Story: The WitchSlayer
I must tell someone, though.If he were to die, he would be taking this new information to his death.Nyota...His sister. She already knew what he was doing, and she would keep this information hidden. She may fight him on it, but in the end she would follow his wishes.
He gave a snarling cringe. She wouldn’t leave him be with her twisted sense of affection, but she also wouldn’t reveal his secrets. He could tell her and then upon finding out about his death, she could then reveal to others what he’d learned.
“Do you not worry that Strolguil may be close by?”
With an air of nonchalance, he asked, “What colour was this apparent power?”
“It looked blue.” Glov shook his head, seeming both awestruck and confused at the same time. “Honestly, in all my three-hundred and twenty years in the sky, I have never seen such a thing. There is not much that can surprise me.”
“Strolguil’s lightning is red from blood magic. If you see red lightning, do not fly in its direction next time!” Rurik shouted at him for being stupid enough to come this way when he had feared the Vast was nearby.
“You are my friend, Rurik. I did not want to do nothing if you were possibly in danger.”
His admission made Rurik’s anger lessen.
“Yes, Glov, I feel the same,” he sighed. “Which is why you are not to be so careless as to fly towards danger!”
Then he swiped him, catching his claws against Glov’s face and making him bleed.
“One of these days you will scar me with your claws.” He lifted the back of his paw to rub his face and wipe some of the blood away. Then he muttered, “What kind of person strikes their friends?”
“Do not whine like a young hatchling. I do not strike you hard on purpose.” That was a lie.
He didn’t care if he scarred Glov’s face or hurt him.
“So, you did not see the light. Then what do I tell the Elders? I was hoping you might have more information because they will want to know what I saw. They will think me mad if I say I saw a strange light.”
“You do not even know if it was truly near me. It could have been closer to Falen’s lair or further behind my own. Do not bring the Elders down upon me when you are so unsure.”
He didn’t need them coming here for a further reason than the Witch he had in his lair. They would try to sniff around while they were nearby and meddle in his affairs.
“If you did not hear it or see it, perhaps it was not as close as I thought.”
Rurik nodded, hoping it would help to convince him to leave out the part where he thought it may have been near his lair.
“Perhaps your Witch saw something. When I arrive, she is often sitting at the entrance to your home.”
Blasted.“She was with me today.”
“All day?” Glov asked with a frown, tilting his head. “I did not know that you spent hours with her. I thought that she was an irritation to you that you merely dealt with.”
“No, I did not spend all day with her.”
“May I speak with her? She may know what it is and did not want to alert you that Witches are possibly coming your way.”
Blasted!If he didn’t allow Glov to speak with her it would be suspicious, but her bath may only have lessened his scent on her.
“She is bathing.”
“Then I will wait until she is done,” Glov answered, looking around at the tapestries like he often did. He couldn’t recount the number of times they’d spoken about each tapestry, a constant source of entertainment to the green Dragon. “Also, I have been to Borlag, and I was correct, he is still alive. He had not known Witches were nearby.”
Rurik sighed, pleased to hear that Borlag was still breathing.
“Remain here. She will not appreciate it if we are to see her unclothed and will not speak with us if she is upset.”
Glov nodded in understanding, and with a huff, Rurik walked to the Witch’s room to find she’d already finished washing.
His nose twitched when a tingle in it made him want to sneeze.
