Chapter Sixteen

The Royal Guard moved in unison under the command of Robin and their King, but they were exhausted. None of them had slept the night before because after the battle, Julian had ordered an immediate departure. They had travelled west throughout the night and all the next day with hardly a rest. By nightfall Robin strongly urged Julian to consider a chance for them to make camp. He argued that the Dunarians were going nowhere and that the Royal Guard needed to be rested up for any possible confrontation that might arise whenever they reached Jekyll Rock.

Julian gave in, realizing the man’s logic. What was he doing anyway? He couldn’t figure his own mind. Was he going to arrest the council members? Would he kill them on the spot? He knew he couldn’t do that. There had been so much killing already. This would be done properly. They would be executed for their crimes, but not in secret and not on Dunarian soil. He would take them to Farlaweer. There they would be hanged in front of the entire kingdom. Any Human to take the side of the evil Stühocs would suffer the same fate. Death. Every time he thought about what he saw in the memory orb it just made him angrier. The fact that he had been used by the scoundrels to do their bidding was embarrassing to him. Kaden and Nalani had been used too. Even though Kaden had been their official leader, Holden somehow led the others against him in secret. The council as a whole was corrupt, and they were trying to gather all the medallions to use on Marenon’s Map below Jekyll Rock. With all of the medallions, they would be an unstoppable force that could crush an enemy without the need to recruit soldiers. And the map would be used to gain power instead of ridding the world of an evil enemy.

Julian knew that once they had their hands on all of the medallions, they would go after him first. He assumed that whoever led the four council members now would want to be the next king. That king would use the Erellens as a footstool and the Stühocs would become the slaves. Humanity wouldn’t be free either. They would be under the rule of a tyrant that would desire nothing but divine power. No one would be truly free.

The greatest enemy here was difficult to pinpoint. He obviously knew that the four who were left on the council were the enemies, but who led them? Was it Darius? He was a magnificent fighter and a great potential leader, but Julian couldn’t see him as a tyrannical king. Yet, he wouldn’t imagine Darius to so blatantly betray the Dunarians either, but Julian knew what he had seen in the memory orb.

While they set up camp, he pulled his old green wristband out from the saddlebag. Right now, it was more of a symbol to him than it was an actual useful object. With it he could contact any council member that also carried one.
