  5. My wife obtained this bracelet recently. It is NOT 'steampunk' fashion; this is the real deal from the 1880's. What would this style have been called? It pre-dates Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

    Beware the Ills: Part 42

    My hands start digging again, only they’re calmer and slower. I need to contemplate my next four moves. Haukter must be killed, he’s the chief threat. He hit me from far away. No one has ever done that before. The confrontation in front of the Ills, where I crushed his chest with my hilt and bled him, must’ve been a ruse to lower my defenses and expectations. He was building my confidence.

    Awfully smart.

    The hole grows even bigger. You could fit me inside now. It’s a nice place for you, Blue. It’s away from the mountains, memories, stalking Ills, and cold graveyards. We’re too far from the rock empty part of shore for the invaders to notice your grave. You won’t have to notice them either; it’ll always be a luminous empty shore for you to watch.

    It’s a good spot, Blue.

    His body feels lighter than his frame would imply. I’m still weak from Haukter’s poison. I drag him to the frosty edge and tilt him over into the hole. He falls and the trees shutter slightly. The snow falls on him inside his grave. It looks peaceful, a natural serenade. His body tightens up inside the hole. It’s a little too small for him.

    He still looks frail inside his grave.

    Filling the dirt’s much easier. It only takes a short amount of time till the dark dust has covered him completely. The top of his grave looks exactly like overturned earth and nothing else. I don’t like it. It’s not clean, but filthy, and unkempt. It doesn’t honor him at all. If there were rocks near me, I would outline the spot. Of course, who would come to look for him? I already know where his grave will be. Only his father knew of him, and I killed his father.

    His father, I will leave him a piece of his father.

    The snow still drifts the same cloudy pattern. The daylight falls quietly like silk. I lay the silver Untaro fur across the overturned dirt. Much better, much better. I use some small pieces of sharpened wood to pin the fur into the ground. They’re tight enough for the cloak to stay still in the wildest of winds. The grave looks pleasant. The snow picks up as I stare at it. It’s growing colder, too. My breath hangs like smoke in front of my eyes. My back feels light without fur. I’ll miss the protection. My black armor looks oblong without the cloak. The black spike on my left shoulder looks uneven in comparison to the rest of my plated armor.

    No matter though, it wouldn’t be right to use it.

    I stare at the grave, nothing moves, nothing happens. I have to leave, though, I don’t want to. I have to leave, Blue, but I don’t want to. At least I can leave you with a piece of your father. I can do that for you.

    I run.

    Haukter will be around. I don’t know when, or where. I don’t know. I don’t really care either. I will kill him. The trees bow before me dark and black. I’m cutting through them as I run. It’ll take me a little while to reach the Diamond Town, even in a full sprint. The time seems like a minor epoch, but I will maintain my run. Blue ran me halfway across the island with a shredded back. Quite a distance, it’s a remarkable thing. I’ll kill them, Blue. I will kill Haukter. The paths between the trees are becoming cloudy as the sun blooms the new frost. The sun rarely shines like this so early in the day. 

    How did he hit me?

    I knew he was strong. I knew he ate men and Ills. I even suspected he intimidated Blue, and in an open confrontation with him would’ve won. The invaders will be a match for Haukter if I should fail. The man with the spear was powerful, he may have made Haukter nervous, but he still would’ve been defeated. I haven’t had a competition like this since I first started fighting in the forest.

    Haukter, a minor transgression, has been groomed into a major inconvenience.

    How he became this strong, I don’t know. He’s a complete and utter mystery to me. There are no mysteries on this island. I’ve had to know everything. It keeps the Ills and invaders at bay. It could be in Haukter’s culture to survive? The ability to learn in new and foreign environments, those tendencies would be good to know. Too bad I killed his entire clan and kin. Sometimes, my long-term strategies are rather faulty. Who would have known there’d be something in his blood that would make him so tedious and tenacious?

    You fools in the city, you have no idea what awaits you. The Ills could also kill them; quite easily in fact, the townsfolk would be no match for them. I left the conversation with the prince rather abruptly. I did not kill him, or his bodyguards.

    I hope he understands what my mercy meant.

    I’ll be releasing my novel Beware the Ills in segments every Friday. You can find out more about the book right here, or check out Amazon’s info. I love this book. Happy to simply share it.
