"Drop your weapons or she dies..."
Rhane's voice vibrated through the grounds and ears of everyone gathered. It wasn't a twist any of them expected, from fighting for a woman to holding her as captive.
The confusion on Master Brown's face was enough to speak for the soldiers that stood confused.
"I thought he was smitten by her?" one of the council members asked.
Kali paused in her steps and turned, holding a soldier that had tried to attack her at an arm's length.
"Keep it down, you'll die now or sooner," she muttered to the confused man that struggled to stab her. "Brother, are we dropping them or not?" Kali asked with a serious look on her face.
The entire place became still, everyone's attention now on Rhane and Jenna. It was art come to life, It was a tableau carved in shadow and fire, a tragedy caught mid-breath.
