The Heroic Legend Of Ianthe Chapter 6

Under a heavy warningt the Slaver relinquished the location to a Lusitanian prisoner being held in a separate area. Just like before the Attendant insisted on accompanying her despite Ianthe's own objections.

"They're such a barbaric people. This was a bad idea, Your Highness," he said, apprehensive. "If something were to happen to you-."

Unafraid and steadfast in her decision, Ianthe said "I'm not a total fool, you know. I shall be more careful in the future. There's no need to patronize me. Besides I know you would act in my defense should anything unseemly occur."

Now that isn't entirely truthful. Yes, the Attendant wears a sword on his belt, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's that good at wielding it.

As they the two turn a corner to where the slave is being kept at holding danger is afoot in the vicinity.

A thud is heard and then a yell.

"H-Help me!"

A hand on the hilt of his blade, the Attendant said "My Princess, please remain here."

The Attendant then rushes in as Ianthe keeps her distance to learn what is going on.

Some furs drying in the sun blocked the Attendants view so he didn't see the Lusitanian slave that is a young boy bulldozing out of there using one of the three boys from the parade as a shield until too late. The Lusitanian shoved the frightened kid into the Attendant and used him as leverage to become airborne. From behind his back the Lusitanian had a large heavy pot which he proceeded to drive into the Attendants head, rendering him unconscious once his back hit the ground.

"Enough! Stop that right now," ordered Ianthe, darting in there, intent on stopping this senseless violence.

Stealing the Attendants sword the Lusitanian grabs the 1st boy in a headlock and leveling the edge of the blade at his neck in a threatening manner.

"One more step and I'll kill him," said the Lusitanian viciously.

He means it, too. Ianthe can clearly see that by the unwavering and blazing fire in his eyes. Ianthe needs to diffuse this situation before it gets out of hand further.

Holding her hands up placating, Ianthe said "There's no need to be hasty. There's no call for you to hurt this boy. Would you maybe consider releasing him?"

Snickering, the Lusitanian said "Yeah, why not? I'll let him go, but on one condition. You take this place."

All right that's not exactly what Ianthe has in mind, but…

Ianthe's eyes travel over the immobile Attendant and the three frightened children, one of which is in grave danger should she do nothing.

Nodding, steeling herself, Ianthe said "Agreed."

This is definitely turning into an interesting outing. Not at all going as she expected it to be.

Authors Note:

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it! ;D

My readers have been begging me for a while to get an update for this one up. After a suitable amount of writers block and inspiration for other works on my profile I can finally give you something to satisfy it.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I saw the new movie Avengers Endgame on the big premiere night! Oh man, I couldn't believe it. I am so happy they didn't cut anything, actually make and keeping the three hours running time. There was so much going on that it probably would've ruined it if they did that.

I need your shared opinions.

In light of Avengers Endgame, in preference to my Rise Of The Snow Queen series, what do you all think of a one-shot or flashback chapter for in between where Loki is with Thanos before he heads to Earth?

Here's the idea I'm trying to get at maybe Loki catches a glimpse of his sister on Jotunheim. Because in Rise Of The Snow Queen 2 he makes it very clear that he already knows she's a Queen. So maybe that can be very suitable this time around for our girl.

So, what do all of you hardcore Avengers fans think?

Should I do it?
