Merryn opened the door a little. Maxwell again. Somehow, he always managed to show up. How did he keep finding them? There were no mages in his party, at least none that looked like one.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANACR9eMlzJwq
Footsteps from behind.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANALBt35QJCNw
"They will kill you; why don't you com-" Parcival placed his hands on hers.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAAS8wUKaCRn
"Then what? They'll burn this town to ashes looking for me."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAfGk1wLEr1L
She took her hands out of his. Did he really care, or was there another reason? She wrapped her pouch's ties around her fingers tightly.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUvomoutP3H
She rubbed her arm. How am I to follow Olenus' teachings if-? There wasn't any other choice.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEodZEl33Am
Parcival's palms smacked the tabletop.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAkWK43jNtK2
"Takes only one hit from those spears of theirs, and you will be afflicted with the poison, paralyzed, waiting for a slow death when your heart explodes hours later."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAsGt5lHBo3T
She flinched.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAX2zF8JGr2z
"He won't be able to touch me, much less injure me. You forget who you're dealing with, human," she huffed. She glared at him. Insulting is what it was. Losing to a human?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAcdlmcFrSJp
"Do you know nothing of the Elven?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAs4JHRFQABX
The hairs on her arms bristled, and she fought down a darkness, a darkness all her own. Can't let it win. It's bad enough the god had piggybacked, but to have to deal with what the dark spirits had placed?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUSrmBNeckP
"I admit my studies are lacking when it comes to your people, but only because they refuse to share much of their history and culture."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAPq451B20Wy
A pained expression crossed his face; it was at odds with his words.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAy9Fw1TT5hG
"If you like, I could tell you a little, sometime?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAtQAKAzX5QB
It was strange caring about this; everything inside was a warped mess. Have been hanging around with the man too long. Is this the weakness mother tried to explain? She scowled.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxbKhPSXZWX
"Would you? I mean, it would be most interesting to learn about your history; so little is known."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAjlNOc0ry5P
His face took on that look only young kids had and in his eyes, a spark kindled for just a minute. A smile played on her lips. His mood was Infectious. Hea.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAtfahHz2J2L
If you get too soft people will die. Remember, he's out there.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAjX0mIfLNZs
It was something she wanted to bring back often. Everything they'd told her about humans just didn't fit, to how he this one acted. She bit the inside of her cheek. It brought back some measure of control.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA5BBNw5Rc2E
Get a hold of yourself now.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAywTWOnViiC
Reality sucked rotten hog hanks as Maxwell's voice lanced from outside. There were no joys not for me.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAKm4yQO9EmA
"I want no mistakes, this time, understand? Capture them both and burn the town to the ground!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAtJXaMUXEGG
It was hard to see through the tiny carved window.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUW57EUJ5nF
The Nekhawk circled the church above, swooping down. It landed on Maxwell's shoulder. Its tentacles curled upwards as it preened a wing. Not that thing again.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA4HrGvtP0vZ
Maxwell faced his men. They all nodded. They spread out, each standing by a house with an unlit torch in hand.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0AjlItx6O
"Let me go out there. A woman should not do this. This is absurd!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAwWrlsLQJVm
He held both her arms with both of his hands.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAbkehhGPqJi
"You're not going out there."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA3JiwuNWmBD
"Let go, now." They never said not to knock them unconscious.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ67GTUtlwE
"You shouldn't have to do this ..." He breathed in several short, shallow breaths.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAgv4ocGh0Yz
She suppressed a smile. He really didn't know? The naivety was refreshing.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANANepeNAyJQy
The vines on her back warmed then turned hot. They worked in deeper. She backed up slowly to the wall. Dizzy again. Sounds took longer to understand.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAw2l9POMy0o
The vines under the skin of her neck moved up; they tapped repeatedly at the back of her skull. She clawed at the vines and shrieked.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvcQ5hyKjKf
Resisting makes it harder. Like it or not, this is happening. The side effects are unfortunate.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAAkYhjHaesf
