He wanted them dead.
He wanted them all dead.
Mordred knew that he was slowly going insane. Or perhaps he was not
losing his mind—perhaps the voices that whispered to him from the dark
abyss of his prison were truly there.
Though he could not make out their words, he knew they were mocking
him.
It didn’t matter whether the voices were real or figments of his
fracturing sanity. The fact that he experienced them—the laughing, jeering
yet understandable taunts—was very real.
He wanted them dead.
Yet no matter how hard he screamed into the darkness, at the
nothingness, he could not make a single sound. He could not move. Was he
even the owner of a body anymore, trapped inside the Iron Crystal as he
was?
Did it matter?
Would any of it matter in the end?
It was too soon to surrender.
He had to steel himself. Had to brace himself for the agony that was to
come. For he had something to return to. He had someone waiting for him.
In the void, he could almost picture her.
Gwendolyn.
His Gwendolyn.
He could let himself dream of her. Of the touch of skin against his. Of
her smile, of the sound of her laugh—of the warmth of her body next to his.
He yearned for her. Ached for her. In his body, in his soul, and in his heart.
The love he had for her would sustain him.
For it was the only thing he had left.
Gwen needed to raise an army to free Mordred.
Turns out, that was a lot easier said than done.
“Bert.” She put her head down on the surface of the large metal map
table in Mordred’s war room. “You’re killin’ me, smalls.”
“I—first, I don’t know what that means. Second, raising an army takes
time.” Bert sighed. “We’re doing our best.”
“It’s been weeks.” She shook her head.
“And some people have replied.”
That was true. Everyone had left the keep after Mordred was put into
the Crystal—even Galahad and Zoe. But in their place came a smattering of
villagers in dribs and drabs in response to Bert’s rallying call. “Fifty people
isn’t an army. I can’t do anything against elementals with fifty villagers.”
“But it’s a start of an army.” Bert put his mug down on the table with a
thump. “We need to understand that people have lives they’ll be giving up
by answering. This will take time.”
“I can’t just… sit here and do nothing.” She sat back up in the chair and
ran her hands through her hair. “Who knows what Mordred’s going
through? Who knows how much time we have left?”
“He’s at least in one place. He isn’t about to die.” Bert was clearly doing
his best to sound reassuring. “We’ll need the time to build the armor like
you said—and weapons. Armaments. This isn’t wasted time. And you’ll
need to figure out where they’ve hidden the Crystal.”
Letting out a sigh, she pushed up from her chair. “Yeah, yeah… I’m
going to go for a walk. See you in the morning.”
“Sleep well, Gwen.”
