26 Klem's Reward
The unfortunate thief lay in a dank and dark small room, but though smelly and unkempt was well fed and healthy.
Overlord had entered proceeded by two guards and simply stated he had decided sentence, stepping up to the trembling body he placed a hand on the clammy forehead and closed his eyes. The fellow went rigid, the mouth opened but no scream came. The body collapsed on the floor. Overlord smiled grimly and signalled to the two to dispose of the body. Sweeping out, feeling the energy swirling inside Overlord thanked his ‘lords’ for leaving him with this small gift to feed.
Klem jumped to his feet as Overlord and Jacs entered without notice. “My Lord! How may I assist you? I do not understand the need to be held in my chambers, I would come at call when required.”
“I needed to know where you were, Klem, that is all. It pleases me to come to you this once and final time.”
“Final time, Lord? Then I am to receive my reward soon?”
“You are to receive your reward NOW Klem. Approach if you will.”
The gleam of greed was clear in his eyes as he knelt in front of them. He was raised by a finger to the chin.
“No need to kneel, Klem. Receive your reward.”
The hand went to the forehead. Klem went rigid as a statue, unable to move.
“Such is the reward of a servant who secretly thought to supplant his Lord, to take the powers as his own. Such is the reward of one who thought even his darkest thoughts could be hidden from his Lord!”
Klem sweated, cold. “Jacs, would you like to hear this one scream as we take what we must to help your brother?”
“That would be pleasant, Lord. If I may, from the back? I do not wish to bathe in this one’s blood.”
A single grinning nod given, Jacs cut the sac off between the legs not too quickly. The screams were piercing, but Klem was still rigid.
“Goodbye, Klem, take your reward.” Closing eyes, Overlord drank the essence of being that was Klem. Wonderful! The man was strong, but not as Overlord’s kind. The body fell, limp, lifeless.
“The sac, Jacs. Place it in my hands, and hold with your own.” A trickle of essence passed between them, and the sac took on some of it.
“Now we preserve these precious things in wine.”
A short while later, Lacey was watched from the high place as the Thunderbird that had pledged himself to her carried her effortlessly. The thunder boomed over the distance and bird and passenger with the precious cargo vanished with the lightning burst towards Castle Had.
