After interrogating Edvard and finding out what happened. Za'thul exploded. He roared angrily at the guard stationed just outside Edvard room.

"Find that bitch, and bring her to me"

"Calm down Brother" Kato tried to placate Za'thul "Being angry is no good for your body".

"I should have killed that bitch when I had the chance" Za'thul roared.

"How could you have known that she would have turned out to be a wolf..." Kato injected quickly "A wolf in sheep's clothing that turned to bite the hand that fed her"

If Jayde had overheard the comment about them feeding her, she would have laughed bitterly, a bowl of boiled water with a few grains of rice and rotten vegetables, that is what they considered feeding her?

"But Brother now is your chance to finally get rid of her" Kato went on to say.

Taking deep breaths to calm down his fury, Za'Thul nodded, Kato was right he finally had a chance to get rid of this threat. He was always uneasy about someone finding out that she was his daughter, and if he wasn't so jittery about the gods punishing him for killing his own child he would have gotten rid of her along time ago, but now being able to use family law to kill her, he would finally be free.

Seeing that his brother was calming down, Kato quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Kato and Edvard were relieved that Za'thul had bought their story.

"Edvard rest well," Za'thul said affectionately "Once you have healed I promise I will reward you handsomely"

The stone weighing on Edvard heart lifted and he joyfully smiled at his uncle.

"Thank you, Uncle... ah, I mean Clan Leader.."

"Call me Uncle in private" Za'thul injected.

Nodding his head, Edvard was delighted finally he had impressed his uncle, even his father looked pleased.

"Good son you got there, little brother," Za'thul said patting Kato on his shoulder.

"Ah don't exaggerate big brother" Kato replied acting modestly.

Za'thul and Kato left the medical hall and joined the elders in the clan meeting hall to wait for the guards to bring Jayde. Her death had already been decided, the elders had decreed that she was to be drawn and quartered[1]. She was to be interrogated as to the reason why she stole the Divine tome. Za'thul had already determined that she must have been approached by one of the clan's enemies and he was hell-bent on finding out which clan was making a move on the Freehold clan.

Just then one of the senior guards entered the meeting hall. Saluting the elders he solemnly declared

"The slave Jayde is nowhere to be found, it looks like she has escaped Master" the guard then went on to describe how one of the other slaves in the slave pit had seen Jayde leaving with her small parcel in her hand.

"The seeker hounds found a small fox hole, and her scent leads to outside the estate" he went on to clarify.

"Hunt her down, I don't care what it takes, gather all the guards and bring that bitch back to me—alive—do you hear me!" Za'thul roared.

His face red with anger, Za'thul felt faint, black spots danced in front of his eyes as fury filled his body. With bloodthirsty eyes, he glared at the guard

"What the f*ck are you still standing there for" he thundered "Get the f*ck out of here and find that bitch!"

"Y..y-es Master" the guard stammered, totally flustered he had never seen the clan master this angry before, turning around he quickly fled.

Kato rushed to his brother's side "Calm down Clan Leader" he begged

"Calm down, you want me to calm down—are you out of your f*cking mind, do you have any idea the ramifications of this matter?" Za'thul spat out, his words firing off like a machine gun.

"Our Freehold clan has guarded that Divine Tome for thousands of years—and that... and that" Za'thul spluttered to angry to even carry on

"I know, Clan Leader" Kato placated "I will personally lead the hunting party"

"I will bring her back—alive—so that you may have the pleasure of ripping her to pieces yourself" Kato vowed.

With that Kato straightened his robe, spun on his heel and stormed out of the meeting hall.

Inside the meeting hall, Za'thul could hear his brother calling for his elite guards, telling them to round up the seeker hounds and to get his Fire-Tailed Stallion.

Feeling relieved that Kato was taking over the hunt, Za'thul weakly collapsed onto his chair, lifting his hand to cradle his head, he could feel a mighty headache coming.

Notes:

-------

[1] The process began with the prisoner being placed on a wooden frame and dragged through the streets to the place of execution. On arrival, the prisoner would be placed on the gallows and hung until close to death.

Now comes the nice part. Whilst still alive they would be cut open and disemboweled, often have their private parts cut off and then be beheaded. But that wasn't the end of it. The prisoner was then quartered, i.e. cut into four pieces which could be put on display as a warning to others.
