CHAPTER 14

Excoria paced the back room in the dusty, dingy warehouse they had chosen for their base of operations. If her suspicions were correct, then she would have good news to tell Nivla as soon as he arrived.

If he arrived.

He’d better arrive.

She was having second thoughts. Nivla frightened her. He was much older than her thirty years, at least sixty and his eyes were big and buggy. He also sweated a lot, and grunted when he moved. But he was still the second in command, now that Zerod was confined on New Symtaria, and she had to respect him, even if she didn’t like it.

She sucked in a deep breath when she heard someone approaching. Her hand automatically rested on the weapon holstered at her hip. She didn’t relax until the door opened, and Nivla walked inside. She immediately bowed her head, touching the back of her hand to her forehead in respect. “Oh, Great Leader.”

“Excoria, this had better be good.”

She looked up, then regretted meeting his gaze. His cold gray eyes bored into her. She quickly downed her head as fear trembled through her. What if she was wrong? If that were the case, Nivla would make her pay for her mistake.

“Well, are you going to tell me or make me guess?” He walked behind the desk and pulled out the chair, dusting it lightly before sitting.

“I have found Prince Surlock.”

“And the impure. Have you destroyed her?”

“No, Great Leader.”

He clamped his lips together, slapping his gloves on the desk, stirring a small cloud of dust. “Then your mission isn’t complete. Please, tell me exactly why you called me here, and it had better be good.”

“Prince Surlock doesn’t know who he is,” she blurted out.

Silence.

She shifted her weight from one foot to the other.

“Explain,” he said, then mopped the sweat that dampened his face.

“He’s staying with the impure. Today I followed him as he walked down a path to the woods. He made his way through the brush until he came to a clearing. I watched as he seemed to search for something. When he didn’t find what he was looking for, he raised his face toward the sky and called out in a strained voice, ‘Who am I?’ I don’t believe he has his memory.”

“No memory?”

She shook her head. “No, Great Leader.”

Nivla began to tap his fingers on the surface of the desk. Excoria dared to look up. Nivla didn’t look angry. Maybe the news was worthy of his attention.

Nivla laughed. A deep rumbling sound that sent tingles of excitement down her arms. She knew then that she had gained his favor.

“This is exactly the break I’ve been hoping for,” he said.

“We could ransom him for his father’s great wealth,” she eagerly suggested, then wished she’d kept her mouth shut when he turned his stony glare on her.

“It’s more than wealth, you idiot. When we capture Surlock, we can trade him for Zerod’s release. The true leader will rejoin our ranks.”

Great. Excoria would rather have had jewels to drape over her beautiful body.
