Two chapters in one hour, yay for coffee!!!! mmmm.......coffee........

"God damn it! Shit!" The cuss word sounded wrong somehow in that high, almost melodic voice. "Damn it all to hell! How is this happening?! I am the only silver tongue, the very last!" The ranting man paused briefly only to catch his breath,
"Please, calm! There is surely a reasonable explanation," This was Ironstone; he had stayed with Orpheus where-as his brother had gone with that dratted boy, Farid. Orpheus was far beyond reason though,
"Calm?! How can you say that when the words I have so carefully been weaving is coming apart at the seams," here he almost choked on his words, so flustered was he that there may be a rival for the title of 'The last Silver Tongue'. Ironstone cowered behind an inkwell, terrified that he may be thrown against the wall. Again. This was not the first time that an un-known person had sabotaged his plans. This time he had conjured up a sort of wear-wolf type creature, but bigger. He had intended to send it after the remaining robbers and he had specifically said, as clear as day, "yet this creature was of pure darkness, not of flesh and blood, this meant it could be controlled by none other than the last true silvertongue, the most powerful silvertongue." These words had backfired, for, as it would seem, there was a more powerful silvertongue calling the shots and laughing behind his back. The second the thought entered his whirling mind, he prepared to hurl something breakable against the nearest wall, he thought of something else. He could still read and write. He could trap whatever inferior being thought they could get away with messing up his story. A cruel smirk of triumph plastered itself across his pale face, and Ironstone shrank lower in fear.
"Ironstone! Get me parchment, sharpen my quills and stir the ink, I've got an idea…"

Deep underground, a way away from Orpheus' royal chambers, Meggie felt a distinct shiver dance down her back and chill her insides.

Getting better? Horrific? Should I throw it out the window, on fire? Please review!
