Chapter Thirteen

Brahgen had no idea what he had expected to do. The orcs were already gone and he knew for a fact that he wouldn’t be able to help Skharr himself. But something had to be done and he had still been full of his previous success in the cave.

Racing out had seemed like such a good idea before a net closed around him. He hadn't thought about who might have set the trap that caught his companion before he acted. Although perhaps that wouldn't have made much of a difference given that they had traps both within and without the tunnel.

All he knew was that a net had been thrown over his head and he now struggled to reach the dagger at his waist.

There was movement all around him, and he thought for a moment that the lizardfolk were attacking, even though they were no longer under the control of the dead hags.

But the sight of weapons and armor around him told him unequivocally that all was not well, and the primitive reptile creatures had certainly not arranged the traps that caught both him and Skharr.

He began to hack at the mesh around him and even managed to pull it away from where it restricted his movement. Moments later, he felt a rush of elation when he escaped it entirely and crawled out from under it, but he realized he was still surrounded by a group of humans, all with their weapons trained on him.

"Drop the weapon!" one of them shouted. He was the only one not wearing his helm and the dwarf wondered if his long, golden locks were the reason.

"Come and take it!" Brahgen snapped in return as two sword-wielding mercenaries advanced on him.

He lunged forward, ducked under one of the swords, and slashed an attacker's arm. Any thoughts that he was in a position to win the fight were put to rest, however, when pain seared across his leg. He looked down and grimaced when he realized that one of the swords had opened a shallow gash in his thigh, and it was quickly followed by a rapid blow across the jaw with the pommel of the second man’s weapon.

Almost before he could blink, Brahgen was on the ground with the dagger forced from his fingers before his hands were yanked roughly behind his back.

What did surprise him was that once his hands were bound, one of the men approached with what was clearly a healing potion and dabbed it lightly over the wound. It stung like he was being attacked by a dozen bees, but as he twisted to see what was happening, the gash began to heal quickly and left only a splotch of bright pink skin.

"What…what are you doing?"

The golden-haired mercenary chuckled and lowered onto his haunches next to the dwarf. "We need to make sure our product arrives alive. There’s no point in you developing an infection and dying along the way before we deliver you."

"Deliver me to who?"

The man ignored his question and looked at the rest of the men.