Everything had a haze to it as if a bad dream she couldn't quite shake off.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAmqKYv3qJY3
"You need to recover more. Go lay down. I'll take care of this." He held out his hand.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAFpKVKVRgB5
She moved to him. A pinched expression strained his face.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAWii9vqvxvh
Before she could ask him who he was, a voice in her mind interrupted her.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAKM1EWK19U7
Pretend you know him. Say nothing.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvA99xcc6O4
This voice. She held her head in her hands. A vague memory surfaced. An image of an energy field. A yellow stone? Ah, a crystal, it turned dark then went away. The ache that came with it didn't.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA2wDYKIlxRE
She rubbed her forehead and breathed a ragged breath. "You may be right."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA56ITG6Kwil
"Your face is flushed." He came over and reached out.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANArYlkSKX8uN
She bent away. Now wasn't the time for this. Need a clear head.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6CfxeAYJ4Q
"You don't have to go out there."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAfito9gBbqZ
Out? should I?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAjSVlQiHvxJ
You decided in the name of peace to dispose of Maxwell.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAqSi9MLSa07
Destroy? Peace, what was this? Let me wake up! The warmth cooled, and her scalp prickled. She shook her head as a rush pricked over her scalp. A thought in the back if her mind, it fluttered out of grasp. Listen to the man or a creepy voice. Both options sucked.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAQeDaSP6yNF
"Let me help." The man stood in front, his eyebrows raised.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANARnBDIlTYtD
This one sucked less. Did he have the other? 1136Please respect copyright.PENANANwiknGPVWp
Yes, let him take care of Maxwell. It's time to go home. Do you remember?1136Please respect copyright.PENANAlz9r1qz8A4
But you just said not to. Who are you?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA25wDmaWe04
I changed my mind. Do as I say.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA2nXibs7fhZ
Another rush. A broken image of a dry wasteland, its sky dark, broken by lighting. This was home?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA2X9A4HvnD3
Yes. You must get there.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAp08Ryn93JU
Who are you?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA0W2P3iWdux
A friend. His thoughts were syrupy and thick in nature.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxA1h305ENQ
Rings of smoke tickled her nose. A cat man sat reserved puffing his pipe. His ears turned back.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAls6VpJb1z2
In the Undergod's name! She backed up as he grew closer. Would it eat her?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAiKirZe11nU
"You're looking ill."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAFuJDZtBWJg
The strange blue-eyed man was suddenly close to her face! She scrambled; her back pressed to a wall. He looked at her, then at Han. His brows rose and then crinkled.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAVaVzHrfAV7
"Remember when you found her in the rafters?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAgezE5k4QbO
The cat-man breathed in a deep, fearsome breath; his teeth poked out.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAlsxFS4a4pM
"The infection seems to have an adverse effect on her. It would be wise to get her to stay in here."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAV90PvjdRIH
He pushed the chair next to the table, picked up a necklace with beads on it, and put it around his neck.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xsp0El2lA
She edged towards the door as they talked. Where's Dad? Where the hell is this? Have to get back home; a pulling from within towards the sea and beyond called.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAowFRAhQiHA
"Don't go out there!" the cat-man said.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABDAjRHTaPz
No, let them take care of it.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAbZQVt4Bxxe
You're crazy; make up your mind! Could the others hear this voice? No, of course not, they'd say something.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvk7FOwylk4
Nobody tells me to shut up. You ... it trailed off, quiet.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANArnZ8TR1XJQ
"Where is the disgusting Elven? Send her out now, or I'll burn this town!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAeTZUTVw9It
Hoofbeats resound outside.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAYtwtMErqQ6
Through the window slit many men passed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANASMRtY8YFT1
She edged closer to the door, gripped the steel door handle, and took in a deep breath.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA8LNqHiATjR
Several doors slammed outside as the panicked people ran into their homes.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAorPWqP0LTw
"You have no right to threaten our town, you filthy bugbear!" the old woman yelled and shook her hands at Maxwell.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAXc3G2Vfoa0
"Hold your tongue, woman, or I'll cut it off."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAYbIDOk0pHE
