Guardians of Enthia -- Chapter IX

It had been quite some time since the attempt on the King's life, and the Staav brothers had once again set past their differences, at least for the meantime. Alistair once again held his post as a watchman, and no further incidents had occurred – Yui, however, had his position at the King's Guard, which now meant he had a new position with better training (though not better education – being a Staav already gave him that, regardless of what the brothers' position in the family was).

The two were in the barracks courtyard practicing with both swords and wit when the leader of the King's Guard, Ketal Whisperwind, came for Yui.

“Vassal, there has been an incident. You must report to the Council at once.”

Yui gave his new mentor a grin. “Already? These assassins must be stupider than I thought.”

At his disciple's seemingly arrogant attitude, the great swordsman drew his blade, held it against the rock, and scraped it to cause a noise so scathingly irritating it caused nausea to all except the one who caused it.

“Alright, alright, I'm coming!” The vassal made his surrender known, coming up the stairs to his commander and disappearing into the brick alley which Ketal had came from.

After they had left, an annoyed Alistair grabbed his stuff, rubbing his ears to relieve it's pain.
