Chapter 35
Vander wasn’t surprised to see the107Please respect copyright.PENANAPHfJ6piVzd
Serpents here tonight. Like Alex, they had probably followed him once he was107Please respect copyright.PENANAocfFYVsdXn
spotted going back to the safe house they had used. He would be lying if he107Please respect copyright.PENANAVNI99Qf4OD
hadn’t said it was part of his plan, but he didn’t expect the ambush to happen107Please respect copyright.PENANAcHIijMbVdF
down here. He was unprepared and without a weapon, the closest one was several107Please respect copyright.PENANAz0E6xUlVZd
feet away so he doubted that they would give him time to grab it. However, if107Please respect copyright.PENANAA55YPurmXs
he did nothing he would die so, he moved.
He rushed towards the sword his107Please respect copyright.PENANApmRo21ktqU
previous opponent had used. A serpent stepped into his path swinging a sword107Please respect copyright.PENANAKq547KMiVP
aimed to take off his head. Vander grabbed some loose rocks from the ground107Please respect copyright.PENANAGubTKQM4Tw
then threw it at the person. One of the rocks hit the sword causing it to go107Please respect copyright.PENANA9UbaXIWbr9
slightly off while the other wacked the serpent standing behind him. The mask107Please respect copyright.PENANAZmr1NHIsnZ
absorbed the blow because the serpent didn’t even flinch.
Despite the quick thinking, he107Please respect copyright.PENANAmOBLpDUdtO
couldn’t block the sword from cutting him, but instead of taking off his head107Please respect copyright.PENANAEV71d78kK8
it only cut his shoulder. Biting back the pain as the blood started to flow, he107Please respect copyright.PENANAgn1TdxpJ6m
tackled the serpent around the waist knocking them both to the ground. Before107Please respect copyright.PENANAcVsGJnMFBB
he could do anything, however, the third rushed forward trying to cut his neck.107Please respect copyright.PENANA7rPuHfr15X
Vander bent backwards to avoid the blow, but in the process was knocked off of107Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Cs81004b
the Serpent.
Unlike the others he had fought,107Please respect copyright.PENANAJKbcAL2Etk
these two seemed to do well as a team. When one went down, the others were107Please respect copyright.PENANAqrT6agO0r0
always there to cover them. It was slowly becoming a pain and he couldn’t rely107Please respect copyright.PENANASufOzBbvee
on help from anyone else since they were all busy trying to escape before they107Please respect copyright.PENANA1OlYdAjwDu
were killed as well. He could hear Alex calling for him, but he was nowhere to107Please respect copyright.PENANAb9eMv4AY0I
be seen. Vander was on his own. Or was he?
He closed his eyes then reached107Please respect copyright.PENANAlP9WpVa3zX
deep into himself. He could hear his inner demon laughing at him, taunting him107Please respect copyright.PENANAdO35p7rlI5
for even needing his help despite constantly shoving him away. Vander argued107Please respect copyright.PENANAJIpQ9oULTi
with him saying that if he died, then they would both die and he wouldn’t get107Please respect copyright.PENANAZspeRVLImS
what he wanted: his freedom. The demon was quiet for a moment, but Vander could107Please respect copyright.PENANAy9Rhxe1rPv
feel that once given freedom it would be trouble trying to get it back, but he107Please respect copyright.PENANAEdidaJ0bKk
was out of options. They needed each other to survive.
Power flooded through his body as107Please respect copyright.PENANAVgWdaIHMIC
he felt the demon’s consciousness flow to the forefront. However, it didn’t107Please respect copyright.PENANA756Hbc3neX
feel as bad as he thought it would. All of his senses were heightened, he could107Please respect copyright.PENANAZGXBMnjHh9
feel everything around him. His body was also overflowing with power, and he107Please respect copyright.PENANA5qAqSMKVi3
knew that he could take the Serpents, even without a weapon. It was time for107Please respect copyright.PENANAy5TUIweN6p
the demon to show that he was more than just talk.
