CHAPTER NINETEEN
Eryn
âWilem, hurry.â
Eryn kept her eyes closed, her thoughts focused only on Silas. She could hear the sound of blade against blade, and her heart raced in rhythm to the combat. Wilem had said he was here with a General, likely another of Silasâ contemporaries. If Silas were healthy she wouldnât have been so concerned, but she knew he was tired and wounded, and that put him at a huge disadvantage in the fight.
Every second was a labor, her intense emotion the only thing keeping her conscious. Her position slumped over the back of the stallion behind Wilem was sparing her body some effort, but she didnât know if she would be able to lift herself up to fight, let alone somehow defeat Kelkin and take possession of the cure.
She knew she was going to die without it. Die, or worse. The throbbing in her thigh had continued, but now it was spreading along the entire upper part of her leg, leaving it burning and itching. She also felt like her mind was suffering along with it, her thoughts beginning to form more slowly. She hoped that was only a symptom of her exhaustion.
âShhh. Weâre almost there. I hope youâre right about this.â
She had been surprised to learn that Wilem was a Mediator. She had been surprised to have overcome him so easily. She was even more surprised to find out that he too had been tricked and lied to. They had brought him out here to die. She could understand why he felt angry and betrayed. Still, he had agreed to help her with hardly any hesitation. Was that because of his anger, or his heart?
âWilem?â
She heard the older Mediatorâs voice as Strider slowed to a stop.
âI have her,â he said.
She could see the glow of light through her eyelids.
âAlive?â Someone asked. A woman. Wilem had said her name was Talia.
âI thought Clau might want to question her.â
âRemarkable,â Kelkin said. âI didnât think you had it in you, boy.â
Eryn could feel Wilem shaking, bristling at the remark. His hand shifted back to the saddle, his fingers finding the strap that held her wand. âI think the rumors may have blown her ability far out of proportion. It was barely a challenge,â he replied. âWhy arenât you helping General Clau?â
âHe ordered us to wait here. I suspect it will be over soon. Morningstar looked like a limp rat before the fight even started.â
âItâs over then,â Wilem said. âThe Liar dead, his Whore on the back of my horse. I suppose you get to retire early, Master Kelkin.â
The older Mediator was silent. Wilemâs fingers slowly manipulated the strap, loosening it so that Eryn could reach it without trouble. Once he was done, his hand moved to a second strap that held her sword.
She heard the sound of hooves and felt the breath of a horse on her face.
âSheâs younger than I expected,â Talia said. âBarely more than a child.â
âLet me see her,â Kelkin said.
Eryn heard rustling, the Mediator dismounting and approaching on foot.
