There was a green flash to the right of Harley.
Mesiaha drew her sword and held it ready.
I took a step backwards and glared at Kilji as he materialized in front of us.
“Jasylin.” the old man smiled an evil grin.
A bright flash of blue was to my left as Jonothan appeared. “Why you here?” he questioned sharply.
“I came to revive Othesis Castle.” the old lecher looked at me, and I could feel his impure thoughts.
“Den why you here?” Jonothan walked in front of me to block Kiji’s stare. “Dis look like Othesis to you?”
“I need a small force for protection from Sertoff. He’s outside the gate, he’s already killed the new recruits of the Haven Guard. The High Knights wont stand against him. We need someone to stop him from destroying the villagers, or at least distract him from killing me while I do my work in the castle.” Kilji explained. “And take the girl, someone must stop the massacre. Sertoff protects no one, except her.”
Jonothan shifted his weight. This was the last thing he wanted to do. Take her to Sertoff, deliver her, like a good little soldier. Every time Sertoff saw her, he drew her closer and closer to him, like he was giving her the power to stop him. Giving her power… Or was he taking it.
“Fine.” Jonothan said after a few moments.
He enveloped us in a flash of blue, now I was suspended above the fighting.
I was almost aghast at the sight. The entire Othesis Guard filled the moat surround the castle. There was no water in the moat, it was solid corpses for as far as you could see.
Sertoff stood back near the closed drawbridge to the castle, his soldiers in grey fighting against what looked to me like the people of Dosta at the end of the bridge near the road to the village.
“You gonna loose, Mercenary.” Jonothan’s eyes glowed. “You gonna loose so bad it look like wat happen back on Moonbeam a child’s sweet dream.” He walked above the fighting, “You remember dat time? When Lilah come runnin ta me, beggin me ta stop it all, beggin for yo’r pathetic life. When de Underworlders had you down three to one, and Daemon was slowin down. No powers workin d’ere, you only had you ta depend on and you was loosin. You remember how she gave herself to me in de most selfless way, to save yo’r worthless hide.”