The demon lunged forward grabbing107Please respect copyright.PENANASbfNP5d68C
one of the Serpents by the neck before the others could react. The two of them107Please respect copyright.PENANAMmsv68vs0V
vaulted forward slamming into the backwall. He felt the man’s bones crack under107Please respect copyright.PENANAEAIwtY1fsN
the blow, but the demon tore the serpent’s throat out with elongated claws. He107Please respect copyright.PENANAQYOl8xsooq
fell to his knees gurgling blood but one kick from Vander’s leg put them out of107Please respect copyright.PENANArodcSOBTjd
their misery. Vander’s body turned to see the other two rushing towards him107Please respect copyright.PENANAPFz7lUre8N
with swords swinging towards him. He brought his hands up to block the strike107Please respect copyright.PENANAYu46SknnTu
and he thought the swords would just cut right through, but they didn’t. Thick107Please respect copyright.PENANA7PSiSI3bWH
armor plates sprouted on his arms to protect him.
The serpents must not have107Please respect copyright.PENANAwXxOaJCGBD
expected it either because for a brief second, they paused and that was enough107Please respect copyright.PENANALDdRuhlbvh
for the demon to go on the offensive. He reached across, grabbed both swords,107Please respect copyright.PENANAvdZtatoBEp
then shattered them with his bare hands. As shards of metal rained down around107Please respect copyright.PENANAkxX6poOmc3
them, the demon took the few that were in his hands then shoved them into one serpent’s107Please respect copyright.PENANAfRGn9aflJ7
face causing them to cry out and drop to their knees. The other serpents107Please respect copyright.PENANAR5opCjdqhg
grabbed his friend then jumped away from Vander.
The demon grinned, Vander could107Please respect copyright.PENANAWRuybO9vNJ
feel his joy through their bond. He could have killed the last two without107Please respect copyright.PENANASeTSh5FGSE
breaking a sweat, but he enjoyed making them suffer. He was a predator just107Please respect copyright.PENANAW6CiVfhYRH
toying with his food believing that their fear and despair would make the meat107Please respect copyright.PENANAyQdQqKg3jW
taste all the sweeter. The two of them walked towards the wounded Serpent.107Please respect copyright.PENANAvELHN5qIm0
Vander could feel them tense, but they looked at one another and got to their107Please respect copyright.PENANAdQIp0rUoQW
feet. Vander had the vaguest thought that they were biding their time. Normally107Please respect copyright.PENANAuqIW9ivYIC
they would have run away, living to fight another day, but here they were107Please respect copyright.PENANAOoWCN16hDW
making a stand. Something was wrong. Vander tried to tell the demon, but he107Please respect copyright.PENANAx5g5G1v88V
didn’t want to listen. If anything, it amped him up even more.
He ran forward, his fingers107Please respect copyright.PENANACpFajaXBcl
becoming talons once again. The uninjured Serpent dodged to the side while the107Please respect copyright.PENANAR7CI8spS9o
other got to his feet. The demon shoved his talons into the serpent’s chest107Please respect copyright.PENANAUeejKYykLZ
causing them to stick out the back. Vander could feel the blood sticking to his107Please respect copyright.PENANAg86ydRKsRr
fingers as it dripped into the sands. However, the biggest surprise was that107Please respect copyright.PENANAAtmN3a7Rlg
the Serpent wasn’t dead yet. Grinning as blood poured from his mouth, the107Please respect copyright.PENANAp4xvqpc4qu
Serpent grabbed them in a backbreaking hug. Vander could see the triumph107Please respect copyright.PENANAXmhIV9L72Y
shining in the man’s eyes as he heard a cry coming from behind him.
Vander felt nothing but pain as a107Please respect copyright.PENANAozBqCrftqf
sword was shoved through his back and into the serpent he was in front of. The107Please respect copyright.PENANAx0ZTDKtoTc
Serpent died with a smile on his face while both Vander and the demon screamed107Please respect copyright.PENANA1edJG8MKyQ
in pain. He couldn’t get the other serpent from himself to escape because both107Please respect copyright.PENANADbf1cZmiHV
were stuck together. The demon reached for the other behind him, but he jumped107Please respect copyright.PENANAkChoFS2IIG
out of the way. He snarled a challenge, but the serpent did the smart thing,107Please respect copyright.PENANATPczIBcYKW
not rising to the bait. However, despite the dire circumstance, Vander still107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1TQcMO7Zw
felt no fear from the demon, just amusement. He found out why a moment later.
