Sucinord slowed down to a fast walk. He had taken a rout across the river below the bridge leading into Brittany. Now he was well below the normal routes that people traveled. He did not want to run into anyone, and have to explain or kill them because he carried this girl. Not that he would care at all for those he killed, but he did not want any delay in achieving his goal. A warning went off in Sucinord’s circuits that he was taxing the servo motors again. He would need to stop and let them cool for a while. The girl was still unconscious, but breathing evenly. He did not know how much damage he had done to her, but guessed by the fierceness of her attack it was not much. This girl was resilient, and would recover fully he believed. He almost laughed at that thought, recover for what? So she could be executed by Razcon? He knew that bringing this girl to Razcon would be a special prize. Their deaths would bring Razcon satisfaction, but to see her die would mean more to the cruel monarch. They were much alike, Sucinord and Razcon. Both had a lust for blood and power.

They reached a tree in the grasslands and Sucinord stopped there. He deposited the girl under the tree in the shade and waited. His motors were almost cool enough to continue his journey when the girl began to moan and stir. He did not know which girl he had taken, only that she bore the ring the king of the Sabatols wanted as proof of their destruction. Instinctively Sucinord reached out and took the ring off of Brianna’s hand and put it in his pocket for safe keeping. Brianna opened her eyes and the fear returned.

“Where are my mother and sister?” Brianna asked curtly.

“They are dead,” was all Sucinord offered.

“Then why did you not kill me?”

Sucinord smiled wickedly, “I wish to deliver you to Razcon personally for his enjoyment.”

“You might as well kill me now, for that is exactly what Razcon will do with me.”

Sucinord smiled again, “I think it will be much worse than that for you. I have met this cousin of yours and I believe he will be cruel to you before he kills you. I have an interest in such things and wish to watch.”

Brianna cringed, she did not want to be delivered to her cousin. He would most likely torture her and then kill her for all the trouble she had caused him.

“What if I refuse to go with you peacefully?”

“You will come with me peacefully or not. If I have to strike you hard until you are immobile again I will do so, it makes no difference to me.”

Brianna believed he meant what he said, so she did not offer any resistance when he walked over to her and picked her up in his arms. It wasn’t until that moment she even considered where she was or how she had gotten there.
