Breaking Bones

After our run together, our relationship changed. It was almost like he needed it more than I did. Afterward, we both got dressed and we proceeded to hang out.

We talked over a few drinks while sitting outside under the bright moon.

Evander asked the same questions that Audrey asked. He wanted to know about my history. I explained in detail who I was and where I came from.

“So Godric gave me a tribute that didn’t belong to him.” He laughed at the idea while drinking his beer. I laughed at the irony. I was in fact his.

I was done talking about myself. And I didn’t want Evander to start asking me questions about my relationship with Godric. I turned the focus of our conversation to him.

“Tell me about your upbringing? I know where you were from. But how did you become a commander of a great army.”
