Guess who's back? Back again? No, totally kidding, but seriously this man's got issues. His issues have issues.
Chapter XXXVIII Behind Enemy Lines
Interesting news had made its way to him during the night. The young Mord'Sith, the girl, she was indeed a Confessor as well. Torren had heard rumors of the hybrid but refused to acknowledge such heresy. He had seen what she and the other Mord'Sith had done to his men at the lake. The thought made his blood boil. They would pay dearly for their crimes against such just and righteous men. He knew the Confessors were mad, but to allow a Mord'Sith into their ranks was preposterous. Perhaps it was simply because there were only two left in the world. Perhaps the Mother Confessor had grown anxious to continue their line. Either way, it didn't matter to him. His plan had begun with the destruction of the Mord'Sith but adding a Confessor or two to that list would simply be a bonus. Torren smiled at thought of placing a Rada'Han around the Confessors' necks and making them suffer. Realizing where he was, he turned to more serious thoughts.
"Are the men prepared?" he asked Alek once more.
"Yes, my lord. They await your orders." The small man confirmed.
"Well tell them they won't have to wait long." Torren smiled. "The time is rapidly approaching to exterminate these women."
"All of them?" Alek asked, slightly disappointed.
"Maybe not all of them, my dear Alek. Perhaps we will keep a few for… entertainment purposes." Torren's mind went to the three Mord'Sith he had managed to kidnap and torture. None of them had revealed anything, much to his dismay, but the memory of causing them so much pain made him sweat.
"Fantastic idea Lord Torren." Alek was nearly jumping with glee. What a sick man, Torren thought to himself and chuckled. He pulled down the hood of his cloak as he and Alek made their way past a group of guards. How blissfully oblivious they were. Simply because the Keeper and Darken Rahl had been defeated, they thought there was no more danger at hand. Under his rule, guards would never be this slack. He dipped his head to a blonde-haired officer who smiled in return as he made his way towards the center of the city of Aidyndril.
I've begun to contemplate how long this story might be & I don't believe it will exceed 50 chapters. Like I said, I know the ending I'm working towards but any ideas along the way are VERY helpful. I loove knowing what you guys want to see & I can't do it unless you tell me. REVIEWREVIEWREVIEWREVIEWREVI EWREVIEW & I'll love you forever.
