None of these characters belong to me. I have nothing! You would have no interest in suing me!
Chapter 2
Belgarion took one look at Silk, drawn and pale, then dismissed the guards and with a flicker of his fingers he dismissed the four reliable spies he knew of and told them to make sure there were no interruptions.
"You missed one" Silk said. "At the upper right corner of the room. There's a small hole with an ear near it." With a slight scurry, the spy vacated the listening spot.
Belgarion looked at Silk carefully and asked, "What just happened? None of the guards told me the story."
"Brill's what happened."
"What? But isn't he dead?"
"Apparently not."
"Do you think that he's got any malice to me?" Garion asked carefully.
"No he seemed only to be pissed off at me because I ruined his body and looks."
"He didn't have much to begin with though did he?" Garion joked. But Silk did not laugh like he should have. He just looked at Garion, his eyes speaking volumes about the seriousness of the nature. Instead of answering, he moved on to a slightly different subject.
"I only have a little while to get back into shape. And I need to make sure that those I love most are watched over. This means you, Barak, Mandorallen, Urgit, Lelldorin, maybe even your grandfather and aunt. That also includes your wives."
"But I have to run Riva. There's no way that Brill could get in again. I'll have every guard on watch," Garion stated.
"I don't think that it would be enough to keep him from getting in."
"Well Silk, where do you suggest we go? If we go to any other Citadel, were sure to be find out."
"That I don't know."
"If he said that he was going meet you here that you should stay. We won't have to worry about him wanting revenge on the rest of us. You'll be here to keep him company."
"Thanks," said silk, far into the spectrum of sarcasm.
