As they make it outside and to the horses Myst
lays Sabre down on the ground carefully. She checks
her to make sure she is ok. One of the soldiers
mounts up onto Star, Sabre's horse, and then Myst lifts
Sabre up to him, still wrapped in the bed linens. The
soldier holds onto Sabre carefully, leaning her against
his chest. Myst then goes over to Makeri and
Soul.
"Soul, are you ok? Can you still ride?" She asks him. He
looks up at her with a pained look in his eyes. "Where
is that bastard?" he says. Myst smiles and points to
another horse with the man bound and gagged laying across
the horse's back.
"Don't worry Soul, he is still
alive and all yours." Soul smiles painfully then drops
to his knees holding his ribs. Myst takes the Sabre
from his hand and places it back in his sheath. She
and Makeri help Soul up onto his horse then one of
the other soldiers climbs up behind him to help
steady him.
Soul glances over to is wife, her
beauty still showing under all the cuts and bruises. As
she sits there unconscious leaning against one of the
Red Lions, Soul vows his revenge on the man who did
this to her. Suddenly Soul turns to
Mystique.
"Mystique" in an almost frantic voice, "Where is Colin?
Where is my son?" Myst looks up at Soul and smiles, "he
is safe Soul, I have already taken him home. He is
at the Keep with the nursemaid safe and sound." Soul
sighs with relief.
Mystique then mounts up onto
Champ and watches the house burn. "We will wait for
Adexan. He should be coming out soon. Then we will head
back to the Keep."
