Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Solenis (Feb 09, 2005 12:41 p.m.):[/b] Saul rode toward Fel's at a gallop. He was eager to collect the last of the money from the last run and eager to have Rhodos and Vidon gone so that he and Malorik could leave. Damn the woman and her companion for riding horses into the desert. They should have stabled them and taken camels for a caravan. Horses were meant for speed, and if they could not use them for speed then they were merely camels who carried less and drank more water and caught the eye of that spineless imperialist clerk. Saul didn't want this job. He had made enough money from the last run to be comfortable for months - longer, if he'd stretched it. He'd even considered going home to see if he was any more suited to mining or farming than he had been when he'd left. Now because of the damned horse he had no choice. No explanation he could have provided for how he'd come to possess one of the courier's mounts would have held that Brindian clerk from reporting him to his superior, and while Saul had no great love for the Brindians he knew the quality of the trackers they would set on him. It would be better to be paid to get the box back for them then to risk a bounty on his head. At least the woman was cooperating. They could leave tomorrow night and be in Lahkis within six weeks of the caravan if they hurried, and if the woman was right it would take time for the caravan leader to find a buyer for the box and its contents, whatever they were. Once they found the caravan leader they would have to track down who he'd sold the box to and retrieve it, and once they had it and the woman had verified that it was indeed the box she had carried Saul would bring it back. If it wasn't too much trouble then maybe he'd even let her deliver it first as they had discussed. He arrived, dismounted and tied his horse off and then took the stairs two at a time into Fel's office. He got to the doorway and stopped short. Fel was not alone. Next to him stood a man of military bearing who wore the uniform of the Brindian fort, and Saul's spirits sank.[/quote]
