Seeking Truth In Dark Places
Sunday, September 28, 2008
Shadow and I had gone as far as we could without thoroughly exhausting our horses. Yet when we stopped to make camp for the night, we were surrounded by a small brigand of thugs who meant to lighten our burdens a wee bit. Though I am sure it did not help that neither of us had all that much in our possession to begin with.


Shadow attacked them with a blinding speed of dexterity, leaving all but one caught in his headlock. "What shall I do with him," he queried, seeming as if it might please Shadow to end the man's life on the spot.

Yet I have no desire to leave one dead nor even destitute for simple revenge. I took but one of the man's eyes from him. He screamed in remorse as Shadow held him fast.. as well as his own bile from rising. Yet it was necessary.

"Let him go, Shadow," I said quietly. My attention lay now on the man's eye as I held it up to the moonlight in the palm of my hand. It was my intention to see, if possible.. what sort of tangle my former bride may have gotten herself into. If any at all.
