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.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  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.
