Chapter 34

"I want him dead!" Kharn thrust one hand into the chest of the uniformed Cracian, shoving him. The man, captain of the High Guards, flew back from the push, his feet coming off the ground. He struck the wall five feet behind him.

Kharn looked at his hand, turning it over and then clenching and opening it. He seemed to relish what the augmentation process had done for him.

The captain, who had fallen to the floor after hitting the wall, picked himself up. He straightened the coat of his gray uniform. "I will see to it myself."

Kharn, wrapped in his own thoughts and not looking at him, merely tipped his head down slightly in response.

The captain took his leave from the room.

Kharn squeezed his hand into a fist and held it until it shook. "Jake Mudd, how many times must I kill you?"

Lorian, who witnessed the exchange with the captain from his seat in one of two oversized upholstered chairs nearby, spoke up. "He's only one man. Insignificant to our plans."

Kharn directed his attention to Lorian. "One man? My High Guards have been attacked. My base, which sits behind impenetrable mountains, has been infiltrated. As we speak, filthy Waudure rebels run through our corridors."

"A foolish and lucky few. By the day's end, their forces will abandon the mountain assault and return to their stronghold in the Untamed Lands where they belong."

"And do you know who is leading this foolish few, as you call them?"

Lorian shook his head.

"Your precious daughter."

"Nadira? No. She's returned?"

"I had Rekla place a tracker in her. Our sensors picked it up when she got close enough to the base. I was right not to trust her. Your feelings for her blinded you to her true allegiance. She's brought a team here to sabotage the weapon."

"I'll speak with her. I'm sure I can get her to see reason."

"No! You will finish the work. My guards will deal with her and her friends."

"You must let me see her."

"I must? How dare you. I am Crassus Kharn! You live at my pleasure. You will complete the weapon as planned. Then your daughter, along with every one of the Waudure traitors will be wiped from the face of Daedalon." He walked to the window and looked upon the raging battle among the mountains in the distance. "I will have my world. The true Cracians will rise!"

Lorian rose from his seat and watched Kharn take in the flickers of fires and explosions and death on the horizon. Nadira, forgive me.
