Chapter 37
No one came to see him for the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX6gUSfpHM
first day. Aside from some lukewarm water and moldy bread, he hadn’t had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDaeH5ZOEk
anything to eat either. He spent his time curled in the corner allowing his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVCVxoa0G
negative thoughts to control his mind. He thought about his failure at protecting89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid5KmoX2SW
Malcolm that brought him to this place, forcing him on the run because he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNkbgpxTGn
hadn’t been prepared. If they had taken a little more time to think about it,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLtl9MEb7h
they should have been aware that there could have been another traitor amongst89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkxc8BqUJR
them. Cranton, the one who vetted all the servants, the closest to the king,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQOnGTZQzJ
and able to move unseen. There were clues, but they all ignored them.
Now his best friend, the one who89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmLc8Z3mCZ
risked everything for him, might be in jail as well, or in trouble at the very89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XPzN0jyXX
least. He betrayed his vow all for the sake of friendship. At the very least he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRiS7Gvtza
could be removed from the Blades. At least he had someone to fall back on, if89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv0zUJIn2F
this went south, Vander had no one. He didn’t even know where his grandfather89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THwb72jsY
had gone and with no way to reach him, he had no one. The despair was too89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwP2ilk6gf
great, so he buried himself inside his own mind hoping that things would get89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV005NoUkmM
better.
The demon scraped against his mind89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbtaPuuWAI
begging to be released. He would make all those who hurt them suffer89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz1VQVrPjU
unimaginable pain. He could start by removing their skin piece by piece until89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwuJvqsLBM
they passed out from the pain. Then he would carve out their organs with his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3CTZV6rQO
bare hands, not stopping even after the body died. Then they would be tossed to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3AVSBhk3A
the forest for the animals to have their fill. He begged, pleaded and89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICYDKid9jM
threatened, but if there was hope, Vander would not give in. No matter how much89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnad2cbAlg
he wanted to.
He wasn’t sure how long it had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNBImgd74R
been, but eventually he heard the door open. Based on the sounds their feet89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFHmy0YutV
made, there were four people coming down to see him. None of them, except one,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVcRA1a1GS
was wearing armor. He recognized her scent clearly compared to the others.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhqfYpphhh
According to the book, and her, the two of them were bonded. Despite knowing89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWRreBzt1Q
nothing about her, he didn’t want her to see him like this so he hid closer to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIw7nKPTmh
the shadows hoping it would be enough. It wasn’t.
“Come out, Vander.” Her voice was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW444L5bLA6
soft, full of warmth. He felt the presence of Atza beckoning him, pushing the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GQQOJAce
demon further into the recesses of his mind. He looked over to see her kind89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3URtsHDPd
expression staring at him without hate or malice. In the face she looked89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYdXVswDU2
worried. Her eyes were sunken in. Her normally glossy hair hung loose around89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54CjZf28nC
her face. In the three months he had been missing, she lost quite a bit of89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrUvWNVM3d
weight.
The others she was with didn’t89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK0CC3Yr9z
really surprise him except Whitesun was there. He had no idea why the southern89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc8GNQn0GA
warden was there to see him, but he couldn’t think of any good reasons. Maybe89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mnzWy7cPI
the council had finally made their judgement.
“Have you decided what you were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QaEbxu6wL
going to do with me?” Vander asked. He looked over at Cuvera who met his stare89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzmSGPysHi
with his own.
“The council is split.” Cuvera89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCIgiyRwf0
explained. “There are many who don’t believe you capable of killing my father,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34tzukcwLb
but they also don’t believe that Peyton would have been capable either. Then89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MgRQttDTJ
there are those who think you did do it, and nothing would convince them89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lQd9kLzTR
otherwise.”
“Not once did we doubt you,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCZnN9TlUg
Vander.” Kiara’s voice was kind. “We were hurt that you felt you couldn’t stay89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtcyP8ScuB
and plead your case, but based on the considerable resources that were spent to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX8MPuxHmy
track you down, as well as the venomous rhetoric that was spread against you,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPRUZWeEVi
it ended up being for the best. You wouldn’t be safe here, not with the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7JNSM3Xz7
influence many of the nobles have in the city.”
