"I didn't kill the boy." Sir Tallis rasped. "He's still alive. I couldn't-
"Oh I heard your little speech." Sir Enfer said.
"I was afraid to move out of fear you might kill
him. But congratulations, at the end you managed
to do your duty. If only all knights could
remember to do their duty some of the time."
"Stay away from him!" I yelled. Sir Enfer barely glanced at me.
"Tallis I will march you back to the manor."
Enfer said. "Lord Leontes will hear the whole
story right away; you can expect his punishment
to be swift." Sir Tallis swallowed. "Now stand up." Tallis looked at me.
"It's okay James. You can let go of me." I just squeezed him tighter.
"Tallis now!" Sir Enfer snapped. Sir Tallis
reached up and removed my vice grip from his neck.
"Nothing I can do now James." Sir Tallis
whispered, standing up. "It's okay. You're safe
now from the man who tried to kill you." He
turned to Enfer. "You need to send knights or anyone to rescue my family."
"We will." Enfer said. "But you know they may
already be dead." Sir Tallis swallowed and nodded. "Now come on."Â
I wanted to stay with Sir Tallis but Enfer
grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go. He dragged
both of us back home, to face my father.
Very bitter this section, what terrible misery
here. I actually hurt in my heart reading this.
May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
Charles Matthias
