My jaw felt like it was already bruising, and with the beginnings of a headache pulsing through my temples I paid our surroundings little heed. I wanted to ask where he was taking me, but dared not speak. Would he take me to Risian? I had given little thought to what might happen, intent only on an audience with Kin, but now with my wrists bound I began to wonder how I would get back – if I would get back at all.

General Ryoji stopped at the sound of footsteps, adjusting his grip on his sword. Three clicks made by a tongue and he relaxed a little, nodding to his companion as he appeared from the trees. ‘Well?’

‘No one is following, General.’

‘Good. Go back and see if you can find Jiori while I take Lady Hana to Kin.’ The captain went to leave, but turned back as General Ryoji added: ‘Go carefully. They know we’re here.’

‘Yes, General.’

He disappeared into the trees like a ghost, but even a ghost stood no chance against Shin. Almost I called the man back, but he was not mine to command.

Together the general and I walked on until shreds of moonlight appeared through the trees. As they touched the general’s feet he quickened his pace, pulling me into a clearing where the moon filled the night sky like a silver coin. In the distance the road cut through the trees, and I knew we had to be near the edge of the forest above Risian.

At the tree line General Ryoji stopped and drew me toward him, pulling the rope like a leash. I looked up into his face as he untied the leather strap, and he tilted his head to get a better look at my jaw. ‘It will bruise up nicely,’ he said with a rueful grin. ‘You’re lucky he didn’t get you front on.’
