DeadnotSleeping
Nervous Wreck
“Facing the wall” I instruct. “And pull in that tongue before I make you bite it. Quickly.”
I adjust my sword, then lean to check on my lord. He is still sleeping, if you can call this sleep… he is too pale, still. Makes me worried, even if his fever is really dropping… I sigh, pulling up my steel gloves.
“Well. Time out until I get back. And no sweets with lunch. I’d make you recite the punishment verse, but I doubt you know it…”
I step out to the corridor, hurrying down to the gates. I remove the barricade I constructed, quickly, efficiently, and leave the building.
I am busy with emptying my patient steed’s saddle when I hear the noises… I look up, just to see the small herd of monsters approaching on the street. I sigh, putting down the pack and gripping my sword.
There are only six of them. Only one of them with a distorted head… and I’m in full armour. The boys could bear a few extra minutes of punishment. I grin under my helmet.
Let them come…
