Chapter Eight

Midnight Ambush

The faintest of muffled clinks was loud to equine ears. The gentle night breeze carried with it the scents of men, leather, steel, wool, and horses.

Rak slipped into the deeper shadow of the forest, moving each foot only after checking the ground for twigs or dry leaves. He started to sidle between two trees, but stopped and pressed against the larger one’s trunk as a man passed before him. More than a few men were moving through the woods.

The men moved in assumed silence, but the creak of darkened leather armor, the crackle of boots on leaves and twigs, and the faint clink of metal on metal were as loud as a shout to Rak. They had painted their faces and stuffed branches and grasses into their clothes to break up their human outlines. The men looked like professional soldiers, and moved like they had trained together. They bore no insignia on their cloaks or armor that Rak could see.

Soldiers in the woods at night, who have made an effort to camouflage themselves. Somehow I doubt they are here to ask for directions to the palace.

Perhaps they want to invite you to a party? responded Scorth. Rak sensed that his soul mate was already on the move.

The soldiers were trying to surround the camp, but were hampered by the need for stealth and the darkness of the night. Rak had no such disability—the Lord of Night granted to his servants the ability to see in the dark. Rak took a moment to pray, and his efforts were rewarded as clouds obscured the light of the moons. In almost total darkness, the soldiers’ advance slowed to a crawl.

Rak moved with even greater care, working his way through their ranks in search of the commander. A surgical strike at the leadership was often an effective deterrent. If the leaderless men attacked anyhow, it would be an unorganized effort. Rak noticed two men, one of whom was mounted on a dark bay horse. These two were not moving with the rest, but hanging back to give effective commands once the attack began. As Rak drew closer, he heard the unmounted man say, “There are five horses, sir.”

“I don’t think it’l matter,” drawled an average-appearing rider who exuded an air of command. “He could have half the guard with him for al the difference they’d make tonight.”

The leader, Rak identified. I am guessing mercenaries.

So, Scorth asked, you outnumber them, yes? Your one to their fifty?

The avtappi and Morth count as well, protested Rak. But I think that there are more than fifty. It is hard to be certain because of the trees, but I think there are a hundred of them.

A hundred men? For one little prince? Scorth snorted. I am coming, so try to save me a few.

No promises, but I will try. Rak stepped out of concealment as the leader gave the order to attack. A moment later, a foot of bloodied steel erupted from the chest of the horse counter.
