"Take his weapons." Dezryan always the negotiator was making sure I was completely unarmed in his presence. Not like I had much of a choice a bunch of guys in suits of armor vs me in my rags? If I had my magic maybe, but revolvers have that really crappy having to pull them out and aim them requirement for murder, and thats why magic will always be better. We were still out in the open though, I felt this was a bad decision, even surrounded by burly men in shining armor. On top of taking my weapons they also bound my hands, because unarmed, basically naked, and without magic was not defeated enough. With my hands bound they tied a rope from my wrists to Dezyran's horse and then continued marching on, I'd say its the most humilating time in my life, but sadly it doesn't crack the top ten.
"I know why you're here and the answer is no." Dezryan again, we were in the back of the column of his brothers with good distance between us and the forward group. Personally I thought it a bit silly to have the leader not protected by others, but the blind man had shown he was more than capable of handling threats in the past.
"You don't even know why I'm here, personally I wanted a vacation and I heard the lands of the east were a hot bet."
"You're a terrible liar, I've heard your some kind of businessman, I don't see how thats actually possible." You ever been drug by a horse at a slow pace naked in the heat and the dust? Trust me it sucks.
"What do you want me to say in the face of you saying you won't help me with my problem."
"But I did help you with your problem, you were insane and a danger to others, I had two options kill you and do the world a favor or trap you in an anti magic bubble thereby minimizing your impact on the world and sparing your life. So if you look at it from my angle I was more than gracious to you."
"Right just like you and your brothers murdering everyone in this land."
"This land is corrupt we are purifying it the only way it can be purified."
"By killing everyone."
"If there is nothing left to infect there is no longer an infection, don't worry Trezlan, when we are finished we'll ship you back to Ronerawth." And with that our conversation was over. Dezryan lead his horse forward (I have no idea how, he's freaking blind!) and I stumbled behind like a drunken fool being brought before the constable for my crimes. Honestly I felt really stupid assuming Dezryan was some kind of altruistic monk type. I should have known any order that is lead by the blind would follow darkness (HA!). I also felt sorry for Ruk, here I was thinking Dezryan could help him, and his order would just as suredly murder them than help. Some saviors they are!
