course it did. The first troop of the Royal Guard, a hundred heavily armed men mounted on huge war horses surged past them to engage the treacherous king and his magician and to fall from her horse now, where the two armies met, would mean instant death.Using all of his strength a...nd skill as a horseman Barrin hauled the horse out of the confusion and instantly the three other guards who rode with him closed around the queen’s horse, boxing her in and making sure that she wouldn’t fall. As one they turned around in a tight formation and galloped back towards Alewinder ignoring the queen’s orders to stop and fight. Daun may have been his queen but it was Swordmaster Dilor who had given him his orders to get her to safety at all cost and that was just what he was doing.He glanced back over his shoulder and winced as the queen brought her riding whip down on the back of the guard riding at her side.MoreLessRead More Read Less
