Let’s hope they stick together!

Well done and thank you for this. Sadly it seems,s that this type of history repeats itself

Fascinating and very interesting, leads one to want more!

Ashot has risen and is about to have his moment of glory.

He will get plenty of  coin from Stephen, as his reward.

They have a job to do no sense to Walo in misery

The end, or the beginning of the end is near, and hopefully Ishan and Wylan reverse back to their original state soon when the star appears….

As cliffhangers go….who shot JR?

I would have taken his testimonials as well….I can’t feel sorry or pity for Renn, and as far as I am concerned, it wasn’t enough. The only hopeful outcome for me, is that that Renn would be in the same room as his bulguh only to see it tossed into a fire, vat of acid, or given to a hungry rat.

To be so close only to watch helplessly, as he realizes he’ll have to sit or squat to pee for the rest of his miserable life, however short it may be…

Not that I have any strong feelings about him…..

Thank you for this, thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end!

May he receive the "same instruction" that Gianluca underwent....  

And yet, much is left to be addressed...

“The matter is resolved,” the first added. “The work can be taken up.”

Lorenzo gave a slight nod.

“The city holds,” he said.

The masters seemed satisfied with that. They inclined their heads once more and withdrew without further word.

Matteo watched them go, his expression tightening.

“He is silenced,” he said.

Lorenzo did not respond.

Matteo’s gaze returned to the street.

“But nothing that brought them to him has been answered,” he continued. “They have not lost the need. Only the voice.”

Gianluca looked at him.

Matteo’s tone did not rise.

“If it remains unaddressed,” he said, “another will come to speak it.”

The agents knew Lukas' designation number. They were looking for him.

Along with Emarbren sul’Rikard or are the agents working for him?

Somewhere along the line, Dio downloaded a complete Snark program...

"You *hijacked* a Militsiya pacification bot?"

*"I borrowed it. The previous owner was not using it."*

"The previous owner was *using it* to *enforce the law*!"

*"The law is a construct. Much like Lukas. Also much like this robot now. I believe the term is 'poetic justice.'"*

Lukas lowered his pistol. His heart was still hammering, but the combat package was disengaging, shifting back to standby.

"You scared the hell out of us," he said.

*"That was not my intention. However, I am not displeased by the outcome. The look on Tripp's face was particularly satisfying."*

I’m reminded of the old axiom, when one assumes, they make an ass out of you and me.

Methinks Benedetto has assumed much…

Ashot, seems to like his bell being rung. He just needs to get Stephen out of his bad habit, of being embarrassed.

I think the plan is/was getting him out of the habit!!!

“If you do, I will let you kiss me without having to pay, just once though, When I read that I immediately yell out YES!...What does that say about me🤔

There’s a lot of mud in your future….

WTF?????

The images from last night came back, shifted.

How he fucked Atlas against the tree and the rough bark tore at his tender skin.

How he pressed Atlas’s face into the soft earth while he fucked him.

A knife to Atlas’s throat, or a hand clamping down.

The knife in his crotch.

Julian knew what he was doing with that bolt.


And Khalid is no fool.

 

"He said that? About you?"

"He said that about me." Wylan met his eyes. "He is sick, Khalid. Crusaders sometimes dip their arrowheads in shit. The bolt that struck him did not just shatter his shoulder. It poisoned him, shattered something in his mind. He is not the brother we knew. He is something else now. Something that will destroy this city if we let him."

Rashed lives with a fever, and knowing the game is over for him...I hope the fevers take him slowly, inexorably to his end...

And we now have the Baroness of the Bridge!!!

For those interested in a brief summary of the rite Daren asked for...This was a superb chapter!!!

the rite of Adelphopoiesis - Search

While relief and supplies came in March, the following also occurred after the battle...Allowing them to hold on and regain some of their strength...From the link Topher provided

As the Muslim forces were thrown into a chaotic rout, the Crusaders gave chase and pursued them to Harim, killing thousands and capturing horses and supplies. The Turkish garrison at Harim torched the castle and fled east with Radwan. 

Love this story, and it looks to be a winner!

So nice to see you on these pages!!

This story is like a ride on a scenic highway, with lovely views around every corner, not forgetting to ask... suck my dick... please?

Well, if it weren't Duncan's wife, I would have to blame the butler or Inspector Gadget....

Looking forward to Book Three, and then there's the following....I'm concerned for Sam...

Something pressed against his hand, prompting him to remove it from his pocket. In his palm lay the two forgotten phials of gryphon ash, purchased from Rafe the night before. He swore the ash would only be used in an emergency, and he meant to keep that promise. Opening a compact pocket of one of his bags, he stashed the phials and stepped back warily, as though they would tumble out on their own and call to him.
