Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Regin's Evil
Despite being somewhat pathetic, Regin was evil in his own right. Having been after his brother's gold since it had first come into Albaykh's possession, he had quit the company of women for no other reason than his own personal greed.
His raising of Zygebat had not been out of the kindness of his heart. He just needed someone to slay Kaheal and once Kaheal was dead, if Zygebat still lived then Regin would slay the exhausted youth and take the gold.
Once Regin could strike Zygebat without any retaliation. But Zygebat was no longer a child and Regin was not a capable fighter. He would need a way more underhanded to slay the young Evabon.
"Do you wish to know glory, Zygebat?" asked Regin.
"Glory?" asked Zygebat. "I have never heard the word. What is it?"
"It is high renown won by notable achievements." Stated Regin.
"Then I would wish to know it!" Said Zygebat. "But how might I know it in this forest?"
"I know places that even you do not." Stated Regin. "Do you know of Kaheal?"
"The Labinnac whose greed turned him into a lindworm." Said Zygebat. "What is it that makes gold so fascinating? It is just yellow rocks and metal! The toys of fools!" Even with a lack of Evabon company Zygebat had the Evabon opinion of gold. That was what they thought of it. They could not fathom why those of other races had interest in the stuff.
"The gold might not interest you…" said Regin, leaving out the fact that he had long coveted it. "But I must say that many have tried to slay Kaheal and had failed! Do you not wish to succeed where they have failed?"
"But if I should fail just as they!"
"You fail? Screw your courage to the sticking place and you shall not fail!"
"I need a sword!"
"I have repaired the sword of your father!" stated Regin. "With it you will succeed where you father failed!"
