Mormegil
Years of training had taught him agility and awareness. He had learned them from the finest teachers that money would buy. Except for one man. One man had refused to sell his trade to Mormegil's arrogance and prideful manner. It was for this reason that Mormegil had not received the one vital lesson that would have saved him this day.
He had dove to the ground as he had been trained well enough to hear the woman readying the throw...but he was not as fast as she...she who had been the daughter of the man that refused him education. Too slow had Mormegil moved, and he took all three pins in the back, in places that Mormegil had not learned about well enough to understand their danger. He had been told just now that there was a poison administered in those deathly pricks. He stood up and removed the needles, but knew that it was no good. He trusted Rong's word that poison had been injected into his body.
"By the Gods...she didn't even tell me how long I have to live!"
He saw his bodyguard leap after her, but Mormegil wished he had not done that, for this girl clearly could kill whoever she wanted without trouble. Karthias was probably going to be the next casualty.
He turned back around and walked slowly and pensively back to his cabin on the ship.
OOC>>>Anybody see the movie Kiss of the Dragon?
I am damn lucky she did not do that to me!