The blue-eyed man came out of the church then stood in front of the old woman.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAoKbGrbTkOH
"You will not."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAXCFZArWTy0
Grabbing the handle, she yanked it open and went down the steps.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZBasAqrHZV
"Leave her alone," Marryn said in a tight, baneful voice.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAqDALQVrm6q
Defying me? For what, a wrinkled raisin of a woman?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAQBsDjczzvs
Do you ever stop talking, spirit?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAnr3bSgRjhL
The old woman ran into her house and slammed the door. The already empty streets grew even quieter, if that was even possible.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAkf6jdzDLuu
The blue-eyed man came over.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA1QzeROfuOv
"No, get out of here."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAC47F8ChGRe
She pointed at the road. "Go."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANANIsWqSGkdI
"I will not. You know exactly why."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAOas8HKF9k6
He straightened then pushed her behind, sword drawn.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAG9UwfSqptE
"Go back inside. I don't need your help." Fourteen harpy hells, this man was vexing.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAHV3nSuGyFD
Maxwell. I know him. As for the others the names were fuzzy. Negative energy came off him, comparative to a squall ready to blow through anything in his path. Clenched teeth and face taunt, he pulled the spear off his back ,dashing with it.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUkbVTdrMSP
She shoved the blue-eyed man out of the way.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAf1S801QUQH
With little time to think, much less react, she swerved out of the way. She stumbled and caught her balance.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAbe6bNpDihD
The armored man wrapped a hand around the hilt of his sword.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAPpQ7WVTUMw
The cat man grabbed his hand and shook his head. He motioned the other man to move back over to the church.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAysRZqVDPAt
The headache faded; all came to focus. One minute it seemed she was in the church talking with Parcival, and then in another, facing Maxwell. What was going on here? The vines relaxed, and her clarity returned.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAiw6Rr7FXx7
She turned her head pleading with her eyes, don't.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAkxyayYXD1z
Parcival's arm fell to his side, and his fists clenched. "This is all wrong." He went down the church steps, hesitated, and followed Han.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxHx6WewLnM
He spun around then lunged forward a few steps. His brows had knit together with his lips drawn. He gripped the sword's scabbard so tightly the leather grip squeaked. So protective, why?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA1cJjX0f0QP
Han shook his head. "Let it be. He's a king's guard."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAx8XrZN42fq
"The law? You mean his law." Parcival spat onto the ground.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANADA1V7hgEL8
"Are you trying to get us all killed?" Han yanked on his arm.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAq2RMtziEsp
Maxwell turned towards them. "I'll deal with you later."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA8P7hd5NMPG
Then focused on her, she let go of a breath she was holding. He ran towards her and lunged. The blade of the spear clanged against her blades.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAlsc7y5i2hk
She avoided the same fate to her neck, by craning away a fraction faster. Have to get out of here. Am way over matched. What to do? There's so little time. The way back to the road was open. Could just vanish now; that last loss of spiritual energy was the worst to happen this week.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANARH5Kpqgace
She backed up into what she assumed was a lamp post. I want to go home, back to the temple.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAYCOHtV2y0E
As do I. Shut off the inner waterfall already. It's fight or die.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANACPKuigDGbt
I really, really, really hate you.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAgvoyZueIda
Never should have opened my prison then.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANATVSzTlhpSq
She pushed up against the lamp post, standing tall. It helped shore up some courage or at least bravo.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAOqLmp0b3DB
She hissed at Maxwell and lunged at him. Gah, just go away.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ho2F29D0F
"Your corpse on a funeral pyre would look pretty, and such a fitting entrance to the Underworld."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAqw8yvRomon
She shrunk back and tried to edge away. The answer left a keen pang in her stomach.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANATw7WoYhkub
He spun the spear in the air and aimed at her head again. Great, just great! Her pulse quickened, and her breathing faster. That was way too close.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAk5rFbtqoZL