The demon grabbed the sword hilt107Please respect copyright.PENANAf2fTYPSlw5
and slowly pulled it out of their back. The pain was intense, but as it107Please respect copyright.PENANAsAzXHO6ngw
withdrew the pain gradually disappeared. Vander could feel the wound start to107Please respect copyright.PENANAcmhuoGX8cq
heal as the sword disappeared. The other serpent fell to the ground, still107Please respect copyright.PENANAnJnIxoDHGs
smiling, as if not aware in death that his sacrifice had been in vain.
“You’re a monster.” The other107Please respect copyright.PENANAWsYs2CIrtI
serpent blanched as he stared at Vander’s body healing away the damage.
“You’re just learning that now?”107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3xEX7y3um
The demon’s voice was low and gravelly. However, it echoed through the arena.107Please respect copyright.PENANAhXtTOq7EOZ
“I’ve been alive for centuries, praying on weak fools like you. I found against107Please respect copyright.PENANAtT43Dr42GR
the gods and lived. These wounds are nothing compared to the torment I have107Please respect copyright.PENANANZlW7CH1Tq
felt since the dawn of my life. What makes you think you could do anything to107Please respect copyright.PENANAKEWVmTN9to
me?” The demon walked over, grabbed the Serpent’s head and, with a smile,107Please respect copyright.PENANAIZbBQb8MQv
ripped his head clean off. The headless body spurted blood all over Vander as107Please respect copyright.PENANAOM2ikehrIN
the demon screamed in triumph clutching the severed head as his trophy.107Please respect copyright.PENANA8VVEtC0lnK
“Delicious,” he sighed running his tongue over his bloodied face. “I forgot how107Please respect copyright.PENANAeb2XIHxi1H
good you human’s tasted.” If Vander had been in control of his body, he would107Please respect copyright.PENANAYXp9XRQRoR
have puked.
The two of them instinctively107Please respect copyright.PENANAcezNjskDhq
looked towards the stands as they had felt a terrifying presence enter their107Please respect copyright.PENANAi3XZXNJeTk
space. It was someone Vander knew, and it felt familiar, almost like a long-lost107Please respect copyright.PENANAcNkwDhCgtj
brother. He looked up see pale yellow eyes staring down at him from a hooded107Please respect copyright.PENANA1vpzwfOltB
man wearing light green armor. Fear traveled through the demon as he stared at107Please respect copyright.PENANANrAzkvUM1S
the assassin. One name flashed in his mind: Aubum. This was the assassin he had107Please respect copyright.PENANAL9bNFwTLcp
met when he had been with Malcolm: Draken.
Draken dropped to the ground107Please respect copyright.PENANAHBkZV6jBtS
barely kicking up any dirt as he landed. Vander froze as the assassin walked107Please respect copyright.PENANAY0TtP54CX8
towards him. If he had worked for Malcolm, there was a chance he was coming for107Please respect copyright.PENANAwZsZqeiwOP
revenge, but based on his demeanor Vander didn’t think that was right. Draken107Please respect copyright.PENANAiNzsxur1Om
stopped next to him then whispered something that caused Vander to freeze. The107Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZmmsR8TPI
demon spat out a response but went back into Vander’s body. He was suddenly107Please respect copyright.PENANAeNd4gjJ5Vc
locked back into control. They sudden shift caused him to stumble forwards. Draken107Please respect copyright.PENANAxcG33XnKj0
took a step back then disappeared into thin air.
“The soldiers are here!” Vander107Please respect copyright.PENANAh9aA7nVm6y
looked up as one of Ross’s people started screaming. Moments later Vander heard107Please respect copyright.PENANAeP9RRIaCJC
the door being kicked down.
“Vander!” Alexander shouted. He107Please respect copyright.PENANAnipdwzxV20
looked up to his friend looking frantically for him. The door was launched off107Please respect copyright.PENANANo1TEM48Vh
its hinges as soldiers and Blades rushed into the room. Vander could hear them107Please respect copyright.PENANAdIUMhaxi8Q
screaming for people to get on the floor. He looked towards Ross but saw that107Please respect copyright.PENANAPquGzDWYMp
he was already gone. He looked around for some place to escape, but only saw107Please respect copyright.PENANAKHfUvdopHJ
the tunnel where his opponent had entered from. Seeing no other way, he headed107Please respect copyright.PENANAT3obeu3FUs
towards the dark.
