Excerpt from, "Keeper of the Sword."

Adelard, Aonas, Alstrom and the rangers had left about a horoum ago. Josh knew by now that they would be hiding and waiting for Adelard’s signal. Before he left Adelard had changed the plan a little. When the cry of the silver winged night bird sounded three times, Josh was to kill Morgan’s watchers.

At first Josh’s heart had been pounding in his chest, his hands had been sweaty but now he was calm. He knew he could do this. It would be much easier than shooting fish.

TACKA, TACKA, TACKA, KRANGEE-GEE. TACKA, TACKA, TACKA, KRANGEE-GEE. TACKA, TACKA, TACKA, KRAGNEE-GEE.

The razor sharp, black feathered bolt of death sailed across the wide clearing as the last krangee-gee sounded in the stillness of the dark time. The second shaft was less than a heartbeat behind.