Maxwell held it with both hands, now, as he attempted to land a massive blow to her skull.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA89cgnnry58
She gripped the post with both hands, twisted in mid-air and swung around, and let go. Both blades crossed in front of her.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAgEVlfIJchc
"I don't want to fight. Leave me alone, now!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAOHWZuw7kM3
"You say one thing and act in another. All is irrelevant. You'll pay for what you did. If you want to make it easy for me then, go ahead."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA8Fhig6ozLu
He jumped back, his arms out for balance, and then lunged forward with the spear. She ran around a large flower pot, jumping onto the eaves of a house. His spear hit behind her; several roof pottery tiles shattered.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvwlZuEh6TU
As he came closer, she kicked at him. It didn't phase him. He closed the distance and twirled the spear above his head. It whirred in the air. She cried out and backed away into a wall.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhS97Do8uRa
All I want is to help. Let me take over for a while.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAiLTR0z7alk
Don't want your kind of help.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhmZH1ahaMh
She ran at Maxwell with her blades crisscrossed and aimed for his neck. I won't lose to a human.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAVDOfelVE6I
He is mine, as are you. Let me stop him. Give me control.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAOMk2v7gHoK
Go away.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANATKTleLcBtK
She clenched and unclenched a dagger handle, while tracking Maxwell's movements. There had to be some way to stop him.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAmwQ7MISaNF
"So close, yet once again, you missed the mark!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAPZca6j6m7t
He backed and parried. His muscles bulged as he pushed down on the blades.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAr8mKA0h0eO
She fought against letting loose the hungry ancient heart contained within, threatening to boil over and consume the last gossamer thread left of control.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAqAZkhsgw9t
Listen to the call, the blood of your enemy dripping from your blade. The sound of shattered of bones, the pure glory of the kill. Your people were once great warriors, now infected with compassion and peace. Don't deny your true self.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAYGA6dDdrd2
No wonder they locked you away. She squeezed her fist as the blood call gnawed under the surface. Shut up!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEACvXQ1GkQ
His spear clashed amid the blades. He pushed down, sending a spray of sparks erupting into the air.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAmwC85fhOoJ
The day grew hotter and pushed down on her, almost as much as Maxwell.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAiUmnSw4npX
He looked down at her. "Why do you fight me? Accept your death with grace! I was not the one who slaughtered thousands of people that day! Or, are you just uncaring?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAGU5XzF1v5V
"That isn't-"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANARJLBLqCV4e
His words heavier than any spear.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAe6xnKS886x
Let me out, now or die.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvKm244lcrj
Be quiet!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAb366ljbAPt
Maxwell pushed her down to her knees.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAb3NWxU4ygn
How can he grin right now? Her arms burned with the effort of moving the spear tip away from her neck.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAx9HOMdp1iJ
The armored man dashed forward, then pointed his sword at Maxwell's head.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANANsDtwNi3iX
Maxwell looked at him, his eyes but slits. A darkness formed over Parcival. He dropped his sword onto the grass. He slumped down on the ground and collapsed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAh2eV6I5cpI
"Get back." Sweat dripped down her forehead and off her nose.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAuBS0L7tkWl
Parcival's face peaked, and his lips whitened. He clamped his mouth shut. His eyes glazed, and he drew in a breath through his teeth. His legs twitched violently, and his eyes rolled back into his head, showing the white undersides.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEXI45blcnT
"He's innocent; let him go," she said.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAKkysjruDEw
Maxwell grounded his teeth, snarling. "Go home, fledgling."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAAhDGsr3SvQ
Han grabbed Parcival by the arm and dragged him away.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAscNcjY4WSQ
He focused on her, once again; he struck the spear down hard near her heart. It took all her concentration to hold the god at bay.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAAbANMe432t
With each breath, she drew in the spear, inching ever closer to her heart. She let go, freeing one hand, while keeping the spear away from her neck with the other. Her other hand slipped out a throwing dagger she hid under her back armor. She slashed at his hands and cut a deep gash on the top of it.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAXIhWyh87pT
