Chapter 5 - An Almost Accord

My eyes zigzagged between looking for an escape , looking for an opening and watching for the ground.

In my head I went over a small mental map I had confidence in and layed it with where I expected the others to be. About a four minute distance to my left by run I estimated, too far to be of help.

My eyes flickered back to their faces.

Vick and Brovy huh.

I was confident I could outrun them but..... A flashback of the impact that had rocked my vision stayed my hand.

There was a chance I'd be striked from behind if there was just one of them. But with two ?

I had a feeling I'd die if I run.

The feeling wasn't certain, and it wasn't as strong as it had been in the past on worse matters.

But it was strong enough.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I reached within my cloak and grabbed two small daggers and gauged the distance between us.

I'd have to be qui-

"Hey Spider." A voice echoed across the way.

"How about you join us ? "

My blades paused in my hands.

The shirtless mage I now knew as Vick put his hands on his head as he continued

"Yea man. I see no reason to die right now. I mean, Us two are basically guaranteed a spot. Two mages walking around, " he shook his head snidely " were basically unstoppable. "

"But you spider..yoube been making waves yourself. I've heard the rumors. Thirty people ? Really? Thirty. And you didn't even have too. Now, you're a savage.

He sighed "And seeing how you've dodged my attack, and how Brovy wants to avoid problems, I guess I'll let you live. "

He took his hand and made a shoo gesture.

"Go on now then Spider , Scadadle. "

My mind went blank as the words echoed.

'I guess I'll let you live '

'I guess I'll let you live '

' I guess I'll let you live. '

A deep memory resurfaced. Its words spoken by a deep evil voice.

"Go on then boy. Leave quick while I still let you live. "

Spiders mind went blank.
