"Don't you go and slip on your misplaced pride", replied Swift back, not really caring about the insult. Though that one in particular hurt more than any other.

It was exactly the same thing that she said...

On the evening before his supposed execution, the widow of the man he had killed had visited him. Those had been her exact words. Her hatred of him had been so great that she didn't care about watching his execution. She just wanted him... gone... out of her life.

''Hope you die in your sleep... ''

He shrugged. If only I had been so lucky...

Yet when the moment finally came and he faced the executioner's block for the first time, he didn't know what came over him. He thought that perhaps he was self-confident and brave, but when the tool of his demise had been right there before his very eyes... he had become frightened. He hadn't wanted to die. He had only thought so. It would have been easier for everyone. The man's widow would have been able to rest easy, knowing that the killer of her husband and father of her children was a head shorter and had his mug mounted on a spear outside the jailor's keep. Yet when faced by the headsman's axe, he was taken with fear and pleaded for his life. Maybe the Gods had thought that his punishment should be lengthened, for they heard his plea by letting a Beast Slayer be present amongst the crowd of spectators. The Beast Slayer had intervened and claimed his life as her own, pledging him to the cause of the Beast Slayers for life.

Ever since that moment he didn't know whether he should love Myrdana for having done so, or whether he should despise her. Nevertheless, he respected her.



"So", said Ra'Kissi, motioning to Ran'Jinro's cloak once they got inside to a small kitchen. "A Beast Slayer, huh?"

Ran'Jinro scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah", he said. "Was sort of my only chance to survive out there..." He eyed her for a moment. "Is... Ran'Jakho still... still around?"

Ra'Kissi nodded. "He will be home soon." She glanced over at Raini. "You a Beast Slayer as well?"
