Worth It All (The Second Part of A Game of Mouse and Wolf)

-By Magic Mike

"Where did you come from? How did you find me?" Iciro asked, his voice laced with fear.

"That's not important," Antinous replied. "What matters is the favor I need to ask of you."

"I won't do anything for you."

"You will... unless you want to die."

Iciro hesitated briefly.

"What is it that you want?"

"Ah, so you are willing to listen?"

"Just spit it out, Antinous!"

With a smirk, Antinous said, "I need you to find a way into the queen's chamber."

"No way!"

The smirk on Antinous's face transformed into a menacing and terrifying glare.

"No?"

"I refuse to let you anywhere near the queen!"

"That was the wrong answer, Little Mouse," Antinous chuckled menacingly. "It seems you're eager to die."

"I'm not! But if my death is required to protect the queen of Ithaca, then so be it. Now, release my wrist before you lose the ability to use yours."

After a tense standoff, Antinous finally released him.

"Very well," he said with severity. "But don't say I didn't warn you, Little Mouse. I'll bring pain and suffering your way and believe me... you won't see it coming."

Silently, Iciro watched Antinous depart. He was unsure of Antinous's plans, but he knew he had to be vigilant; he was now in grave danger.
