To Face the Ugly Deed
Chapter Thirteen
(Jelnaya)

…
Eashae said, “You are following the right path, Nebard. I promised you everything, and I am seeing nothing to have me regret that decision. I will always love you and your children.”

The voice of Nebard broke as he replied, “This is hard, Eashae.”

“No, Nebard, but it is necessary. I cannot say that I am good with animals, but I will learn to do what I can while you do what you must. It might be hard doing what Quafrey commands, what I desire, what our children will demand, and what the animals must have done for them, but I will help all I can. I understand that it will be necessary.”

To Face the Ugly Deed
Chapter Twelve
(Nebard)

…
It was my mother who said, “Felther? Oh, Felther, they took your soul, didn’t they?” I saw Lord Felther just quiver, then my mother asked, “Honored Jelnaya, could you look into Felther’s eyes and rescue him?”

She replied, “He gave up his willingly. I don’t know if I could. Nebard, what does Quafrey say about it?”

The female voice inside my head told me that I needed to see. Quafrey explained that I needed to have a relationship with her like Jelnaya had with He-Who-Fights. I had no idea how to do that. Not hearing any directions from the voice inside my head, I looked to the one that had asked me the question.

“What can be worse?”

I stepped up to the man so he could hear me even with me hissing my words, “Think, Makinor. Think about what I said. We are divine champions. Our souls are not ours. Now, think about those in Nebard’s town. Other than Nebard, they are not divine champions. Their souls are not secure. They can be pulled into Hell with no recourse to their fates. There can be innocent people in Hell.”

...
Hearing some words, I gladly replied, “Quafrey appreciates what you said, Jelnaya.”

“Okay, so let me tell you some things that she might not like. I am not going to promise that you will live. I have been defeating these creatures, so I have some confidence, but too much confidence can kill. Should things get desperate, I reduce to caring for myself. Good tactics however can win any battle, so you keep talking to me. Hopefully we can gain an edge that keeps us with a victory.”

“I’m trusting in you, Jelnaya.”

“And I have not bitten off your head when you spoke to me, so you should not fear speaking to me. You hear me? We talk, we make plans, and we figure out how to win.”

...
“Your family makes siege engines?”

“No, Makinor. If Onathia wants you to get deadly, have her send you to me for a week. I will show you deadly. I will have you meet my father and listen to him brag on the kill power of what his company produces. Might let you meet my Grandfather Terish as well.”

His glance to me had me suspect another question, but he instead said, “After this mission I will see if Onathia will reveal more of her path for me, Jelnaya. In a proper arrangement of things, I believe She-Who-Loves will again simply have a champion of He-Who-Fights join me should things truly have a possibility of getting deadly.”

Chapter Eight
(Nebard)

\...
I left the house as my wife started speaking about what she saw of it. The words disturbed me, as she was the one that put everything as it was. Moving through the community I heard talk of everything from us needing to relocate, prepare for war, to building a church. People called to me asking about Eashae as I stopped to make my own sense of things. Not being able to answer, I saw a strange man with some elder ladies carrying food and headed to them.

Elder Thamoss had a barn, and seeing them head in that direction I ran ahead to open the door. The lady with the red and yellow hair was inside moving with her sword, but stopped seeing me. I pushed open the door for the others to pass while speaking to the one already present.

“I want to know what you did.”

Nebard has to face a major decision.

Chapter Six
(Nebard)

Priven did speak to his mother. I found out when my mother brought him and his mother to my barn. I was worried about a mother goat that I felt was carrying triplets. When I mentioned the situation to the others, Priven’s mother spoke a reply.

“You are being blessed, Nebard. However, just like your mother goat is going to have difficulties, your blessing will come with troubles as well. I am telling Priven, and now telling you, to see them through.”

Chapter Four
(Nebard)

I looked up from where I was setting a trap. Winter was coming, which usually brought predators seeking food outside their usual territory. Wondering about Eashae on those nights I felt it necessary to stay up watching for threats to my animals, I looked up surprised to see her coming to me.

“Husband, come home.”
