from “Le Coeur de un Mousquetaire”

21 *Juin * 1639
Bertrand looked up to see the king standing before him at the cell door. "good day to you Bertrand." Bertrand inclined his head. "Majeste, is good to see you." Bertrand smiled warmly.
Louis return it. "I regret having placed you in here, but I feel that it was a just decision. there was no other way."
" I am sorry too sire. Though I know that I deserve no less. I had deceived your majeste upon the facts of my son's imprisonment and my family's dishonor."
"I can understand why you would do what you did. you were only protecting your family, and that in itself is Honorable, though I wish you could have found a better way to solve your problem with your son."
" I wish that too sire, though I could find no other way. Savignoun is very dangerous. to himself, as well as to others. I regret him being released and I fear for the safety of all who would cross his path." Louis shrugged. "it was out of my hands. I am afraid Cardinal Richelieu had released him, and his authority is always accepted. at most times, even more so than mine." Louis frowned. "but now, with recent events, perhaps Richelieu shall accept my decision to keep your son in the Bastille."
"I pray that he does sire."
The king shook his head. "I should have heeded your word that he was dangerous. it was lucky that Monsieur Sillegue arrived when he did."
"yes. I feared that Savignoun would seek revenge. I am happy that Juliette is all right. he would have murdered her."
Louis nodded solemnly. "I know that now. I am certain after what you have done, he would indeed seek his revenge upon both you and your daughter."

Bertrand nodded slowly.
"but do not concern yourself with that. he shall be watched. your son has proven to us to be a terrible threat to all, so I think it best that you remain here until we can send him away."
"I am deeply grateful to you majeste."
A tear fell upon The King's cheek. "I still fear for you Mon ami. I care for you very much and I do not wish you to come to any harm." He gripped the bars tightly.
Bertrand placed his hands on his. "it is good that you have placed me here. I am being punished for my dishonor to my family, my deceit to you, and protection from my son's wrath." Bertrand smiled warmly.
"I love you so much. I wish only to do as you command and to make you happy with me." Louis returned the smile and held his hands for the next few minutes.
Bertrand finally released the king's hands. "tell me sire, where is my son?"
"Cardinal Richelieu is keeping a watchful eye upon him. he keeps him busy, so I do not think you should be concerned just now. Beside that, we start a new campaign in a few days. we are off to Soussons, so you shall be out of your son's reach for at least the next 2 months."
"what then after your return? He is dangerous sire. He shall not stop until he is dead."
Louis reached into the cell and placed a hand upon his shoulder.
"I shall do all that I can to protect you. I always look after my men."
"thank you majeste."
Louis gave him a warm smile, then turned to leave. "I shall return soon to see how you are doing." Bertrand watched the king spin on his heel and walk away, back down the way he had come.

Krutch and Celeste were brought to a dungeon in the lower level of the palace. But unlike others that he’d encountered, SPOILER’s prison was cleaner and better kept. He saw no sign of rats or vermin, and though he couldn’t smell with his stuffed nose, he suspected there was no stench to be found.
The walls were painted a light shade of taupe, and the floors were polished and spotless. The cells were tidy, containing a cot complete with fresh sheets, and each even had a toilet. There were no bars, but rather thick panes of glass that slid across the floor like big windows.
As they were locked in their respective cells, he wondered if SPOILER cared about his prisoners’ comfort, or if he just preferred every chamber of his palace kept in pristine condition. Probably the latter.

Awaiting the opportune moment to see a certain Sheltri prisoner for themselves.

- Brother’s Keeper, book one of my fantasy WIP about two brothers linked by a misunderstood power.

The jailer padded up behind them, panting. "I tell ye, ye've made a mistake. The dead one may be a spy; I wouldn't know. But this I do know: [Brother Redacted] himself is in the dungeon. If ye'd heard the music, ye'd know."
They stopped. Ransom's brow creased. "Don't
be ridiculous." He glanced at Rochat. The strident bawling of Cirdaathan bagpipes interrupted them.

"The song of warning," Ransom said. "The Sheltri have come after all. Mark me, the city will shake again, and this time, the gates will open."

Rochat grimaced. "The king will drive the
Rhursans off today, and the cursed Elves. Nothing will break this city. I'm for the ramparts, and let the prisoners rot." Rochat spun and made for the stairs, Rey following, as men called and scrambled to arms.

Farrowlin glanced in the direction Rochat had
gone, then shrugged at Ransom. "He's gone, my lord. We'll never have a better chance."

Deliver us from evil and all that jazz.
From "HatWIP"
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips

I lock myself in my room, my refuge and my prison. I can hear my mom softly crying and Father Rowen trying to comfort her. He told her I would ‘come around’ and that I ‘needed time’. Whatever, let him use his words. Words are a priest's greatest and only weapon. Still, I could not shake the thought, what if I had been dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight? Would I even care?

Stuck on a ship, sucks to be you
To get back out, you must spill blood
Cut off a finger, or a toe
And maybe the ship will let you go
