Chapter 30: How Do You Rule A Ruler?
Sethlzaar turned his attention in the direction of the girl with the tray. To his expectation, Soartin was walking up to the serving girl and the man in his usual steps, regal and composed. It was something that made Sethlzaar suspect the boy's family was quite similar to royalty in Alifat, his posture more of a failed noble than a warrior, like the rest of them.
"The lady doesn't want you," Soartin told the man when he arrived there.
The man's grip tightened before his attention turned to Soartin. "Sod off before I..." the rest of the sentence die in his mouth the moment his eyes met Soartin.

Their fourth year in the seminary saw them prepared for the test of speech under the tutelage of Father Ulaka. They rose at the fourth hour and attended mass. The fifth hour would see them swimming and climbing as they had done in preparation of the test of self with Father Antuas. In the room they would sit in decency, a posture that made them look the part of civilized boys, forced upon them by Father Ulaka.All their years they always wondered how Father Antuas always sat awaiting their arrival in the room. It was obvious that the priest climbed but they had never beheld it. Father Ulaka proved a priest that, if not anything, was perpetual in his tardiness for their lesson, never arriving on time, or later than thirty minutes. What annoyed them most was in the way he carried himself, walking the room as he taught them in superiority as though he had not climbed up the edge of the room before their very eyes. Late.Having only worn his cassock on

Sethlzaar was summoned last and he had the feeling that it was a conscious choice of their judges."Sethlzaar Vi Sorlan," the Monsignor summoned him to his feet.Sethlzaar rose and began in vrail, hoping to spin a tale of Father Forn at least half as compelling as Soartin's. "My tale is of Father Forn the—"

In the month of Martis, third of the year, they took to the horse under the tutelage of Father Bjorg. He proved adept at understanding the animals and possessed an in-depth experience with the skill. But while he was a skilled instructor, he seemed to favor the safety of the horses over the lives of the brothers.The horses presented before them were stallions no older than two years. Bjorg over saw the pairing, observing as they picked their mounts from the stalls. Omage opting for a chestnut which somehow looked graceful, earned himself a slap from the priest, something they learned in time

It was early into his sixth year in the seminary in the month of Janus, first of its year, when Sethlzaar first saw a face from the conisoir.The snow covered the dirt and the brothers walked the compound clad in their fur cloaks of wolf skin. Father Yggdra had them in the training room where the ground rose and fell at varying angles. Today he had them spar with brothers from Zanujaj.

The streets, although not as choked as it would be on festivals, swarmed with people trampling whatever was left of the snow scattered across the stone floor. It was Sethlzaar's worse part of the days of outing. A test of the crowd.

They found themselves under the command of Father Yggdra the next day. The hall he led them to was different from the one they had practiced in their years in the seminary. This hall was grand and open with more air than they thought a building capable of accepting. The ground was level with the pick of dust at the slightest step.As they walked their feet raised dust. But Father Yggdra seemed to glide above it, each step soundless, the one to succeed each even quieter than the one before. An action he seemed to perform without thought.

Sethlzaar's brothers rarely discussed the training in his presence. A sense of empathy, he noted. In time even the priests favored him with looks of pity. Priestess Emeril not so subtly reduced the force with which she pushed him during their personal practice of the bow. The greatest blow came when Father Ordan proved sparing with the cane, flogging him for only the dumbest of mistakes."So tell us, brother. What's her name?" Omage spoke between bites as they ate in the dining hall one evening.

The night was cold and Sethlzaar ran through it on an open clearing, stopping at one of the buildings around. There, he bided his time.Why does it have to be tonight? he thought. Especially now that he's angry. His mind flashed to Cynth, and he shook his head. This was no time to be distracted by the old man, he needed to focus.
