Belik
Shiro’s green eyes filled with shock. “Master Belik,” he said as they walked away from the Main.
“Yes?” he answered gruffly, glancing at Bard. Did he need the gag put on again? The Endrian’s nose and lip had swollen purple. They could offer the gag as a tactic to encourage him to carry out any last commands Belik might have. They’d leave it off.
“Charäkhnem is here.”
Belik’s attention swiveled to Shiro. “What? Fighting?” Enktuya put a hand on the knife at her waist. He hadn’t summoned Charäkhnem. It was too large and complicated. That kingdom’s strongest Tanyu had disappeared after failing to deliver the Kepron. He must have known how furious Belik would be, and what horrible consequences he’d face.
“Not fighting yet,” Shiro said, “but camped, for the Keepers.”
Bard’s good