Blood ran down his arm in a stream; the smell of it filled the air with a sharp metallic smell.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANApjdu1G1EcK
She ran at him, again and tried to stab his bare chest.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAwyQO56YPV4
He pushed away from the dagger with the sword hilt. "What are you smiling about? Stop it, I say!" he said.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAY6tT1wXGgW
An instant later, he stepped back. Smiling? Since when is a grimace a smile? Idiot.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANApDmICINlfV
Maxwell's head jerked back, and he sucked in a breath. Before she could move away, he backed up, then twirled around and landed a lucky strike that clobbered her shoulder.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA2tOU2YdNia
She tried to get way as he hammered down on her with the blunt end of the spear. It was all she could do to protect her head with her arms.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAL3ksEn7i6j
"Stop this!" A shuffling of feet.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAMTBPJ23INs
"You want more pain, Paladin?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAJaRMRUSaGk
Moving was was painfull, she staggered and fell.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABpkOf4zlIY
Han closed his eyes and turned around.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANALXP3vLxr9r
"I hate her more, than I fear you," Maxwell said. "I don't fear you much, cub."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA7LHFsdQtyq
Parcival ran at him.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAT6GhvkAWcq
Han slammed into his knees, knocking him down.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAa27bAd9Ba9
"He will kill you; ignore the taunts."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAM4OD8Dpfl5
Maxwell smiled at this then bent down. His eyes narrowed to a thin bright line that flashed across the edges. He whispered a spell and held his hand close to her face.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA1KcY6LT12c
The pain was immediate; it wracked through her body. She pushed her nails onto the top of her arm and tried not scream. Only the weak screamed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAwQAwqzRNHr
Standing above her, his deranged smile broke into a fissure from the corners of his lips and pulled up his cheeks. He held his spear in both hands, thrusting it for the moral strike. She glared, unflinching.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAAtxZhA1u0m
Parcival dashed into Maxwell and struck his leg, slashing a deep cut through the cloth robe. They went rolling onto the ground.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Hbo09G3Z
Maxwell stood first then punched Parcival in the nose, stunning him. Tears came out of Parcival's eyes, and he cupped his nose, moaning.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZXIhnsUYS9
Limping, Maxwell slowly backed away then jumped onto his horse as he signaled to the others to follow him.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUHpdTOAkjH
Casting his gaze at her. "We will finish this later."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAwlKE2gzSsp
Then to Parcival. "You think I'm the evil one? Ask her. Ask her what she's done."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA188VzwyMIt
Dust filled the air as he and his men faded from view.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAsgTccHvlkk
"What in heaven's name is going on with you?" Parcival asked.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvmqS0Xe3al
Come home to me vessel. They'll never accept you.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAODN1KJu9y5
Don't care.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxVKQTxx25d
You're lying to yourself. Come home. They can't give you the peace that I can.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABD88axAuza
With that, the vines pulled back into her body.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAi3axjEOI5F
" ..... " She closed her eyes. If it thinks I'll cry it's mistaken.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA21Rzutn7GY
Han arched an eyebrow at her. His ears perked up. "Hum."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvSgK2npLce
Han stepped over to Parcival, putting his hand on his nose, then closed his eyes and whispered a prayer. His hands glowed white.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhOH0Ks52yW
She watched the plume of dust. What if next time-there was little point thinking about it. Do the job and get it done; little else mattered. Her chest tightened again.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhhg0MWxBi1
She went over to him. "Thank you."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA43sGGb5fBo
He nodded. Before he could say anything, she quickly hugged him and let go.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAF6lnNGdy81
"I need some time alone. I'll meet up with you both later," she said.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAnJT4C4qT0S
"I'll be at the Library they have here. It's not the largest I've seen, but it should be adequate," Parcival said.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANADA4KxUcN1d
She looked over to Han.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhthtHICwJk
"And you?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAHGqoZzCiwe
"After this day, I think a good stout drink is in order."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAWl1N32As8j
He lit his pipe, turned about towards the town's only inn.
