The Verdict
Arguing was all I could hear. Raziel was actually raising his voice to Kain for maybe the first time. I couldn't help but feel happy that he was sticking to my side. He was doing so even though I had more then one gift. Did he like me?
The question was almost absurd to even have crossed my mind. And yet. it was true. I have fallen for him then maybe that is why. I couldn't say anymore for the silence in the room caught my attention. Dreadful thoughts coursed through my head of what might be my last day.
"Child Rise, for a Verdict has been reached." Lord Kain commanded. I rose from the floor and looked at everyone there. Ahem! Kain cleared his throat and began.
"Though you were born with more then one gift, the sentence hear would on a normal occassion be the abyss. However! Seeing as you saved my son with that gift, I here-by pardon you of the crime." Lord Kain spoke. Throughout the room everyone clapped. Kain raised a hand to silence the clapping and everyone incuding me looked to him.
"Now that one problem has been fixed, the next can be attended to." I wanted to hear more but I was led out of the room by Duma.
"You know who their going to be talking about, right!" Duma asked.
"Turel!?" I asked. Duma nodded.
"There is already been a verdict. Their just finallizing it right now."
"What do mean?" I asked.
"He is being sentenced to death. And for a number of reasons." Duma replied.
"The Abyss?" I asked. Duma only nodded. I wanted to ask him what the other reason might be but I was cut off by the Kain's booming voice from the room we had exited.
"Anything else I should know, Duma?" Duma nodded and replied with a little sarcasm.
"You get to throw him over the edge all by yourself" Duma snickered.
Crossing my arms I gave him my mean look. He only laughed. I wanted to say something more but the doors to Kain's thrown room opened.
"It is time." Kain looked at me and nodded. I was the one to throw Turel to his death. I know it is wrong but the rules in Nosgoth have to be obeyed. It's just like saying, 'if we had rules but nobody followed them, then the rules would be nothing but a waist of words.' (or something like that anyways.)
I was led to a chamber where a battered and beaten, Turel lay on the floor. His wounds had not healed due to a lack of food which was blood. I was signaled by Kain to pick Turel up and drag him to his death. As I did so I came to realize just maybe why he had attacked his brother.
Turel was sorte of the middle child among his brothers therefore he was well ignored. Now that he was getting attention, it must be total nostalgia to him. Turel was going to his death but so would his children. It was true I didn't have a clan yet, but hopefully that would change after todays events.
The rocky ground made me aware that we would be reaching the Execution grounds very soon. Mountain Range on either side of me was almost enough to make a person claustrophobic.(afraid of being in closed spaces.) The sounds of rushing water reached my ears. The further we went forward the louder the sound.
Kain was in front and the brothers to Turel were in back of me. I was the monkey in the middle. Finally, we had reached the Execution Grounds and in nick of time, too. Turel was coming to, and he didn't seem at all happy that he was in this place at all. I'm sure he was hoping to have one last meal but for his crimes. there would be no exceptions.
Kain motioned for me to stop in the middle of the lonesome rock pedestal. Turel was starting to struggle but I held on lest he try to run at his father, Lord Kain.
Lord Kain walked up to the very edge of the rock we were standing on. He looked down into the pit and closed his eyes. Was he praying? Or was there something more to this then I was actually seeing. Finally, after opening his eyes, he walked away from the edge and looked away.
"Cast him in!"
Turel was trying very hard to get me off of him. However, because he was weakened before hand, there would be no problem for me. I dragged him to the edge and all the way he yelled for his brothers to stop me. It wasn't working though. With one good heft of my muscles I lifted Turel into the air and threw him over the edge.
"NOOOOoooooooooooo.... 'splash'"
Please don't flame me!!! Besides there is going to be a surprise in the next chapter so don't miss it.. I wonder if someone would consider this as a cliffhanger.. (
