Faine dismounted and approached the man calling himself Azure Snake. “My lord has asked you to stand aside and by not honoring his request, you have shown him disrespect, because of this, you will suffer.”
“You hear that boys. We’re going to suffer.“ Nervous laughter broke out from the gang members. Without warning the man with the eyepatch swung his fist at Faine but he grabbed the man’s hand, forcing him to drop to his knees. Groaning, the bandit demanded his release.
“Oh, you wish for me to let you go. Why should I when you showed such disrespect toward my lord?” He continued applying pressure until breaking the man’s hand.

“No. It happened many years ago when I underwent the last ceremony for the Awakening that Vilgoth seized control. I have never used the Awakening except in a life-threatening situation and I am certain I could have handled that assassin without its use, but he somehow forced his way out, even after the precautions I took to prevent such an occurrence from happening again. My only explanation is that, perhaps, as I grow stronger, he does as well. Nevertheless, Sir Faine, we ride to the forest of Catahclisum.”

Morning came with them breaking camp, continuing toward the massive forest, pushing their mounts hard for several more hours, until the blue sky suddenly turned dark, an indication that the forest of Catahclisum was near, and off on the horizon, …show more content…

“Yes my lord,“ and whistling loudly, signaled Lord Persius and the rest of the men who immediately filed out from the shadows, spreading out and forcing the woman in red back to the man she had just left.
“I will be taking that demon soul and any others that you have procured,” demanded Nightburn.
The lady in red spoke to her acquaintance. “Run, get the demon souls out of here. I will deal with him.”
Seeing the man run down the row of tents and dart into the forest, Nightburn yelled, “Faine, go after the demon souls and bring them back to me. Failure is not an option.”
“Yes my lord,” and he ran off after the man.
