Urim

Urim had been awake before dawn, and now he paced the courtyard of his mother’s keep. Durz appeared, limping slightly, but with a determined set to his jaw. Brother Aldus, despite his hard looks, stood aside while Durz mounted the horse that was brought for him.

The mage handed Urim a folded piece of parchment sealed with a fresh blob of red wax. “I have done what I can, but the stubborn orc would not lie still unless I drugged him. And even then, it did not last long.” Durz chuckled, and Brother Aldus frowned at him. “If he survives the journey, see that this is given to the apothecary at Medober. He will tend to Durz’s wounds. As much as he can.”

Urim patted the man’s cheek. “Be of good cheer, mage. I’ll see that the man doesn’t come apart at the seams while we ride.”

Brother Aldus snorted and crossed his arms over his chest. “See that you do.”

“He is in a sour mood this morning,” Durz observed as Urim mounted his own horse and pulled up beside him.

“Don’t worry about it. He’ll remember his humor by the time we return with the lord’s blessing and men behind us.”

Taymor mounted his horse and spurred it forward. “The messengers your mother sent out have brought men in from the surrounds. We ride with a company. Dharro Golor will have no choice but to listen to reason.”

Urim nodded, but his mind was elsewhere. Rado should have returned with his wayward wife by now.

Taymor clapped Urim on the back. “Rado will meet us at Medober. I cannot see your wife going quietly.”

Urim chuckled. “She’ll give him trouble, of that I have no doubt.”

His commander grinned. “I hope for his sake that he’s strong enough to handle it.”

Urim tightened his grip on the reins and pressed his heels into his horse’s flanks. As they rode through the gates, he looked back to see his mother standing in the courtyard with her hand raised in farewell. They would return soon enough, and with any luck, they would return with the lord’s men behind them.
