They say that poison is a coward’s weapon. I say that they have never known
the intoxicating rush of power that comes from watching a man beg you for
mercy while your poison slowly chokes him to death.
A glittering green cloud hung in the air around the guard. I cocked my head
and watched as my poison magic forced its way into his lungs where he sat,
kneeling before me. His hands clawed at the damp grass, and choking sounds
gurgled from his throat.
“Please,” he gasped, but it only made him inhale more poison. Tremors
racked his body as he coughed repeatedly before looking up at me with
pleading brown eyes. “Please. Mercy.”
I flicked my long black hair behind my shoulder and watched him fight for
breath for another few seconds before clicking my tongue. “I could be
persuaded to spare your life… if you let me in through the back door to the
kitchen.”
Putting a hand to his own throat, he nodded desperately while sucking in
strangled gasps. I arched an unimpressed eyebrow at him. How a dark mage
could have hired such a pathetic excuse for a guard was beyond me.
Glancing up, I studied the sprawling mansion set into the lush grasslands
ahead. This truly proved that a stronghold was only as secure as its weakest
link. I would have to go over the security of my own mansion again when I
got home. But first, I had an enemy to kill.
The guard at my feet let out a panicked gurgling noise. Blowing out an
annoyed breath, I pulled back my poison magic and allowed him to breathe
once more. He sucked in a deep breath and coughed a few more times before
looking up at me again.
I jerked my chin. “Get to it, then.”
While blinking his eyes back into focus, he struggled to his feet and then
staggered towards Callan Blackwell’s mansion. I followed behind, a threat
looming at his back to make sure that he didn’t try to warn the other sentries.
But no calls of alarm came from his throat. Only the occasional wheezing
cough. I studied the mansion while we snuck closer.
The white marble structure sat like a pale jewel on the thick green grass.
Gleaming windows were set into its sides to let in the light, and a few stone
steps led up to the grand oak door. Trees dotted the landscape between the
mansion and a stable visible farther behind. I narrowed my eyes at the classy
style of the building. It had always annoyed me how similar Callan’s home
was to my own. As if we would ever agree on anything.
“This is it,” the guard whispered as he edged open a small wooden door at the
back of the great house. “This will take you into the kitchen.”
“Excellent.”
