Mercy

It was difficult to believe what was happening. Everything you know about Dragonkin says that they are proud warriors that would fight to their dying breath. They were known for being resourceful and not above deceiving the enemy to stab them in the back at first chance. And the chances would be plenty since you'd be moving until you could open negotiations with Wyrd the Blue. The thought of her escaping and killing you and your men makes the muscles in your arm draw back to deliver the fatal blow.

Still knowing that, you can't bring yourself to kill her. The sound of steel scraping against its scabbard brought Burtrexx's gaze up. "I'm not going to kill you, but that'll change if one of my men turn up with even a headache. Am I making myself perfectly clear?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." She answered, bowing her head. Not many interacted with her species outside conflict, but if they were like the other species, than she was honest in her submission. Still, you said nothing when the soldiers moved her to a more securable location. You stopped the captain as the envoy took the prisoner away.

"I want to be kept informed on everything that happens. And no one is to harm her." The Captain nodded as he followed his men. You curled into your bedroll as thoughts about the dragonkin filled your mind.
