Instead of fearing for his life, Mazi began cheerfully describing some of the sadistic thing he did to Ila.

He lost his head, the joy he had been experiencing at watching Liadan suffer in a cell was lost instantly and replaced by rage. "That faithless slut found a new lover fast enough!"

In reply to Liadan Buckley (msg # 244):

"There are people better equipped to handle executing someone. You're a mother, your children need you but obviously your priorities are elsewhere." Aron's shoulers slumped. "I love you, Lia," he said as he turned to walk slowly toward the door.

"Aron!" Liadan ran to catch up with Aron. "The only way our children will be safe from these momzers is if they're dead. Didn't you her what he just admitted- boasted- about doing to that girl? Mazi escaped this dungeon and knights once, how do you know he won't escape again?"

"Because they know what they are doing. There are more of them, did you ever stop to think that if you are the one that kills these two, your actions will make our children targets for revenge? No, you didn't. You never think past your blood lust. I'm going to collect our children and get out of here. One of their parents have to protect them." Aron turned and walked out the door.

"They'd already be targeting us." Liadan followed Aron. "Remember how much Tabor hated me because I was the only one who saw through him and spoke out? The mermen already want our children."

Wulfsen turned to Xavier.

"Let's get this over with." He hefted the axe.

"But the others would want them for revenge. He would have them murdered to hurt you. No. No, Lia, I'm collecting the children and we're leaving. I love you but it's over. I can't be with someone who will allow our children to be made targets."

Several knights entered quickly, passing Lia and Aron. Xavier pulled his sword.

In reply to Aron Buckley (msg # 252):

"Aron, I don't think you get it." Liadan said. "It's not just Tabor and Mazi- all the mermen will be targeting our children because I opposed Tabor all those years ago. It doesn't matter if I kill Tabor and Mazi or not, the mermen still want them because I'm their mother. They already want revenge and to hurt me."

"You don't understand. If you kill Tabor and Mazi, if they get our children it won't be quick deaths like it would have been before. Our children will be tortured. Those mermen will make your past look like it was a cakewalk. They'll will drag it out for days."

In reply to Aron Buckley (msg # 255):

"You think they were going to be merciful before?" Liadan asked in disbelief. "Mazi tortured Ila for who knows how long, and for no reason besides him being a twisted momzer. I have to make sure they die."

"You're free now, it's your choice. I'm going to get a wagon and gather the children."

In reply to Xavier DeVale (msg # 253):

"Stick out your hands." Wulfsen ordered Mazi.

In reply to Aron Buckley (msg # 257):

"Damn it Aron, we have to discuss this." Liadan said.

In reply to Wulfsen Thornblade (msg # 258):

Mazi kept his hands out of reach and made a rude gesture.

"Before I go I want one last girl." Mazi said. "Ila, or one of Liadan's daughters. I've dreamed of breaking one of them."

In reply to Liadan Buckley (msg # 259):


"There is nothing to discuss. It is over. I'll always love you." Aron left the dungeon area to find the children.

Liadan swore and followed him.

----to the Buckley room

In reply to Mazi (msg # 260):

"I was going to resharpen the axe after banging off those hinges. But now I guess I just won't cut your head off quickly and cleanly." Wulfsen nodded to a knight with a crossbow. "Take out his knee so he won't try to run."

The knight took careful aim with the crossbow and fired a bolt at the merman's knee.

"Damned land man!" Mazi fell against the cell wall. He gritted his teeth and puled the bolt from his leg. "You're just jealous because you've had to pay or marry every woman you've been with. You're weak and hide behind your toys instead of facing me like a man!"

"Here's where you're hiding." Yehudit limped into the dungeon. "Wulfsen, I have to talk to you!"

"Give him anoth-" Wulfsen was interrupted by Yehudit. "Now is not a good time, Yehudit. But I will be happy to talk to you after this is taken care of."

Xavier jolted. "Yehudit, you can't be here right now. You don't want to see this. In fact, you need to find your father, I think he's taking the family to safety."
