Chapter 7
After they were out of Alghan territory, Rubiel turned to the other three members of the Terra. "What do the rest of you think?" Tarik folded his arms. "I don't trust that king. Why would he want us to remove our weapons? Why did you stop me Rubiel? You should have let me shock his head right off his shoulders." Lightning crackled from Tarik's fingers.
"He was offering us a grand sum of money. I wouldn't want to pass up an opportunity like this." He looked over to the hulking man that stood next to him. "How about you, Abel? What do you think?" Abel shrugged his massive shoulders. "You are our leader Rubiel. Whatever you say, I agree with." Rubiel nodded his head towards the giant of a man. "And what of your brother? What does he think of all this."
Abel's brother, Serus, was five times smaller than the huge man. Even so, Abel had a strong emotional bond with his brother. He would kill a man with his bare hands if they had laid a hand on Serus. Serus strided beside them, riding on his Pegasus, Altair. He was stringing his bow when he heard the question being addressed to him. He looked up at Rubiel. "I think it was a rather grand idea. It was a large amount of money. I think that a simple mission like this is something we should not let loose."
Rubiel looked at Tarik. "Everyone else agrees with me. Why are you the only one who doesn't?" Tarik grunted and turned his head away. Rubiel smiled and looked around. "Well, we know where our target is heading. Why don't we cut him off?"