The tunnel smells like dirt,107Please respect copyright.PENANAvqItmGlJQK
sweat, and blood. This must have been where the injured were taken to either be107Please respect copyright.PENANAO7YcnIAfLG
disposed of if they were too far gone or patched up. There are separate rooms107Please respect copyright.PENANA97IABuagHx
filled with weapons, a sparring room, and a room with several beds. It seemed107Please respect copyright.PENANAgl5F95nnA9
more like a gladiator arena from centuries past than a fighting ring, but then107Please respect copyright.PENANAsRQqrFySd4
again Ross had a flair for the dramatics.
There was no one down there, which107Please respect copyright.PENANADobYM5CQm0
was strange. Usually, it would be packed with people waiting for their turn to107Please respect copyright.PENANAbOA3Gh4Bvy
fight, but it was a ghost town. It made him wonder if Ross knew that the107Please respect copyright.PENANALtKwcFG9P4
military was coming for him, so he made sure that he was long gone before they107Please respect copyright.PENANACYHYtOMEvA
arrived.
Vander walked107Please respect copyright.PENANALMoOXTyjl7
towards the room in the darkest corner where he knew Draken was waiting for107Please respect copyright.PENANAtsxZQV1jYR
him. He could smell the chill of death coming from inside. He was right where107Please respect copyright.PENANAYNuzEqfm84
he said he would be.
“You can’t keep running forever.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAa9mAPLci2n
Draken stepped out from the shadows. “Eventually you will have to clear your107Please respect copyright.PENANAb6N6zcQc40
name and fight against those who wish to harm this country.”
“When I don’t know who to trust,107Please respect copyright.PENANAFJOvM41OkS
my life is constantly in jeopardy.” Vander sat down on a bench. “There are107Please respect copyright.PENANANJHjI1x1dX
those who would love nothing more to stab me in the back. What else can I do to107Please respect copyright.PENANAj8yjluu6bn
make sure I stay safe?”
“Learn to trust those around you.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAIyOYQsSSPy
Draken said. “Malcolm trusted you, Cuvera trusts you, and you have the trust of107Please respect copyright.PENANAkeJhYoE4q0
the Blades. It’s time you started trusting them. You cannot find the answers107Please respect copyright.PENANAGesNV7EPBv
you seek by hiding.”
Vander knew that he was speaking107Please respect copyright.PENANAb2BILWdHcD
the truth. There was nothing he could do now, he was trapped. Only two options107Please respect copyright.PENANAV4TyyYNscg
lie ahead of him: fight and die or turn himself in and have a chance. He slowly107Please respect copyright.PENANAT8HgD5DZqr
nodded his head.
“There is a book in my room.” He107Please respect copyright.PENANA6cWKKK7oKA
spoke. “A book that Peyton killed the King to get. Make sure he doesn’t get his107Please respect copyright.PENANAY1HQyFTkyC
hands on it.”
“Do you know what’s in it?”
“A description of the Gods,” he107Please respect copyright.PENANAc03KlaDkGn
explained. “Other than that, I am not sure. I only looked at it once.”
“I will keep it safe.” Draken went107Please respect copyright.PENANAFhRzX1SHjm
to leave, but Vander grabbed his arm. He pulled a necklace from around his neck107Please respect copyright.PENANAInLFzrVQgY
then handed it to him. It was a long white tooth, a trophy taken from the107Please respect copyright.PENANA12QPC2yKQI
Shadow Beast he had killed. “Tell Shea that I will return for her.” Draken took107Please respect copyright.PENANACuAUD6xAc7
the tooth, nodded, then disappeared.
Vander gave himself a few minutes107Please respect copyright.PENANAPTMMbLsJCP
before getting off the bench. He walked back up the ramp where he could hear107Please respect copyright.PENANAClkCTG5U3T
the soldiers interrogating any of the patrons, they could get their hands on.107Please respect copyright.PENANAnB9AiT002B
Some were being rough, punching or kicking those who wouldn’t answer their107Please respect copyright.PENANABG1kzlivS4
questions.
