Tracy Falbe is the author of two fantasy series, The Rys Chronicles and Rys Rising. She just
published her sixth novel Savage Storm: Rys Rising Book II. She published her first book in 2005, so she's a veteran indie. :)
From
Savage Storm: Rys Rising Book II by Tracy Falbe
In
this scene Cruce and Rayden prepare for a siege…
At
the village smithy, they found a stone wheel with which to hone their weapons,
and Rayden learned that every single arrow was already on the walls with other
archers. His quiver would stay empty.
“Have
to do this one the hard way,” Rayden sighed and drew his sword and applied it
to the sharpening stone while Cruce spun it with the foot paddle.
“Thanks
for saving me,” Cruce said belatedly.
Rayden
did not look up from his sharpening. “You don’t have to thank me, Cruce,” he
said.
Cruce
fell silent. Rayden was right. Taking care of each other was what they were
supposed to do. Rayden stopped to examine his sword’s blade and deemed it good.
Cruce stopped spinning the sharpening stone and said, “If I die, you can have
my house in Kahtep.”
“Don’t
talk like that,” Rayden said sternly. True disapproval crinkled his happy
boyish face. “I’m not a friend you need to buy.”
“I
didn’t mean it like that,” Cruce said, really regretting if he had caused
offense.
Rayden
slid his sword into its scabbard. “I’m not your friend because of what you
have,” he said.
The
sentiment touched Cruce. A trustworthy friend was a great treasure. Inspired by
rowdy nights in easier times, Cruce’s sense of humor nudged his gloominess. “So
you don’t want the house?” he asked.
Grinning,
Rayden replied, “I can’t afford the taxes.”
