FOREVER KNIGHTS: #15 Insatiable Beasts

BOOK FIFTEEN of the Forever Knight Series: Sabine’s eyes widened when she saw a billow of white light and inked words in Chavias’ thick script began flowing over the page. She leapt back but curiosity got the better of her and she eased back to the bedstand to read the words forming. This may be it. I can’t promise you I’ll come back. If you hear nothing more from me. Get my steed from the stable beyond the needle trees. Go to Mane. Hide from our enemy. Be safe, Sweet Woman. Know I’ve cherished every moment I stole, to be next to you. I fight now a man I cannot kill. A man I’ve no choice but to let steal my life to save his own. Taking him from this world would be too much for me to bear. Acharius looked at Chavias’ face and was somewhat surprised to see that the darker man’s face had crumpled at the sight of his former comrade. He doesn’t want to fight him. Acharius recognized. Due to past loyalties? Or fear Bast will win? “You’ve no more desire to kill Acharius then I do.” Bast commented. Stepping slowly toward them. A staying hand outstretched toward Chavias. Acharius felt the cold steel pressing into the column of his throat. He attempted to not be offended at the statement. “This blade on my neck seems to imply otherwise.” Acharius swallowed around the bit of metal. Feeling it dip into his kin at the motion.