“Then why am I still locked up?”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlepqK7P7R
he asked. “If you believe me, why keep me here?”
“Because we can’t release you89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeBsbbK25B
without proof that Peyton killed my father.” Cuvera explained. “As it stands89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCp9Y5uRzv
it’s your word against his and he has more sway amongst the nobles. I know89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Iv1tH2Ww
you’re innocent, but they know that I would protect you because we are practically89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gpzeUyjyK
brothers.”
“How do you know I’m innocent?”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL20gonUPC
Vander countered. “I could be the monster they think I am.”
“Vander!” Eliza gasped. “Don’t say89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprfcF3anie
things like that.”
“I know because I saw what89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6h5Him5f3
happened.” Cuvera sighed. “A week after my father died, the ceremony to take89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOFtCbi97R
the shard of Humjir into me was performed. I saw everything leading up to his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwIajQaY66
final moments, including him telling you to run with his dying breath. I’ve89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt9FlK5LAT
known him for months, but Peyton has the power now that my father’s gone. I89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxy24R5PlO
can’t do a thing.”
“However, I do.” Whitesun spoke89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Smzy5A37
softly. “Even though I am the farthest of all the Warden’s from the city,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ehJY44Jw
Malcolm and I were good friends. I believe you Vander. I think you are a kind89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoUdz48EYX
soul despite the stigma surrounding you, I can help you.”
“How?” Vander stared at the man, a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv5RlWvPdS
stranger. He couldn’t quite believe someone would be willing to help him just89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZCYLUhLWk
for no reason. There had to be another motive, but he would be damned if he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvfYUwEZbW
could think of one.
“You let me worry about that.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d1R6zolpL
Whitesun held out his hand through the bars. Vander studied it for a moment89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHqefZZz9X
before accepting it. The two of them held hands for a few minutes past what89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWo7ZbtcJv
Vander was comfortable with, but before he could say anything, Whitesun let his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AuZniwgqV
hand go. “I wanted to see what kind of person you were, Captain.”
“What have you discovered,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gryi36sOY
Warden?” Vander bit back.
“You are a principled man devoted89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoQoNPRSqv
to your goal of protecting those you love.” Whitesun smiled. “There is no way89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b8h6sFH4R
you would have killed your surrogate father, no matter what may have happened89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoGHWwbNuB
between the two of you.”
“You gained all that from shaking89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37XKij7bde
my hand?” Vander shook his head. “Excuse me if I don’t believe you.”
“No,” Whitesun laughed. “I got89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgSH4wiV2S
that from talking to your friends. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some damage89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoRHRP2cEN
control to do.” With that he excused himself by heading back up the stairs.
“If anyone can help you, it’s89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CHybatnGm
Malakai.” Cuvera smiled. “You protected us from the Serpents, now allow us to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhg83DtucV
help you.”
“Thank you.” Vander embraced his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlVisHLVTB
friend, though it wasn’t complete due to the bar standing between the two of89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj7kZz3lZB
them. “After this is done, I will devote my sword to you and you are alone.”
“To us, Vander.” Cuvera wrapped a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd20DOJf9Mr
possessive arm around his wife. “And our child who we are going to name for my89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpWGHIfn8l
father and your grandfather: Malcolm Charles Elan.”
“Or Mary Charlie Elan.” Kiara89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquAieXOnNH
interrupted. “If it’s a girl.”
“Either way, we want you to be its89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TR6RKc3OE
guard parent if anything were to happen to us.” Cuvera smiled. “Both you and89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBDqOwewmP
Eliza, even though she already agreed.” Vander was touched, but he knew that89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCKOwV97ls
there was still a lot of work to be done before that would become a reality.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMFGx446Go
Starting with him being released.
“Provided I am released, I will.”
