- A small noise at the door made him turn to see his young
son standing there with tears in his eyes. "It’s all right Julian." Zac
said, trying to keep the alarm out of his voice, and wondering where Marta

- What a frail life she lived. Never knowing when the enemy
might find her and snuff out her existence. She was seventeen. Some said

you must. No one will know. If you ever tell, I will come back and kill
you, your family and the young woman and her family too."

I am a princess and one of the top knights in my class. Therefore, I am
a woman. The difference between us Scarlett, is that you are an old woman!"

- Suddenly a chill touched her flesh. A feeling of foreboding
so strong and vile that it seemed to darken the room. Replacing the pleasant
feelings of love and passion. A flood of doubts and fears consumed her.
Could she trust Raven Blackwing? Had he really changed? Or was it her passion
that blinded her to his faults? Did he have some diabolical plot against
the throne or her personally? Did he have an ax to grind? Was he out to
settle an old?

- Sinking down in a chair Venom buried her face in her hands.
Not only did she have her subjects, best friend and lover to worry about,
but now her daughter. Perhaps the hardest part of war was the waiting...
and worrying......
