will not be pleased if we fuck this up and I have no intentions of letting one of you assholes get me killed,” Jalorn warned, making sure that his team understood him.
Now that Dagog had taken over control of the Relian Empire, the days of lazy contentment were gone and anyone who didn’t want to put in the effort to help Dagog achieve his goals were summarily killed. Jalorn wasn’t going to end up being one of the casualties of Dagog’s arrogance and narcissistic need to rule this world.
He turned to his team with a growl. “We’re supposed to be tourists enjoying the area and that is what we will continue to pretend. Now get moving! I want camp set up within an hour, we’re leaving early in the morning!” Jalorn said as he watched the rest of his men scramble to do as he said. Everyone but Blint.
Blint shuffled around, holding his cheek and doing as little as possible. Jalorn knew the moment Blint was assigned to him that he would end up killing him. Jalorn wasn’t sure when he would kill him, but it looked like it was going to be sooner than he thought.
He hadn’t been kidding about not screwing this up. There was no way that he was going to be their psychotic leader’s next victim. It had taken him years to gain Dagog’s trust and he wasn’t going to let that work be ruined by the latest round of defective clones assigned to him. Even if he had to kill them all and complete the mission himself.
If Dagog wanted him to find some mythical place that his father had found long ago in these mountains, then that’s what he was going to do. He just hoped like hell it was here, otherwise, Jalorn wasn’t going back to tell the crazy fool that he was wrong.
Chapter Five
Gracus woke slowly, as if his body was coming out of a really heavy sleep. As his mind began to function a little more clearly, his eyes popped open and he sat up quickly. Too quickly and he turned when he felt hands trying to right him as he swayed.
“Scaden! What…?” Gracus said as he looked at Scaden and Amun’s concerned gazes.
Amun stepped forward and began running scans to ensure Gracus was free of the drug as Scaden tried to explain things to their confused friend.
Scaden cleared his throat, unsure how to begin. “Do you remember the cabin?” He asked, trying to figure out what Gracus remembered.
Gracus held his head in his hands as an image popped in his head about a large and beautiful cabin near a sizeable river in the mountains. Then he saw another one of him walking through a forest, watching birds and squirrels.
Gracus looked up at Scaden and nodded his head slowly, unsure why he was having a problem with his memory and why he was in a MedLab. “I remember the cabin. What the hell happened?” Gracus asked Scaden and Amun, a sinking feeling in his stomach.
Amun spoke up. “You purchased some candy in town that contained a legal drug. Your body reacted badly to the combination and you were found by a river guide, unconscious in the woods. The drug is being flushed out of your body and the more that is removed, the more your memory will return to you. You should be fully normal by tomorrow morning,” Amun said, watching Gracus closely for any signs of a problem in his healing.
Gracus looked blankly at Amun, trying to process what he was telling him. For some reason it felt like it was taking his mind a long time to comprehend the words that Amun had spoken. And the images that began popping in and out of his head were just as slow as his thoughts, even though they were helping him remember.
“Mike’s Mountain Magic Blend…,” Gracus said as Amun and Scaden nodded.
“It was drugged?” Gracus asked, his forehead scrunched as he tried to remember.
“No,” Amun said reassuringly. “It’s a legal drug that is only available in a few states. No one thought to warn you…” Amun wasn’t sure what else to say about that and just let it go.
