Kell couldn’t understand what had just happened.

One moment he’d been sharing a bottle of fire-swill with his two best friends, and then along came strolling that little noble bitch, casually walking her way through their part of town in that fine red coat and breeches, like she owned the place.

Everyone knew her mother, Lyona, was a slut. They had a fancy word for it. Was it cucumbine? Was it conkerbine? It was something slick sounding that was hard to pronounce. But it didn’t matter what it was; she was just a whore. Willem had been obsessed with her for years, ever since she’d returned to town. He insisted that she just needed a real man to put her in her place and that he was the one for the job.

Of course, he’d never made a move against her because everyone knew she was Tybalt Skolder’s sister. No one dared to cross Tybalt. The reputation he’d earned as a mercenary, that was to say a killer, was well-earned. Laying a finger on his family was the same as slitting your own throat.

But Tybalt and his son had left months ago for the summer campaigns. And everyone knew how dangerous mercenary work was. There might come a time when he would never return to Anders. And if that were the case, miss fancy noble whore would be left all alone.

Willem had been talking about paying her a visit more and more often. He’d also been working Brader and Kell up to it as well, talking about how there was sure to be money in that fancy house, maybe jewels and other wonderful things, but mostly he’d just wanted the woman.

And then along came that girl, and it seemed like they were finally going to get to have some fun. But then, in a few brief moments, it had all gone to shit!

“Bitch,” Kell said hatefully to himself. “You evil little bitch. You think this is the end of it? I’ll get you! You just wait and see if I don’t! We’ll pay your mama a visit first, though. Think you can kill my friends and get away with it? Just you wait! Just you WAIT . . . Wait! Wait! Oh, gods, please wait! Please wait! Please, I’m begging you. Wait—”

The ground around Kell had begun to tremble. Dirt and rocks began coalescing and combining until, finally, above him loomed a giant hand connected to a massive arm that rose from the ground like the tip of a mountain.

Kell instinctively understood that the owner of this massive arm served the girl he’d just threatened and cursed. And it had also heard every word he’d said.

“I’m sorry,” he said, so terrified by his predicament that a dumb, dazed smile was now plastered on his face. “I really am sorry,” he repeated. “We weren’t going to hurt her. We just got carried away—NOOOOOOOO, GOD, PLEEEEEEASE—”

Splat!

The giant’s hand came down like an avalanche and landed with full force on Kell’s body as he desperately tried to crawl away, pancaking him instantly.
