True Potential (3)

A couple of days later...

Peter finally arrived at Zinon, the territory owned by the Morgans, not knowing what to expect. On one hand, he did what he needed to in order to save his life by acknowledging Ashton as his lord.

But on the other hand, not only did he betray his lord, but he was back acting as a messenger of their enemy. There could be only one punishment for doing such a thing- Death.

Well, that would have been the case if he could even reach his lords in the first place. As soon as he stepped foot inside the city, the soldiers and his comrades jumped him as if he was some lowly thug and restrained him before he could even get a word in. 

"What is this? Unhand me this instant-"

Those were his last words before a piece of cloth was forced into his mouth and he was dragged away. All of this happened on a street filled with people who knew Peter and yet did not raise a finger to help them.
