History of Mardon Castle
Chapter Fourteen
Part 3
...
A soldier spoke from a window in the chamber at the top of the tower, “Come on down, Lord Axiste. There is nothing to fear.”
Those words really did not put the elder kevalla at ease. “You have found the wall, and the ground below.”
The soldier laughed before saying, “Just don’t look down and you will be all right.”
“You expect me to climb all the way down to the wall, then climb up to Kaervel’s room?”
The mage now came to the window to say, “Yes, I do. The first reason is that I am not going to presently expand the wall section, but I am going to expand toward the castle. Most of those coming down will thus be workers who do not need to bother me.”
More than just old stones have been revealed by the excavation.

...
A voiced sounded from up in the riggings that caused Terniff to consider the situation. “Captain, there are a number of kevalla watching from the shore.”
“Aye, everyone loves to watch a contest. Any sign of opposition?”
“No, captain. The lake is calm and clear.”
“Do you think we could have good fishing?”
Terniff turned with her husband toward the captain of the vessel. That question concerned a topic that had not come up in any of the planning sessions. It thus came as a surprise that the captain would have such on his mind.
No, they did not come to lake to fish.

History of Mardon Castle
Chapter Fourteen
Part 1
Axiste could tell that he was not the only one in his group that had noticed the unusual situation. He did not believe that the prisoners had recognized the problem, as their glances for chances of possible escape still bounced around and their complaints were still only mumbles of perceived mistreatment. Not all of the kevalla soldiers had noticed, and those that had seen the movement of a trailing creature had not made any signal of alarm. Axiste considered such slightly positive as he noticed the three human soldiers. They had seen, signaled each other of the threat, and moved with their bodies tensed as if prepared to act. Axiste thus moved to speak to one of them.
“Sergeant Beshaub, what about that crocodile disturbs you?”
The man moved close and kept his voice down, which Axiste could only assume was done so as not to trouble anyone else. “You have seen it too?”
“I have noticed it following us for some time.”
There is supposed to be a calm before a storm, but one still knows that it is coming.

History of Mardon Castle
Chapter Thirteen
Part 3
...
Terniff smiled with the compliment to her appearance, but instead of bringing up her dissatisfaction with her hair she mentioned a topic that she preferred to speak about. “Will it take us that long to reach the lake?”
“Oh, rivers are never straight, and our uncertainty of the turns makes our advance rather cautious. The clouds from a storm that passed during the night gave us almost no sight, so we are now at anchor. I will not get us back going until after Lord Axiste has been returned to shore.”
“You will then need to wait until the sun has moved up into the sky.”
“Aye, the kevalla need time to warm their blood. Gives us about the only advantage against them, as they are quite tough in a fight.”
Terniff grinned as she said, “All right, we are not planning to attack the kevalla.”
The features of the captain momentarily displayed a fear that he had spoken improperly before he mumbled, “No, my lady. Just griping about needing to wait.”
There is some action, but I focus on the people.

History of Mardon Castle
Chapter Thirteen
Part 2
PRUDE ALERT! Nothing is directly stated and they are married, but some people get excited easily.
...
The silence of the room perplexed him. Tasbirn could not believe that no one bothered him. Curious if only a servant had opened the door to check on the conditions of the room, and seeing it occupied had decided to come back later, he turned to the door hoping that he could return to his thoughts.
He did not know whether to smile when he saw his wife standing at the door. If she had a problem, he definitely wanted to hear it. It however bothered him that she had not spoken. If anyone had the authority to demand his time, it was her. He thus felt a need to chastise her for holding back as if she was a servant.
The lady still appeared very lovely. Her small form clearly showed the changes from being pregnant. He loved her breasts, but could see that they now bulged out to a size that they would fill his hand instead of simply being soft masses that he could fondle with his fingers. Her belly jutted out in a manner that could not be associated with fat. While he still wondered what problem she had brought to him, Tasbirn had to smile as he appreciated the view.
Little Nalisha does worry about her husband.

...
Sails dropped as hails were exchanged between the humans aboard the vessel and the kevalla on the shore. When the ship finally stopped and the gangplank set down, Axiste saw the annoyed look of the captain as a number of the new arrivals quickly strode passed him to look over the front of the vessel even as a couple began climbing the ropes to gain an even higher view. Hearing the kevalla begin to point out to the humans manning the poles on how to differentiate the boggy land from the river channel, the face of the captain relaxed as he turned to one that still stood near him.
“I am Lord Axiste. Excuse the rudeness of the men that I brought to you, but they felt your crew showed more unease in their duties than they should have been.”
The gaze of the master of the vessel turned to study those he was to accept as part of his crew, then he looked back to the elder kevalla to say, “Welcome aboard. At least the men appear to want to work. That is more than I see in a number of new hires.”
Plans are made to take the fight back to the one that started the curse.

History of Mardon Castle
Chapter Twelve
Part 3
Terniff had to stop as she noticed the scene ahead. She and Renwyn were moving on horseback through the marsh. While her height upon the animal gave her a slightly good view of the terrain, beyond a limited distance all she could see were plants growing up from a layer of water. The sight of a ship moving in the distance did not appear real at all.
Renwyn rode his horse up just a short distance, then looked back to say, “The ship is going that way, so we should go in that direction to head it off. However, how does the river flow?”
“That is the question that has kept our land free from ship traffic, Renwyn. We are just going to have to be careful.”
Another threat of the curse begins to be challenged.

“Now, Neathix, I don’t believe that. Still, I guess that I can tell my wife to give her basket to your husband to give to my son.”
“That would help appearances, Axiste. Thank you.”
He looked up into the lady’s eyes as he said, “Don’t worry about Betemma. He is doing very well.”
“I heard that your son was hurt.”
“Boys will be boys.” Seeing the lady laugh had Axiste answer a little more honestly. “There is danger in our land, but Nevixt and Betemma are being careful. We aren’t going to war, Neathix. We are only digging up the past.”
It is not suspense if you don't know what could happen, so I tell you.

...
Terniff looked around, and seeing that she and the viscountess walked alone made a comment, “You don’t seem to be doing well making friends.”
“I am not developing a social circle, but I am making friends. I actually like the bluntness of Mardon. The conversations at my socials are much more diverse than I remember occurring back home.”
“But you are often seen moving about alone.”
“I am the female authority in this land. I find too many consider me a pretty face. I want it known that I can stand alone. I will not allow others to group me with the other possessions that those of Mardon brought back from the war.”
Our two main ladies again have an encounter.

History of Mardon Castle
Chapter Eleven
Part 3
...
Axiste saw more than a dozen soldiers present in the room, so he spoke simply to see how much more he could learn. “I was only planning to hire about a dozen.”
Norvichy said, “Hire about three dozen, Axiste, and a few soldiers as well. I am taking a number of men with me into the mountains.” His hand passed around to indicate those in the room as he added, “I am taking who I consider the best.”
“You are returning to war?”
Some chuckled while Captain Bostull said, “No, Lord Axiste. We are going to capture a roc.”
Big plans are being made, but Axiste keeps the focus on what is important.
