Bab 669: Lure 2 (Ch.670)

Shadows swirled and curled around Neveah's feet on all sides, they did not come too close but the shadows formed a perimeter around Neveah and moved as she moved.

Neveah took a step forward but stopped, staring between the shadows and the sorcerer who stood close to the wall, now a little wary of Neveah after her first attack.

'He should be more than wary.' Neveah's wolf thought and Neveah's silence this time was a tacit agreement.

Neveah was not certain if moving further was venturing deeper into whatever trap spell had been set and so she mentally weighed her options, whilst her wolf paced restlessly within her mind, eager to be let out.

"It is not I who seeks for your life, nor My Lord. But you have many enemies, Lady Neveah and so you must die...but death is not always the end. And even in death, the soul lives on... comfort yourself in that." The sorcerer told Neveah in words that Neveah was not certain she fully understood.