“Excellent.” Cuvera grinned, but89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VhEGehsgL
after a moment, he became a little more serious. “I need you tell me everything89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaI96ywIAU
you can about this assassin who killed Humi. If someone this dangerous is in my89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfvysHUPOT
city, I need to know everything I can about them.”
“I didn’t know about them until my89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ganQ4EHy
attack on the Green Serpent base.” Vander explained. “I found a handwritten89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCiO5VZPmL
note that said that someone known as Fang was coming after me. I assumed they89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3gOAgtIja
didn’t know where I was because I didn’t end up with a knife in my side while I89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisIZZktFWs
slept. They must have picked me up somewhere then waited until I was distracted89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLDuWAtdV6
before coming after me. If it hadn’t been for Humi there was a chance, I would89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZBlcAJceN
be killed.”
“Any idea who they were?” Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2r0gYqeLy
shook his head.
“None, they wore both a mask and a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNJqgQlPOX
hood.” He explained. “However, they infiltrated a space that was protected by89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIL2RH9nrN
Humjir’s ability. Which,” he glared at Cuvera. “How is that possible? I thought89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwT2eCfjz5
only Malcolm, and now you, could use those powers?”
“It’s complicated, I don’t truly89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3WDlKj1yN
understand it myself.” Kiara placed her hand on Cuvera’s shoulder then89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu1c3lqgcR
whispered in his ear. “I’m sorry, but Kiara is tired. We must go but worry not.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS00V4ZyrT
We will get you out of this.”
“Are you going to stay?” He looked89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXajHNUCsJD
at Eliza. He didn’t know why, but he really didn’t want her to leave.
“Of course.” She grinned, holding89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTcPOIAgr6
up the cell keys. “I can’t let you out, but I can go in.” she placed the key89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6lyjGaW1C
inside the lock and turned it. The door popped open, so she allowed herself89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpNbPouY93
inside.
“I’ll come to let you out in the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hXFlJbs5T
morning.” Cuvera held his hand out for the keys, which she returned. “Enjoy89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6bHqwUiiU
yourself.” With that, Cuvera and Kiara left the room leaving the two of them89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mk9KlIl9x
together. For the first time in a long time, Vander felt tongue tied. He didn’t89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxpdBTdtfH
know what to do.
“Sit down.” Eliza sighed. “You89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYOiyxKndx
look like you’re about to fall over.” She sat down against the wall then patted89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkAVzQPzxq
the open spot next to her. Not sure what he should do, he sat down next to her,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ715jQEUat6
but made sure none of his body touched her. “Am I that repulsive that you won’t89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN1IWg4s4O
even touch me?” she sounded hurt.
“I’m sorry.” He spoke. “I’m just89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk2qdmiO0P
scared. For some reason I get nervous around you, like I don’t want to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdApOj0Expk
disappoint you. I’ve had plenty of partners, but this seems foreign to me.”
“I guess that’s to be expected.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrnhHK3z25
Eliza smiled. “I’ve known about you ever since I was young, so I’ve been89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTI9vwce9z
preparing for my entire life. But you just found out a couple of months ago and89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H9q6XcU1c
we never got to spend any sort of time together. So, for now, how about we just89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqEyY1BLjL
get to know each other and let this occur naturally?”
“You’d be okay with that?”
“Of course.” She spoke. “You can89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcufZE5q7Of
be completely honest with me; I won’t judge you Vander.” He hesitated, but he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaypyuqNZfi
didn’t feel any treachery in her words. It was time he became honest with89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi7tfIgAuM
someone other than Shea. It was time for him to be vulnerable.
“Are you sure you can handle it?”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6yk63axZx
he smiled. “You’d be my first actual relationship since getting dumped by89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVPwod4Rld
someone I wanted to marry. She left me for prestige and for someone I hate.”

“But if you asked me too, I’d punch her in the face for you.” He laughed and it89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd2nw0gl54
was the first real laugh he had had since his best friend’s wedding. Perhaps,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuDNxT9z9W
just for tonight, everything would be alright.
