CURSED WITH MERCY

Ceathair [Unedited]

Jalie felt so mad!

She wanted to leave them there and be done with their bullshit! She owed them nothing, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. They had a mission to finish.

"Hey you over there. Where are they sending them?"

"There's a camp. They keep prisoners there. I spent a week there myself before I escaped," Sven said, as he scratched the sores over his body.

"How'd you escape?"

Sven saw an opportunity to make money, so he went for it, he stretched out his hand.

"Ugh", Jalie gave him another Silver coin. He took it and shook his head, "Gold!"

"Gold? If you think I'm giving you a gold shilling then you're crazy!"

"I am crazy!" He laughed maniacally. "You really don't want to save your comrades.

Jalie grunted, "here" she tossed the man another coin.

Meet me here at midnight. He whispered and stormed away.

******************************************

When midnight came, the mad man was nowhere to be found, he'd vanished. Jalie knew it was a mistake to let him go, but she was not stupid, she knew she'd see him again. Next time though, she planned to kill him.

She had to break those fools out of prison. If ever there was a perfect time for such an endeavor it was now.

She sneaked into the camp, knocking out a few guards and killing those who saw her. Anyone who saw her in action knew she was a force to be reckoned with, from how she moved to her skill she had obviously been trained well. But her past was a story for another book

She even stripped on naked, knowing very well she couldn't have a serious conversation with Caegred's pecker hanging around.

"Here!", she threw a blade and some clothes into the cage. They'd been fast asleep till they heard the war trumpets.

"Oh so now you wake up! Dress while I go check out what's happening"

Half of the Royal guards were knocked out! And they had Jalie to thank for that. She climbed the walls so she could get a better vision of what was happening. Then she saw them! An army was approaching! They had no banners, they were all dressed like assassins. But from the horses, they rode she knew they weren't assassins.

"Caegred! Arm yourself! Tradworth, Get the horses we're leaving now!"

Caegred picked up a longsword from an unconscious soldier and got ready.

"They're here!" Sven was laughing so hard his throat hurt. But he didn't care, he was right. Unfortunately from him, his laugh had caught Jalie's attention.

"Who're they?" She hurriedly swept him off his feet and placed her sword at his crotch. "Speak up!"
"They took down Tabod, Nord, and now they're here! I knew they would come that's why I bought this", he held up a sword.
"I bought it with the gold shilling you gave me"

"You should've bought a meal. Do you know how to use it?"

"Yes"

"Then you're with me!"

*********************************************

It was night and lord Earl was still in the brothel. He was smoking on a pipe and had two women rubbing on his chest. He felt fulfilled.
"Mi-Lord! Kuvo is under siege!" immediately, the naked girls woke up and started running around distraught and fear-stricken!

"Well sound the alarm! Get the guards! Aniella! Get an Escort to take Aniella out of the town this instant", he was busily dressing.

"Get me my battle gear! This means war", his tone had changed. He meant business.

DO YOU THINK CHAPTER SHOULD BE LONGER OR SHORTER?
