Swift knuckles sunk into his jaw, loosening a tooth, and he tasted blood. He spat it out.

“I’ll nae be patient. Most my kinsmen lie dead, as will you, but I’ll make it quick if ye tell me now.” The demon peered closer, his rancid breath heated Thomas’ nose and mouth.

What was this all about? He’d his own fortune from trades further than Jerusalem, but no one besides Marcus would have knowledge of that. Even the daftest of men wouldn’t expect a man to carry wealth while traveling. He clenched a fist and the bindings tightened around his wrist. “You killed my only treasure. With that, you’ve sealed your fate. Forever.”

The lunatic waved away the threat with one hand in the air. “Not the woman, laddie. The gold. Where did yer mother hide it?”

How long had it been? Thomas ticked off the years since he’d spoken to his family. Little Tom was conceived six years ago, and he’d spent two with Marcus in the wars to the south. His birth family was nay poor, but a treasure? He’d no idea to what the mad knight referred.

As a youngster, he and his siblings had played in the halls, searching for treasure, but it was all a game. One wall of the old keep had a rhyme, written by his French great-grandfather. The trésor referred to his wife, lost at an early age and buried nearby.

“Do you refer to the D’Agostine trésor?”

The man leaned in closer, for surely he was a mere man, not a minion of the devil. Unfocused and mad liquid eyes shimmered in the light of the fire. A tiny spittle of drool dripped out of the corner of his mouth. “Aye, mon. You know of what I speak?”

Thomas leaned back, forced his shoulders down and his legs long. He shrugged, closed his eyes and recited. “Forget not my treasure, buried deep beyond measure. Gold so beautiful, lost for always. With it goes my heart.”
