The Look of Hatred
Nierwae’s prominent brows drew together as he looked from Disseus to Nim. Before he said in an almost whining voice. “She’s mine...”
“Look at her.” Disseus ordered. Releasing her hand, he stepped aside so Nierwae could fully take in the sight of her rigid stance and contempt-filled eyes.
“She doesn’t appear broken.” Disseus mocked. “Nor does she appear to have missed you.”
“That-” He took a step toward the demon and turned to point at her with the shining sword tip. “Is hatred on her face. If you’d known a thing about her, you’d have known that.”
I ought to know.
Her cold stare was unflinching.
With an enraged snarl, Nierwae charged down the steps at her. Losing all remnant of control over his emotions.
Swords belonging to Disseus and Styx, crossed before her. Barring the Demon King’s path.
Styx stepped forward to shove the demon back, before Disseus could.
He’s fast. Disseus noticed.

No! Disseus paused. His head shooting up like a startled buck. “Nim!” Nierwae had returned to the throne and taken the massive seat to watch the scene avidly. An evil smirk turning his lips. “We’ll see who has her now?” Seeing his Firoque blade stuck in her had not taken her off her feet, he announced. “I’ve changed my mind. Save the pretty little ruby for my hands. I’ll make her pay for her misplaced loyalties...” He was giving Disseus a challenging look. “Save her now, Harbinger…” “I’ll kill them all.” Nim warned. Cradling her injured shoulder around the blade. That sent fear shooting through Disseus. Knowing her determination he was sure she wouldn’t stop until she was dead. He wasn’t about to let her die alone. She’ll never be alone again. “With one arm?” Nierwae asked her, doubtfully. Laughing coldly, he gave a dismissive gesture. “You’ll soon grow weary my delicate.” Another Firoq
The Price of Vengeance Can You Do It?
Firoque screamed and writhed. Littering the floor as they lay dying. For the first time Nierwae could recall, he felt the prickling of fear. He’d never seen anything that moved like this Dark Harbinger. Only when Disseus stood at the foot of the vaulting steps, did Nierwae rise. “You think to fight me, Boy?” Nierwae took one lumbering step down. His thighs as wide as tree trunks. And towering three feet over Disseus’s own height. His shoulders at least twice as broad. He's a mammoth of a man. Disseus' eyes narrowed. Noting scars on the man's knees. And one ankle where a bit of bone was displaced. Weak points. “I think to kill you Firoque. It’s what I do.” “Unless you wish to let us leave peacefully.” Lon cut in desperately, from where he ducked several blades and panted heavily. Flushed nearly purple from his efforts. Nierwae shook his head. “Feral don’t!” Nealinim shouted in terror. “We can leave. Get
The Price of Vengeance A Damn Demon
“Now!” Disseus roared. So, commandingly that Styx nodded. Finally climbing up. Kicking a few of the Cimmerii rodents off his legs to get up. great weight was already bearing her down. Making her duck lower on weary legs. “Go!” Disseus fought the demons back in a ring around her, trying to give her room. Running ahead far enough to make a path for her. She stumbled across the bailey, attempting to get enough momentum to go up. As she launched into the air, Disseus followed. Catching her foot and sheathing his sword to hang onto her claw with both hands. Waiting until the last moment to add his weight to the nearly unbearable mix. Cimmerii surged after them in a wave. Piling atop each other as they strained to reach Disseus’s swinging feet. But they weren’t quite able to touch them. All Nierwae could do was stand in the bailey shrieking furiously. He watched Nim take to the air over the bailey wall. Disseus stared down at him. Swinging t
The Price of Vengeance I Don't Want to Do This
Disseus swallowed. Nodding. Knowing he had no choice but to trust him. “Where are we going?” Lon asked. “The cottage.” It’s the nearest structure safe enough to evade the Cimmerii that will soon be searching for us. For her. He mentally corrected. “That’s at least two day’s ride.” Lon objected. I know. Disseus shot her a worried look. I’m not sure she can make it either. But what choice do we have? Take the horses.” He ordered with more confidence than he had. “The farther you can get, the safer you’ll be.” “But what about-” Almora started. “We’ll be fine. Go!” Disseus cut her off. Knowing that he couldn’t put Nim on a horse. If they’re not with us, they can get out of reach of the Cimmerii and less of them I have to protect if they do catch up to she and I. “Are you certain?” Lon shifted anxiously. “I can’t protect you and her
The Price of Vengeance What Light
He cursed himself for six kinds of a fool. Focusing on the now, he swept his hair back from his face, and checked her body for further injuries. She woke briefly when he turned her onto her opposite side to see if the dagger had gone clean through. It hadn’t. As he rolled her flat again, he noticed her eyelids fluttering. Her gaze focused on him. He met it steadily. Looking rather pale himself. “You certain this is what you want?” I do not want to do this. “The faster it’s out, the faster I can heal.” She kept saying that. His only thought was. If it doesn’t kill you in the process. “Do it.” She urged. Shaking his head worriedly, he drew an unsteady breath. Putting his palm flat on her chest, just below her collar to hold her in place, he applied his weight there. Steadying her body against hershivering. He grabbed the crude metal handle.
The Price of Vengeance Keep Her
Watching her in pain was unbearable. He suffered with her. Every hour her agony dragged on, he regretted more and more how he’d treated her. I might’ve built a bond with her again. If only I’d been kinder...Perhaps they could’ve spent these last few nights warm in each other’s arms rather than sick with resentment and old bitterness. Or restless beneath a barrage of tortured memories. He wondered if she had been too. Or was it always just me? There were so many torturous ‘what ifs’. Instead of all I could’ve done, I actively kept ourdissension alive. He was very aware that chastising himself now was not going to help her heal. It was only increasing his fears. But he’d refrained from considering all these things for so long that now he couldn’t help it. They washed over him in an endless flood. And to what end? He remembered her secret talk with
The Price of Vengeance I'm Real
“I feel like myself.” She argued his rationale as she caught his large hand. Pressing it over her body. Letting him feel every gentle swell and smooth plane of her flesh. Blinking wide eyes, she asked. “Don’t I?” Good god, Woman. His lips parted. As the past and present blurred painfully. He wanted this moment with her. He wanted to relive it again. His hand seemed to wander of its own volition, even after she stopped guiding it. Memorializing every curve of her. Damn her! Choking a little, he retracted his hand and set her back from him. Seeing her creamy body shining in the blue lights from the water. Her darkly tipped breasts propped on her elbow. Their delicious crests begging to be nipped. His cock was getting rigid beneath his pants. Not now. “Nim.” He urged. Ignoring his own, predictable reaction. “We’re not there anymore.” His voice was harder. As he tried to co
The Price of Vengeance An Arrival
Their darkly skinned bodies were frail and knobby but tall enough to be terrifying. Their skin was leathery and dry, and their jaws opened too far back into their skull. Allowing them the ability to fit a grown man’s head between them. To crush it. Styx could hear the dog’s occasional whine and sometimes the rattle of a cracking branch. They rode on. Trying to appear calm. Styx fell back a few steps to walk behind the horses. Guarding their backs. “Almora?” Lon broke the extended silence. Taking the opportunity of some privacy to chat with her. “Yes?” “Promise me something?” “Of course.” She waited for him to explain. “If they attack. You won’t interfere. You’ll just get away.” “Lonnix!” She cried appalled. “I don’t want you hurt. You said you’d promise!” “But-” “This may be my last request. The last thing I ask of you...” Drawing a shaky breath, she gave a reluctant nod.
