Chapter ten

Graham had awakened late the following day. He knew he was awake because he could hear the voices of various people around him. Next to him a flap of wings and a light squawk from scourge met his ears. He was resting on the arm of Chase whom Scourge took a liking to. Graham rose from the pillow resting under him and immediately tried to find his staff. Pent walked up to him with the staff in hand. He rested it in the blind man's hand. Hector was first to speak. "Before we question you, we would like to know if you are hungry." Graham shook his head. "Okay then. Please tell us why you wanted to get your hands on Lady Lyndis Caelin."

Graham answered, "Lord Revlin had told me that she was an assassin sent by enemies of the Lycian League. He told me to bring her alive so that he could question her about who employed her. He said that she was in the company of Black Fang members on the road to Ostia."

Hector said, "That is true. She was in the company of the Black Fang. They were recently hired as road patrollers. They pose as bandits in the woods to catch unscheduled caravans as to stop smugglers, slave traders, and weapons dealers."

Lyn asked, "You knew I was with them? How come is it that Revlin didn't know of them?"

Raven answered, "Because it was a decision using the special political favor called 'Free Rule.' What it is, is a law made that allows every leader of the Lycian League to make a decision without consequence for his or her said decision. Lord Hector used his to give the black fang a second chance as protectors of the Lycian borders."

Graham then said, "But I thought that the Black Fang were ruthless killers. Why would you give them a second chance?"

Hector said, "For the same reason that we are giving you a second chance. They, like you, were mislead to believe something as the truth when really you were being used by false pretenses. As it stands, If we didn't give you the benefit of the doubt, You would not be here at the moment. You would be in the dungeon."

Graham then said, "Lord Revlin can't be evil. He just can't be. You must be deceiving me."

Naomi, leaning on a pair of crutches, used them to move herself over to Graham and sat down on the bed that he was sitting on. She placed her hands over his eyes and said, "We can show you that we do not deceive." Immediately, he began to see through her eyes. He saw everyone in the room. He saw Pent who was standing next to Canas right across from where he stood. In the corner of the room he noticed Raven with Serra. He saw Halbern and Kessler standing by the window and then he noticed Scourge on the shoulder of the small girl Chase. Lastly he saw Hector who was holding Lyn's hand. Naomi then asked, "Do you see anything deceitful about us?"

Graham said, "I have never been able to see before now but I can say without a doubt that just by looking at you I can see no hint of bad will. Then Lord Revlin did lie to me. Tell me young one. If one cannot see the memory can you make it out?"

Naomi said, "It will take some time. Why?"

Graham said, "Lord Revlin said that he tried to save my mother from a murderer. I want to know what really happened. Can you do that?"

Naomi said, "If that is your wish. But I warn you now. Sometimes, those kind of memories can hurt you more than help you." He didn't care. So she said, "Everyone else leave. This will take a few hours." They all left the room.

Outside in the hall Lyn was staring at her father the entire time. For the first time in a long time she saw him and she didn't have anything to say to him. He felt the same way about her. He had so much to explain and he wouldn't even talk to her. Again Hector broke the silence. "Lord Kessler? Lyn? I think that the both of you should talk in a private room and catch up. Therefore I ask you use my study." He handed the key to Lyn and walked away. Lyn and Kessler headed down stairs to the room.

Meanwhile at Lord Revlin's castle, There was a man hanging from his ankles in the dungeon. He was an Ostian spy who had made his way down into Revlin's private room. He was captured by the Dark Druid called Vex, Revlin's personal bodyguard. Luckily the spy managed to get a message about what he had seen in the bowels of the castle before his capture.

Revlin walked into the room carrying many hooks and whips. He saw the spy and said, "I hope you know how to scream. Do you like the chains? They were the same as the ones I used on my father while I tortured him to death. They are also the ones I used to tie my ugly mother down while I raped her. She may not have been much in the face but she did have a beautiful body." He laughed. "They will also serve the same purpose on Lady Lyndis. I'll use them to hold her down every night while I pleasure myself in her. Her screams will echo through the castle at night causing my never ending arousal on her."

The man spit at the ground. He said, "Shut up and do what you're going to do before I die of listening to you talk." Revlin put on a maniacal grin and walked over to the man. His screams echoed through the night and most of next day. Before he tossed from the castle and into a river to be left for dead.

R&R. I would like to ask that you please review some of my other fics. I'm starting to think that they are lost causes.
