Chapter 10 by Manbear Manbear

Who is she?

Ophira, missing sister of one of your men

Ophira, the golden one. The flier has only her first name, but you are sure you know the identity of the woman.

The picture shows a young woman clutching a rag to her bosom hiding all of her left side but the artist has done a clever job of revealing most of one of the girl's small breasts as well as the feminine curve of her hip and thigh. The pose is at the same time modest and inviting, but your eyes concentrate on the face of the pictured ****. You have seen her image on the locket worn by your lead scout Antonius of Tyre; Ophira shared the same high cheekbones and delicate face of her brother.

When he asked to join your squad you demanded a reason, you wanted to know why he wanted a transfer out of the command tent and back into a position where he could be killed in any number of ways. He showed you the locket and told you that his sister had been captured from a ship when she had been travelling to visit her aunt. He knew, even before the official orders came down, that you would be the first men from the united army to reach the southern part of the city. He asked for the transfer so he could find his sister before the rest of the army did.

You weren't sure he would be accepted by the rest of the squad, he was cultured while they are brutish. Antonius read philosophy while your men could barely sign their names and he would spend his pay on fine dining while your men would head to the nearest brothel. Despite these differences he quickly became a favorite of the men; he was friendly and generous and was willing to do all the unpleasant tasks that needed to get done.

This might be the tool you need to get him on your side, with his help you could convince one or two of the less wild of the men to go to the South Tower. Would Antonius be willing to join you if you promised to help him find your sister when the drake-wires were cut.

Should you tell Antonius about the flier immediately, or wait until after the cables have been cut?
