"When, when he first showed up he was after my knife, but he tried to run away with my staff."When, when he first showed up he was after my knife, but he tried to run away with my staff." "This staff?" Aaden asked, picking it up off the ground. Kitty nodded. "Did he say anything?" Aaden continued. Kitty nodded and repeated what the Elahedrel had said. Aaden said "May I see your knife, M'Lady?" Kitty nodded again and handed it to Aaden. He looked at it closely in the darkness. "Get me a light," he said to the guard. The guard returned with a small black bag. Aaden took it and dismissed him. He opened the bag and removed a small, glowing ball. "Now then," he said, examining the knife more closely. After a few minutes he said, "Kitty, come with me." He led her a distance away from both Pendor and the horses. "Do you know what you carry?" he asked. |
