Chapter 12

“Name, and purpose for entering Rhimera.”

It had taken a couple days to get through the pass. We’d taken the path nestled between two mountains. Going uphill we’d needed to conserve the horses and it had taken us over a day. On the other side the downhill slope had taken us only a few hours. Despite the calm delivery of the words, the Rhimera border guards looked alert; most of them had hands on their swords.

I wondered if we had gotten there too quickly for word of our arrival to reach.

I rode forward slowly, overriding the Captain’s objections with a look.

“I’m mage Marcus, head of a diplomatic envoy your emperor has invited. My purpose is for talks in how to deal with the goblin issue I am sure you are aware of.”

The man frowned, “We haven’t received notice of this. It is late, perhaps you could camp alongside the road here while I get instructions.”

He clearly didn’t believe a word I said, but was smart enough to check before making any unfortunate mistakes.

I didn’t see an alternative, all of this had been arranged via magical messages, I didn’t have any proof…

“Very well, but time is of the essence in this matter.”

He nodded shortly, “I should know by midmorning tomorrow.”

As I turned my horse I heard him issuing orders, sending a group to the closest town with a mage. We headed back into the pass a hundred yards or so before setting up camp. I didn’t want any misunderstandings to occur.

The Captain, Mike ordered his troops, “Set up camp, get a picket set up and keep a close eye on our friends down there.”

He turned to me and said, “I’m surprised they weren’t prepared.”

Ari said lightly, “Bureaucracy, they probably didn’t consider we would arrive so quickly.”

I nodded slowly, my voice amused, “Most likely.”

It was a little strange for me. Tina set up the tent then helped a couple of soldiers cook our meals. We’d had a system for setting up the camp, but every time Ari, Alethea, and I looked around for things we would normally do, they were getting done by the soldiers.

I couldn’t help but notice how comfortable Sally and Steven were with it all. But then they’d grown up here and were comfortable with their place and having everything done by servants. I’d been in similar situations in my life before, I knew leadership, but back then I was very different.

With nothing else to do, the three of us decided to spar. We took turns fighting against the other two. We slowly drew a crowd and a part of me was annoyed by that fact, as if they were intruding somehow, but I knew that was foolish and shook it off. They were here as an honor guard, but they would also die to the man, or woman, to protect the five of us.

“Sergeant Julie, would you or your men like to spar?” I asked.

She nodded and with a harsh look on her face asked for volunteers.

The men were some of the best that Cirenthia had to offer.
