Destiny's Decree by Wesley Russon (christmas read aloud .TXT) 📕

to not show up here at all. Some of the workers were begining to think that Blade had lost it, but when he didnt say another word, they thought that things were normal.
As soon as the noise began again, Blade continued his conversation in a quieter tone of voice. "May be we should find a quieter place to have this discussion sir." Blade glared at Roger " what did I tell you about calling me that?" "Ummm...umm you said that you would kill me" blade smiled at this "so why did you call me that?" "My bad blade"Roger manged o stamer out. Joe reached for the tankerd of mead "May I have some" he asked in a shaky tone. Blade's nod was barely noticable, and most of the table gave joe a look that told him not to get any mead. When Joe ignored them they all gasped at him, like they all thought that he was a dead man. and when Blade did nothing to stop him, they were all flabergasted. It was like the world had frozen, the table went quiet once again. "your idea is a good one have this discotion in privet but they won't let me tack the mead up stares." wisperd Blade now you all had the the basic traning right." they all noded there heads. blade smiled at them all "good then I have no need to go over that guy for the next five years or so ill be your new teacher and during this time i'll tell all you need to know." he smiled like a littel kid about to do some thing incredbly dangers and stuped. Then picked up the tankerd of mead and drank the whole thing in one swig.

After two day of siting there in the forest with Silve. The other elves had returned with the news that he could see the lord of the nineth house.they set off at once Silve being the one to wtch drack more the not. for max seemed to be in aww of the forest around him. 'why not thout' Silve 'it is a butiful place let him look on in wondre at the land of my kin. besides id like to learn more of this child so named Drake. Man couldent Max at least come up with a better name. Or was that the work of your father. witch by all acunts he was an exlent man and the beast assassin this world had ever seen. of coures in the long tim that your father had livedhe was more then an
assassin wasnt he? To bad you will ever get to know him dear childe.' silve thout then smiled a sad smile.
After a nother few days of travel the had reached the clering to witch the meeting was to tack place. there was all rady a lavish tent set up in the clearing not far a way. made of elven silkes and whit as the snow that fall in the winter. th flage stood on eather side of the the entreance witch lead in to the tent. the emblumes of the nineth house clearly showning on them the bright red cloth fro witch they where made all most litarly poping out from the tent. then max was called in side it wolud be sveril hours before he came back out . as all way he leaft drake behind. silve looked at drake. " your father should have picked a better gardean to razie you drake"
He the fallowed Max in side the tent the meating had all ready started but hs uncel seemed to notic his entrance and then looked at both letters in his hands to contiue reading them his long dark brown hair tide in a neat littel pony tail. He looked up agin to look at Drake. The in a loud clear voice with a littel athority he said is this the chiled in qeustion Max is this Drake?" it took a while for max to figer out what he was talking about for he did not relize that silve had enterd the tent with Drake "yes it is" then the lored of the elveish lord spoke agin. "you know max your not very creative with names I mean drake why not... I don't know some thing a littel more elvish." "I agree my lord any one who know of his heriteg is going to get it Relly Max could come up with a better name for him."silve cut in every one in the tent lafed at this for elves love creativity "any way as for his powers whene he discovers. Them you may seend him to my city well tech him to control, fight and even defend him self with them. Are we agreed then Brother Max or is there more you wish to dicuse with us."
he said sitting up perfictly strate thuse trueing max of balince agin nowing that elves love fun they can go from be nice and fun to deadly sirous in an instant latter. "well your magisty
as for his name no matter what name I thout up. My mind keept going back to Drake any way it quit fitting. There is one thing his father asked that he know nothing of his own
involment in the assassin guild. And that no one in the guiled knows of his exsitence that is all my lord." "Ok tack the chiled back to town and we will set up an ancampment neer the edge of the woods. And seeing as how you and silve are such grate frindes he will be stastiond there." silve sputerd at this but my lord my time off garding the edge of the forst draws neer. And im set to be maryed in a month I can't do it!" "silenc!" shoted the lord as he glared coldely at Silve "It will be as I say and if She whant to still mary you then she may go with you a long with fifty others for even under Maxs care the boy needs to be safe. the gulld is not to be under estmated got that. And you must reman unditected as well for if they cath wind that we are camped neer the edge of are home land they. will send some to whatch us for only us and the dwarven nation can with stand ther might not to mention there nubmbers grow at grate rate. All the new recutis not bound to the old code they are indeed crupted. and if the get there hand on him there now telling what the could do. Or how much they really know about blades powers. He been wroking for the guild for a long time seeing as he was there at its benging." Every one went silnt with in the tent the authority for witch the elven lord could speak was aww.. inspiring. "Yes my lord" Silve responded.

"Now you nine have been stuck at the out post far frome the actual keep. This post only holds two hundred men means will be less likely that the councel will notice any thing amies. but harder to get my daughter back but easeyer to train you. One I killed the man that was to be your mentor there. And sence he was a new arivel there to now one will no the difince. long as wher a good discues and you call me buy his his name. ok you leve for your new home in five days. Andin five years we will strike hard and fast you grab my chiled I'll go for the evidence got it guys." Blade said in his ushuel way as if it was all going to be that easy to do. They all stared at him as if he where nuts. "Blade if I may ask why do we get the chiled and you the evidence." Blade lafed agin becuse they dont know i know of her exstenci the have less grarded the the evedence that and one of you will be come her gardian i got a filling that im not go to suced they know moren about me then I wish to admit. and I dont whant her dead they will us her aginst me at the first sing of trubule haveing nine of go after her is more likely going to suscsed then if i whent after her and they don't know your with me. yet you canget closer to her then me. with out notice that is. any other questions then?"
"Do you think she be alive by then?" kim asked her eyes closed hair tide up in two pony tails hand folded across her lap the assissn sute fit losely on her. a few wepons hiden in it. blade new where they where of coures. Every one looked at her as if she didnt know what they where even talking about. "Duh" responded joe his green eyes seeming to betray his gulit a moment later. As he looked at Kim katelin noticeing this blushed in anger at this her black banges covering her face. Hid this frome them for all but Blade noticed this action
'Ah young love' he thout to him self then winked at her macking her blush more. Kade glanced at the door to the room witch Blade had been useing the last week or so the looked at them agin floor boreds creeked at he turen his head in the direction at this brow eyes giveinh hint to his feer. he pulled his hood up over his head to hide his face so that any one spying on them. would have harder time recognizing him. Every one now busy and deep in conversation did ot bothre to tacke note. Blade motioned fror them to the fire place. withch was made of simpli stone and helld in place by dry mud. They all moved there chars over the same stile that all the chars in this place. fire dieing low as the did so. Yes Kim she will be alive fore they will mack shuer of that until they can find out what im up to. And stop looking so nervos" he wispered. Now I blieve it time you all whent back to the keep befor they send a sherch party fore you. just as they all where geting reafy to leav.

Karirst at the lead "look at thies loosers guys. is this the inn you guys have been visting so much. they all sit here talking in secret like the roten apples they are." he let out an evel chucle. conspireing with the enamy guys now thats not good. you all are a where that he betared the order right? oh and just to let you know we got this place sruonded and sent a rider to tell the councel about this meating." he smiled trumpently at them as if he had just found the lost tresher off Jurices seventh king of the lost city of Kran'e. who's treasurer was said to equil that of the dwarves.
Blade steped foreword to speek seeming to be the only one not cuote off gured by the intrushen. then he did the strangest thing of all and smiled at him and that same look of amusment that Roger saw when he frist saw him. "Good Karirst I just knew you and your not so well trained Buddy. would jump in and spoiled my master plan. Man your more retread then i thout.
