Chapter 18

Belloch Storme and Vek Tarosh stood before the Flame of Blackrose. Its heat stung the warts on his face, and he turned to see Tarosh staring at the ancient weapon.

“The plans for the steam engine are in the safe over there,” said Belloch.

“Yes, but I wonder, how did this Canis Rayne kill Kruger? What does he look like? Could you point him out to me?” asked Tarosh.

“He’s got the face of a boy but the body of biggest bastard you ever saw. We broke his leg and threw him into the pit, but he emerged, his leg healed, and tore Kruger’s head from his body.”

“And I hear he took on a Warden? It’s all anyone has to talk about. They think he’s going to be the one to stop the Scourge and the Iron Hands, but if they join forces, they’ll have too much power.”

“Canis has turned on Mortalo, so I don’t think you have to worry about that, but I think he’ll have enough power by himself. If the survivors of the broken Companies flock to him, he’ll be the most powerful Company leader Blackrose has ever seen.”

“You’re right, little man. Ugly, but right. Get me the plans for this steam engine of yours.”

Belloch labored to the safe. His muscles burned with fatigue, and the combinations on the safe looked blurred. Orange light bathed the room, flickering in a random dance that made sleep seem like a good idea. The heat from the Flame of Blackrose caused his burned hand to hurt and it went into spasm. He felt Tarosh’s gaze upon him and fiddled with the strongbox.

I hope Canis kills you and the Scourge.
