A Keeper's Tale Short Story
Keeper Chesavia's vow of healing any in need leads her to a remote part of the moors where the dictates of warlords rule every aspect of life.
When she approaches Naj, a notorious warlord, to offer healing for his dying son, Naj allows her to stay, but watches her closely.
Finding Naj to be more interesting than she'd expected, Chesavia comes to understand that his fearsome reputation stems from his two swords, weapons that sow death and destruction to those they touch—and utterly corrupt the one who wields them.
Frightened by the growing darkness in Naj, and unwilling to leave the blades in his possession, Chesavia plans to steal them when she leaves.
Until Naj decrees that her place is with him.
Forever.
