The Warlock Senator (Book 2) (31 page)

“Good, let’s go,” Braun said decisively. “I am not going to let Lokton Manor fall.”

The three of them walked out the back door and started down the steps. Gildrin cried out and dropped the backpack he was carrying. Erik and Braun turned to see him grabbing his left arm as he fell to his knees and tumbled down the last two steps to land face-first in the flowerbed.

Braun left Erik’s side and rushed to Gildrin. “What is it?” he asked. He turned Gildrin over and saw the man’s eyes frozen open in pain. Braun put a finger to the man’s neck, searching for a pulse he would not find. “He’s gone,” Braun said.

“The curse,” Erik said as he realized what happened.

“No,” Braun retorted. “He said the curse was only active while the warlock was alive.”

“I know,’ Erik said.

Braun turned a confused look to Erik. “You killed him yourself, he’s gone.”

Erik looked down to Gildrin’s body and shook his head. “Somehow, the warlock is alive.”

I like to call myself a well-traveled story teller of Irish and Cherokee heritage.
Currently I live near a Stone Bridge on Eagle Mountain, however, I count seven U.S. states as home. I have spent several years abroad, first as a missionary in the Baltic States and currently as a Diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service. When I'm not wrestling with my sons or hefting iron in the gym I can be found at home relaxing with my wife or setting pen to paper, bringing stories to life.
