CHAPTER SEVEN

A gentle tap at the door warned the occupants that the time they had been waiting for had arrived. It was time to meet the Council.

Tayme had woken not long before the soft knock and he had no idea how long he had slept for. He now sat up in bed, using the wall as a backrest and had been busy trying to wake Trar so he could have someone to talk to. A few bunks down, Kalena was just beginning to stir under her blankets. He caught himself watching her and quickly turned away. Hauga must have mentally woken her. Unable to stop himself, Tayme’s gaze slipped again to Kalena’s bed and his eyes hungrily drunk in the sight of her. Every time he looked at her, his feelings swirled around as if caught in a maelstrom. And when she went missing it was as if someone had cut his heart out and threw it in the mud. But now she was back, and Tayme knew that he was never going to let her out of his sight again. He loved her, had always loved her. Now, if only Kalena could remember him and what they once had… Tayme pulled his gaze away again. It did no good to torment himself. She had broken it off because as Hatar Kalar, they had no guaranteed future together. But now things had changed.

Hauga and Raga sat quietly together at the table. Hanton sat with them, the tracker was drawing on the table with a piece of charcoal with either Hauga or Raga making corrections. Hopefully, the stuff will wash off. The Pydarki might not take too kindly to their guests damaging their tables.

The rest of the Suenese were still asleep. Since Hanton was occupied it was up to him to wake Lieutenant Peana. Tayme sighed and swung his legs off of the bed. Luckily he had his shoes on otherwise his bare feet would feel the shock of the freezing cold floor seep through to the bone.

Moving around to the next occupied bed, Tayme bent to gently place a hand on the Lieutenants shoulder.

“Lieutenant Peana? Lieutenant?”

The Lieutenant’s eyes sprang open before Tayme had to shake him.

“Lieutenant, there is someone at the door.”

Peana looked up at him and then gave a nod. Tayme stepped back to give the man room to get up.

“Go get the door and see what they want.”

“Yes, Lieutenant.”

Tayme rose and let himself have a bit of a stretch as he walked across the room to open the door. Outside stood two young Pydarki. Both gave him a slight bow before the taller of the two spoke.

“The council is gathering. They will give you a short while to prepare and make yourself presentable. One of us will be back to escort you.”

Tayme gave them a brief nod as he replied.

“Thank you. We will be waiting.” He then politely closed the door and turned back to the room.

“We’d best get prepared. They’ll be ready for us soon.”

“Right then. Let’s get to it,” Peana said as he slid out of his bunk.
