the Guard
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 24534
|
The two captives heard sounds from the long end of the infirmary. Even in
their almost immobile positions they saw that a Guard was walking their
way. The Guard was female and only half-human. She stood some two meters
tall, was wirey in frame, and had the slanted eyes, the sharp ears and
sharp fingers of the Elven Race. She wore an armor that amazed both the
Allarian and the Aqualarian: it fitted her body most impressively - a
better work than all the smiths of either nation could ever accomplish.
The metal was violet in hue and from it, sewed into chainlets, flowed
silks the color of goldenrod and wheat. Upon her waist hung a scimitar,
decorated with only one black jewel.
"Female," she said at Astra. "You fight nearly as well as a DarkElf acolyte, few humans ever receive such a compliment. The Master has plans for you, your body shall heal in time, but the Master wishes your time to be quick. Do not fight us, you shall fail. Be one with us, and your life shall be renown throughout the Dominion and beyond." Thoughts of fame swirled throughout the Amazon's head. She saw herself at the head of a band, a garrison, no... an army of warriors who fought at her command. She-- she blinked her eyes in astonishment. "Weye ju bish! Whakeyenduh mazhic ju pootin on me?" The Guard only laughed and laughed. Then she turned to Fred. "Knight from the northlands," she began. "It was good to see that you would kill anyone in your way, just to reach your goal. Perseverance and the guts to make the hard choices, these are goodly traits." "Doen lissen tu her!" yelled Astra from her bedside. The Guard continued. "Why fight what you cannot win? The Master is far more grander than any lingwyrm, the Master is One with the Universe." "Cuvver yer earssss... sheeesssss bewishin ju!" "Silence wench!" said the Guard. Immediately the bandages about her head constricted of their own accord, a few stray layers reaching up with eerie self-will to her mouth, covering it with precision.
