After many hours, sunrise comes over the horizon, sweet sunshine that lights up the world, and protects us from the shade that may see through her deception, but must wait until darkness to follow us.<br/><br/>When we stop at last to eat and rest our horses, i plan to give her handmaiden lessons on handling a blade. Theres no way i can teach her enough to hold off against a trained warrior,but she might get lucky, or hold them back long enough.<br/><br/>My thoughts are always of the mission and destination. Im being paid to do a job, but if im doublecrossed, or she tries to take over, i will leave her to the shade. Im dedicated to my job, but i dont suffer fools. I never have, and i never will.<br/><br/>Hoping that it doesnt come to that, i glance back at Duncan and the lady, then turn back to check the road ahead of us.
