Her heart was
still beating in her ears as she was hurrying away from the scene of her
crime.
Kilbas would catch her if she gave him the chance, wounded or not.
|
She turned from
the cliff and stopped.
|
This wasn't far
from where she'd left Llyr.
Why wasn't he gone yet?
|
She hurried her
steps to the demon.
|
"We have to
move. Now."
|
"Why would you
do that?" he wouldn't turn to face her.
|
Her hand stopped
in mid-motion.
"What?"
|
"I told you
I'm dying soon. What you did was futile and stupid."
She'd forgotten he could see everything.
|
"Don't say that.
I'm not planning on letting you go that easy."
"The whole Clan will be after you, and for what?"
|
"Stop it.
It's too late now." she grabbed his fingers.
"I assume you saw it all, so you know it's happened already and there's
nothing to be done about it." |
She walked past
him in an attempt to get him to follow, "Besides..."
|
"I didin't
do it just
for you."
It was her time to choose her own path.
|
"Tanith, they'll
hunt you down and I don't have enough magic left to hide you."
The Huntress sighed, "I can do just fine on my own, it's you I'm worried
about."
|
"I know you know
someone that might be able to help you."
He'd helped enough
fugitives to get on the Clan's bad side; one of them was bound to know
something of magics.
"There's
no---"
"You need to accept help for once in your life, Llyr." she interrupted him.
"So, let's get the hell out of here and see who feels like they owe you
something.."
|
Llyr had no
arguments left, so he resigned,
"You should've at least killed him."
