Chapter Fifteen–Meeting Puppets

Reshan Varcress, a prince of Sheyestiva and her secret eyes, wove his way through the crowded street of Ronair. He smiled to himself. He had done his good deed of the day by helping that young woman back in that alley. There had been something about her that had drawn his attention even though he had been up on the High Road at the time to avoid the crowds. He hadn’t known what exactly it was that drew his attention to Terana, if he had heard her companions correctly. Her red hair helped her stick out in a crowd, but the older red head hadn’t caught his attention as she had. Perhaps it had been her compassion to the old man? Reshan knew it wasn’t because he was attracted to her, though she was pretty, especially with those silver-blue eyes of hers.

“Hey pretty thing, what’cha doing‘ere all alone?” one of the attackers had said to her and for whatever the reason it had roused something in Reshan. He had needed to protect her like she was the younger sister he didn’t have. Along with that need to protect, Reshan couldn’t abide the fact that compassion was going to be rewarded with a brutal attack. It was just wrong.

So he had done his good deed of the day. Now he had to complete his mission. Perhaps the whole episode had been a balancing act for him. He had saved the woman from a bunch of thugs and now he was continuing his mission to set up the invasion of her homeland. Perhaps not quite on the same level, but it was something, right? His mission was to find a sorceress whom his brother had said would make a good puppet. Which meant that she was ideal for placing a telecy root in. She was only one such puppet the Sheyestivans were establishing.
