*Mace enters and stands in a pool of Vortigern's blood. He looks down at the battered man*.
Kestrig doesn't want him dead Kali.
*He reaches into his tunic and pulls out a worm. He offers it to the one eyed hawk perched upon his shoulder and the bird swallows greedily*.
Steady Rawke, don't choke my little friend.
*He strokes the bird's feathers and looks coldly at the young woman*.
Vortigern's tough, beating him won't work... He'll die... You'll never get your way.....

Well my father is getting soft since his imprisonment by Carados... since when have we spared traitors?
* She sighs*
You're right my friend. He has probably had enough for today. I don't want him dead yet.
*She looks at Mace*
Perhaps you would take your turn to persuade him? If he is ever to taste freedom he must kill Philomena Aquitaine. That is what we agreed.
*Kali looks over Vortigern with contempt*
But at the moment he is seems to want to martyr himself for the love of a creature who doesn't care if he lives or dies. If he does not see sense soon, you will go with Fenris Wolfe and butcher her yourselves.... then you can come back her and tell Vortigern everything you did to her in great detail.
*She holds Vortigern's head up so he looks at Mace*
You can tell him every gasp and scream, every blow and broken bone, every rip and stab... everything that he could have spared her from.
*Kali steps back to her chair of bones.*
Go on Mace, you always boast of your powers of persuasion. I will drink wine and watch while you help an old friend make the right choice... and show your loyalty which has sometimes been as doubtful as Jett's.

*Mace feeds his hawk another worm*.
Kali, how would Fenris and me get into Stormrock?
*Mace kneels down in front of Vortigern*.
Vortigern.... You still with us?...
*He looks over his shoulder at Morte*.
He'll be no use to man nor beast like this....
*Mace places his hand on Vortigern's shoulder and shakes it gently*.
Your father would not like you calling him soft.
*He whispers under his breath and looks once more at the bloodied features of the imprisoned man*.
He's as mad as you are...
*He stands up and strokes Rawke's feathers*.
If you want a tool to do its job, you've got to look after it.... Vortigern's an ax, but you've blunted him...
*He shakes his head*.
He'll not kill Philomena if you break his bones....

How would I get you in? Well, there are some in Darl's close company that dislike her influence. She pleads for mercy for his enemy and he gives it, asks for men to rebuild villages that have been burnt to the ground... all that goody goody nonsense she likes. So noble...
*She spits on the ground in disgust*
Anyway, they will get Vortigern or you... if this worthless whelp dies, into Stormrock Castle through some secret entrance.
*Kali scowls*
He's got no broken bones. I barely touched him and he dared to kick me. He's lucky I didn't have him castrated then and there.
*She snaps her fingers, an old and very nervous healer scampers up*
Clean this wretch up and have him ready to ready to Stormrock Castle by the time the twin suns rise, or will shall see how well you heal with a missing hand.
*Kali narrows her eyes and looks at Mace.*
You should go with Vortigern, make sure he makes it to Stormrock safely and that this ax is sharp when it is time to strike... It is time this weakness inside him is chopped out. I'll send a few other boys with you, in case your fondness for the Princess overcomes you.
*She drops the locket into the pool of blood and saunters off.*

Right away Mistress Morte... right away. Can we lower his chains a little... yes he can still be kept shackled.
*He looks at Vortigern and tuts as he examines him.*
He's just fainted away from the pain. I'll clean him up... but he'll be a bit bruised for riding, rather painful I might say. Perhaps if the boy had some bed rest for a week or two to recover?
*Kali snorts*
Yes.. well as you say... eh... there is a potion or two I can try. Don't tend to use it much, the ingredients are a little unethical, the blood of nursing babes and so forth but... well if you insist on making him better.
*He washes Vortigern's wounds and then pours potion down his throat*
A few cracked ribs but the rest are just flesh wounds lad.
*The old man watches as Kali is out of sight. He pats Vortigern gently on the shoulder and then surreptitiously pushes the locket into his hand. He smiles as he sees Vortigern's fingers close around it*
You'll be fine in a weeek or two.
*He whispers into Vortigern's ear*
Long live Princess Philomena, the true heir to the throne.

*Mace watches Vortigern closely and feeds his hawk another worm*.
He'll need a bit of rest. Vortigern's as tough as old boot leather, but his heart may not be in this job.
*He sighs and smiles*.
But he's a killer alright. I know what he's capable of....

*Vortigern's eyes open and he spits a globule of blood in disgust*.
Take me out of this cell....
*He glares at the doctor*.
Thank you.
*He squeezes the locket and blood drips from his fingertips*.
This....
*He pulls at the chains*.
Is no way to treat man nor beast....
*He looks at Mace and rolls his bloodshot eyes tiredly*.
Changed sides again Mace?.....
*He shakes his head*.
Can't keep pace with you.... I guess you think the Chaos Engine are on the winning side....

*Mace smiles at Vortigern and nods. He looks over at Morte*.
Unlock him Kali....
*He looks back at the doctor and then gazes down at Vortigern*.
Sometimes you have no choices, you just have to take what you can.

*Kali walk over and looks at Vortigern*
Are you ready to follow orders?
*Kalin grins and Vortigern gives a slight nod. She squats down and roughly strokes his face*
Hope you have learnt your lesson, wouldn't want to mark this handsome face. Chaos Engine always win. It's like Mace says, you have no choice so you might as well make the most of it.
*She hands Mace a key*
See the job is well done and you will be rewarded well... Might even find a nice brothel somewhere for you to run. This assassination will break the bond between Carados and Thranmere. We will win and this land will be ours again.
*Kali looks over at the healer*
Looks like I made the right choice not impaling you... you keep this up, you won't die but you only treat those I tell you to, don't ever treat a prisoner unless I command it. Some of them should just be allowed to rot to death.
*She caresses Vortigern*
Not you though Vortigern... I like handsome killers in my bed... and I will get you... I always get what I want in the end. Someone will bring you some new clothes and a sharp knife. Once I know you can be trusted I will give you your sword back.
Don't forget to bring me back Philomena's hair... I've always wanted a mermaid hair wig.

*Two guards come and roughly help Vortigern to his feet. He is unshackled and given new clothes but left unarmed. He is silent as they lead him away to make the long journey to Stormrock Castle. *
