Chapter 6

Triss couldn't believe his actions

As he dried Wren's tears

Not only because he was actually doing it

But because she was letting him

Triss moved his hand away

But Wren caught it deftly

As his hand neared hers

The one Triss had longed to hold

His eyes widened slightly

As Wren moved their hands

Toward her face again

To turn her cheek into his hand

Before Triss could do anything

He heard a noise from the window

Like the shoes of a human

"Excellent! Now I can torture her even more!"

Tib Arne jumped into the room

Holding a strange weapon

It looked like a staff

Yet it was made of metal

"I have waited a long time for this,

Wren Elessidil"

Said Arne as he raised his weapon to his shoulder

"You will get what you deserve for denying me"
