Excerpt:
Egan was about to reply when a sudden sound startled him
“Pardon me,” the voice said from behind them.
The two men struggled to stand, but in his haste to rise, Egan
tripped over Reg’s foot and they both fell back to the ground with
a thud.
They looked up from where they sat on the grass to see a tall,
lean young man, dressed much like themselves but with a bow
hanging from his shoulder and a quiver of arrows strapped to his
back.
“I did not mean to frighten you,” the stranger said, looking
down on them. On his chiseled face was a mixture of curiosity
and concern. His expression seemed to anger the two brigands.
Reg and Egan scrambled to their feet.
“There is no one frightened here, laddie,” Reg brushed grass
from his rump. “Who are you to be sneaking around and interrupting
our business?”
“My name is Galen,” the young man said. He offered them a
friendly smile. “I was wondering about the young lady sitting under
that oak.”
“Well, wonder no more, lad,” Reg said firmly. “The lady is with
us.”
Galen studied the girl for a few moments as she stared daggers
back at the three of them. “Judging by the ropes that bind her,
I would say she was a very willing companion.” His words held
more than a hint of sarcasm. “Or could I be wrong?”
“Willing or not, she is with us,” Reg declared. Egan quickly
nodded his agreement. “So be on your way or suffer a beating you
will not soon forget.” He drew his fists up ready to do battle. Egan
reluctantly joined him. “What is it to be, lad?”
In the instant it took Reg to draw back his right fist for a blow,
Galen slipped the bow from his shoulder and snapped the tip
against Reg’s ear.
Reg screamed in pain as he grabbed his wounded ear and fell
writhing to the grass howling like a stray hound.
Egan looked down at his injured companion, shocked how easily
he had been dispatched by the young stranger. It was a mistake
for which he would pay in pain of his own.
