Chapter 17 Grady's justice

Grady had walked into the base just as the sun rose. Draped over his shoulder was Sirus with a deep cut on his left side. Hester saw this and thought that he could still make his plan work. He ran up to where Grady was. Behind him were seven heavily armed paladins. Sirus tried to stand on his own but just stumbled being caught by one of the mercenary's. In the back of Hester's mind he was contemplating a new advantage.

He would have one of his paladin's take Sirus as if heading to the sick bay and finish the job Grady did on the way. Link on the other hand had contemplated that scenario. He pulled his sword and put it to Hester's throat. This sudden action caused the Paladin's to reach for their swords. But one little slice on the neck was enough to stay their hands. He said to the mercenary's, "Take Sirus to the sick bay and wait there." As soon as the mercenary's were in their way he turned to Hester. He said to Hester, "I know your game. The man with Theocratic power has the faith of the people and he can use it. You do not have the faith of the people. You have their fear. More than once have I received a letter asking me to come and kill you by the people whom you oppress." Hester looked taken aback at this but Grady continued. "I'm going to be nice here. There are three simple things that you can do to stop me from taking the generous offer I've been offered to take your head."

Hester stared at Grady and with a stoic face but with a quivering voice said, "Do you think I am afraid of your threats, sir? I will have you know that fear is not a word in my vocabulary."

Grady said, "In your vocabulary it might not be but your eyes betray it even now." Hester was again taken aback. "As I mentioned before, there are three things you can do to avoid getting my sword through your gut. One is that you never call a hit on me again. Secondly, you may keep your covetous eyes off the crown. I've your envious stare directed at the king. And lastly," his blade was once again at Hester's throat, "If you ever stare at Malon in lust again, Whatever death I give you will far worse than if you were to break the other two." He resheathed his blade and walked away past Hester. One paladin tried to draw his blade on Grady. His hand rested on the sword while the arm it was attached to was being held by it's owner who crying and rolling on the ground. And Grady just kept walking towards the sick bay.

R&R. Short I know. But I've been busy.
