Chapter 7
First I would like to apologize for my lack of updates and I would like to thank everyone that reviewed. Each review makes my day and drives me to keep writing.
It was early, very early. The sun had barely cleared the horizon when it was time to leave. It was a week since Crowley's briefing and we had made all the preparations necessary for a lengthy sea voyage. We were going to meat Ishea and then double back to pick up Horace and Alyss. Gilian was staying at the castle, meaning he got an extra half hour of sleep. "Will, wasn't Selethan a popular Wakir?"
He considered the question for a moment, "Well… yes fairly popular but the decision to sell horses to us was a controversial one. And it only takes an upset minority with weapons to put an end to someone. Also we heard wild reports surrounding the assassination, saying there were explosions from sticks."
"An exploding stick", I said, "never heard that one before."
" The reports say that the sticks blew up the entire building. But as you know…"
"reports are never to be taken at face value."
"come on", Will said, Lets try to reach Ishea before the suns fully up."
I groaned but asked Coconut for a faster pace. We reached Ishea's house just before the sun cleared the horizon. "Do we have time for coffee," I heard Ishea say as she walked out of the house with three steaming mugs.
"There is always time for coffee," Will said. The coffee was delicious and Will said, "Wait until you taste the stuff they make in Aradia. Its like nectar of the Gods!"
