Mythri & Sanguis (special preview)
Added 2019-02-25 22:00:02 +0000 UTCDali stands up, touching the back of her head. “Where are we?” She whispers.
“The caverns under the castle,” Dhaval replies. “The dungeons are on the other side of these walls,” he coughs.
I go back to his side, slipping my hand under the chain against his throat.
Nadeem growls. “I swear to the gods,” he lifts his head. “I thought I saw Wulsi before I was knocked out.”
“Wulsi?” I turn towards him.
“It wasn’t,” Dhaval huffs. “His name is Edragon, he’s Wulsi’s son. I met him when we were battling Sanguis in the Berkset.”
Nadeem rises from the water. “That’s impossible.” He shakes his head and sighs. “Edragon was killed by loyalists after Wulsi was executed.”
“He wasn’t,” Dhaval grunts. “He’s very much alive and has been working for Sanguis since his father died.”
I lower my gaze as I take in this news. Wulsi had tried to kill me and my family before, now his son probably wanted to finish all that.
“But why are we here?” Dali snaps.
“Reginald of Veleryn is also with Sanguis,” Charlee murmurs.
Dali goes quiet and her jaw drops slowly. She turns around and braces herself against the wall. For the longest time she is silent and says nothing.
“Mom,” Dhaval whispers to me. “You need to get out of here. Find a way to free everybody and just run.”
“I’m not leaving you behind,” I hiss at him. “How dare you even think that.”
“They obviously all want us for something,” Dhaval snarls. “Some unfinished business or something to do with that Sanguis. Please, you have to run. I’m one less thing you have to worry about.”
I scowl at him. “You’re not just my son, you’re my king,” I snarl at him. “I am not leaving you here.”
“Oh good, everyone is awake.”
