Roxula's Bride - Thanks for pointing my mistakes out.
Her name is pronounced 'saleen'
Chapter Sixteen
Even days after, Valerious could not stop thinking about his son's last words to him. 'Then I will bring her back.' They echoed in his head. There was no way of bringing her back that he knew of. But knowing his son, he was quite capable to.
It annoyed him that he had let his son do something so unholy. He allowed his son to do a great evil. To bring the dead back. He let him go.
Valerious pondered with the thought of his son. He thought long about this and finally came to a decision. He called upon his most trusted knight, Gabriel Van Helsing.
Valerious sat in his chamber when Gabriel walked in. He stood in front of Valerious and went down on one knee. "You sent for me my lord?" He had a hint of concern in his voice.
Valerious stood up and had Gabriel stand up too. "Yes. Gabriel, I must ask you, my most trusted knight, to do a horrible task…" He walked over to a table were their was a sword laying on it. It was stained with blood. "Take this and kill Vladislaus, my son. It is stained with his lover's blood, now wash it with his." Valerious handed Gabriel the sword.
Gabriel was confused. Why would the elder have him kill his son. After all they were best friends. How could he kill his best friend. But, he was God's champion and would do whatever God's will said for him to do.
Slowly Gabriel accepted the Elder Valerious's request. He took the bloody sword from Valerious's hands and stared at it for a moment. The task he was requested to do was unbelievable.
Before Gabriel left Valerious stopped him once more. "Please don't forget to retrieve the ring." Gabriel nodded and left the room.
He rode as fast as he could that night to find his friend. Gabriel was sent to kill his best friend. Someone who he had fought with side by side and had protected so may times. Now to only know that it is by his hands, Vladislaus will die.
Even though the cold harsh winds, Gabriel rode. The snow was thick and near impossible to see through.
Gabriel was ordered to end the life of his friend, Vladislaus.
