Chapter 6

Elman was drained.

The Torean mage was dead, his manor razed, and his apprentices captured—but the fight had taxed him further than he wanted known. His legs burned like they had run all day, and his chest and arms felt like they had been stretched at the rack. His mind was numb.

So he assigned the Koradictines to guard the rear and ensure the apprentices did not escape.

The slaves, he corrected himself, the children ceased to be apprentices as soon as they had been captured. He had assigned the Koradictines to ensure the slaves did not escape.

It was a task even a Koradictine should be able to handle, and it should serve to keep them out of his business for the evening.

Elman rubbed his eyes.

He was no fool. He understood what was going to happen to those slaves.

These slaves would be herded into a camp with others, then marched to the deserts of Arderveer, home of Takril—the most powerful Torean wizard alive—to be offered as a gift. When this gift was accepted, however, it would likely destroy what little remained of the Torean House.

Then the Lectodinians could finally turn to the task of cleansing the world of its Koradictine blight. Despite his fatigue, Elman grinned. That time could not get here fast enough.

The clopping of hooves drew near, and Oldhamid appeared at his side, his eyes glistening in the moonlight.

“The superiors will be pleased, no?”

Darkness hid Elman’s smirk. “Yes, the superiors will be pleased.”

“I think it is important we report our successes together.”

“Fear not, Oldhamid. You will receive proper credit for your part.”

Oldhamid was silent a moment, then nodded and fell back.

Wonders of all wonders, Elman thought—a Koradictine who took a hint.

One of the slaves whined.

“Quiet,” a Koradictine mage said, drawing his sword. It was a bit dramatic for Elman’s taste, but achieved the desired effect.
