Jedah's Damnation

Chapter Seven: Discussions of War.

By the afternoon Jedah opened the doors to his castle carrying a bloody nap sac. Blood dripped to the floor. From where he leaned over a table and read over a map, Sabbath glanced up, as Jedah slammed the sac down onto the middle of the map.” Is there a problem my Lord?” Sabbath asked.

“ Open the sac.” Jedah commanded.

“ Beg your pardon lord Jedah?”

“ I told you to open it. “ Jedah repeated firmly.

Sabbath stared at Jedah for a moment, then looked down at the sac, shakily his hands went to slowly untie the velvet rope on the sac, and as he unraveled it, the stanch of the severed head within cause him to writhe and gag.

“ Demitri is striking with assassins now.” Jedah said and walked around the table and took a seat in the chair, regardless if Sabbath was right in front of him or not. Reaching around the perplexed wizard Jedah picked up a quill pen, and ducked his head around the wizard where he could see the white paper he was jotting something down on. Putting the pen down, Jedah brushed Sabbath away and sood up as Sabbath moved and paced around.

“ You must not go to the ball tonight then,” Sabbath began as Jedah began to roll up the note.

“ Because of assassins?” Jedah asked with a smile. “ I’m not too worried about the war between vampire and demons, the only war I worry is the one about to break between Lord Aensland and Lord Demitri Maximoff. For years I’ve strived to keep the peace between them. And now because Demitri screwed around with Moloch’s daughter, that peace is about to be shattered.” Jedah explained.

“ Why do you concern yourself with matters that have little to do with you?” Sabbath asked.

“ No the matters do not concern me, but the realm needs not another meaningless war. It hurts me to see so much blood shed in this realm, the realm which I care so much for.” Jedah said.

“ What of the war against Vanity Paradise?” Sabbath asked.

“ A good question, one I can not answer. For years I have tried to nagotate peace with the fairies and their King. King Oboron is selfish and stubborn. The way my father murdered his first born was unforgivable and he treats me as though I had a say in it. They all need to realize I am not my father.”

Sabbath smiled,” No, you are not, and you should not go to that ball.” Sabbath said again.

“ I need to, Eassy has told me that it is destiny and whatever happens is meant to. I am not too worried about attempts on my life. “ Jedah said and tied the note to the bag after he closed it.” Send this back to Demitri tell the messenger that it is a gift.” Jedah ordered.

Sabbath stared at him then took a slight bow,” Yes my lord.” With that he turned and took the sac with him as he walk out the castle. Jedah on the other hand hung his head and muttered,” The realm will destroy itself because of these wars.”
