“Keep away from the edge, your master would be very mad if you fell off and died this close to your destination.”
The guard at the gate asked their business and seemed satisfied with the answer and the gold coin pressed into his palm and gave them directions to the recruitment headquarters of the Unkindness. Jaxson took note of this transaction and they entered the bailey. Before they had gone 200 yards Hasheem saw the man he was looking for with five children all holding hands behind him. He reminded Hasheem of a mother duck with her ducklings and it took all of his will to not smile. The bloodthirsty warrior who he had seen cut down was playing mommy. But this was a serious moment and Hasheem put on his best business face before calling out, “Sergeant Marxin! It is I, Hasheem Al’Mushad!”
Though Hasheem couldn’t see it from this distance the one armed sergeant inhaled deeply, clenched his jaw and muttered an obscenity under his breath.