“Where is Vander?” He heard Leon’s107Please respect copyright.PENANAYWYY68RRf2
voice ring out over the shouted. It was followed by a thud then a scream. It107Please respect copyright.PENANANJ0DhWGCeR
sounded like Alexander. Enraged, Vander burst out of the tunnel. The guards107Please respect copyright.PENANAAQu7vNynQ2
around the entrance were too startled to do anything as he raced towards Leon.107Please respect copyright.PENANADPrVEkefiq
Alex was being held by two other guards as Leon punched Alex repeatedly in the107Please respect copyright.PENANAlnR1yPXcEq
face. No said a word as Vander grabbed Leon’s shoulder then, as he turned107Please respect copyright.PENANANYTcLIhBnQ
around, clocked him in the jaw.
Alex freed himself by bringing his107Please respect copyright.PENANANXS2c8TjhS
head back against the nose of one of the Blades that held him before throwing107Please respect copyright.PENANAtXpkCDmT1G
the other on the ground. Leon scrambled to his feet drawing his sword.
“Kill them both,” he screeched.107Please respect copyright.PENANA2MPyjr0x4q
Blades looked at each other warily, unwilling to listen to the captains’107Please respect copyright.PENANArhifEbAEx8
commands, and the soldiers didn’t move as Leon didn’t give them orders.
“The orders were to bring them in107Please respect copyright.PENANA7fNcMsiib9
alive.” Vander looked over to see Eric Jilena walking over towards them.107Please respect copyright.PENANAd2ciAoC9FA
“Though, I wouldn’t mind you fighting back a little bit so I can get revenge on107Please respect copyright.PENANAktBYRvfx97
my son’s murderer.”
“I didn’t kill your son.” Vander107Please respect copyright.PENANAcEc3bd0IbU
sighed, but he raised his hands and got down to his knees. “When I left, he was107Please respect copyright.PENANAGs1jcCgKLx
unconscious.”
“Not that I don’t want to believe107Please respect copyright.PENANAF2SaGfpOLR
you, but when I saw him, he was dead. Only two of you know the truth and one is107Please respect copyright.PENANAcdBLDlof4T
dead. Excuse me if I don’t believe the words of a king killer.” Eric spat.
“You’ll find soon enough that I am107Please respect copyright.PENANAJIyfo6ZWtB
innocent on both counts.” Vander said, his voice steady. “I am not surrendering107Please respect copyright.PENANAO7M6zszRpR
myself to you, I am surrendering myself to Alex as he came here to convince me107Please respect copyright.PENANABkukIH7SHL
to turn myself in.” He hoped his words would keep Alex from being punished. “He107Please respect copyright.PENANAF00KDXIPwD
had no part in my escape.”
“Is this true, Captain?” Eric107Please respect copyright.PENANAbDxBsQ73sq
looked over at Alex. Vander prayed the Alex would understand that he was trying107Please respect copyright.PENANAZmhy6CoUWR
to save him. Alex took one look at Vander, before nodding to the General. “Very107Please respect copyright.PENANApYaS1h3FrT
well. We got what we needed anyway.”
“We will see about that.” Leon107Please respect copyright.PENANAWNSBzDzEBq
snarled. “I know you’re guilty and I will prove it.”
“Do whatever you want.” Alex107Please respect copyright.PENANA8bp90wKOlC
shrugged. Alex placed his hand on Vander’s shoulder. “Up you go, let’s get you107Please respect copyright.PENANAH4936tTGV0
to the castle.”
“I will not risk him escaping107Please respect copyright.PENANAYIzpZc9Gbd
again.” Eric snapped his fingers. Two soldiers rushed over carrying heavy iron107Please respect copyright.PENANA15rnOmOKZc
cuffs. Without a complaint, Vander held his arms out. They were clipped107Please respect copyright.PENANA8S0G3mwoy1
securely to him then four guards took positions up on either side of him and107Please respect copyright.PENANAXJnbZ7oGyt
started to march.
He could hear Shea’s panicked107Please respect copyright.PENANAGcu4j42JHG
voice filling his head, but he told her that he would be back soon and not to107Please respect copyright.PENANAZa3ngZpW5R
worry, before he shut her out completely.

friend. “Hide the black book. Keep it with you at all times. Let no one else107Please respect copyright.PENANA87QFqNghUp
see it.” Alex nodded before dropping back. Vander held his head high ready to107Please respect copyright.PENANA5oXXoF57Rt
face the music and the weight of his choices.
