The Puma Ward Change in Trouble In AC Land
These people, Corax shook his head and brought his attention back to the guard.
“You!” One wearing a full helmet pointed at him. “You are here to overthrow the queen, are ya?” The voice was muffled from the closed visor.
“Well, actually…no,” Corax smiled. “I’m here to save this land of her oppression.”
“You will surely die for that!”
“May I ask your name, guard, before I run you through?” Corax smiled as he pulled his sword from its sheath.
The guard removed the helmet. Her hair fell around her shoulders, reflecting the sun from its golden locks.
“A woman!” Corax gasped.
“Captain Puma Ward is my name,” she said firmly as she pulled her sword.
Corax faltered. Lowering his sword, he stared at the woman. “Puma Ward?”
“Yes.”
Puma . . . she saved my father’s life several years ago, Corax thought. I certainly cannot kill her. “Do you not recognize my crest?” he asked with hope.
“Aye, I do, knight,” Puma nodded. “But my service is to the queen.” She looked at the man to her right. “Morgunda, bind him and send him to Tomm.”
The man nodded and approached Corax with leather straps. Puma sheathed her sword and stared at the young knight.
After Morgunda had him securely tied, he slapped Corax on the back of the head. “I hate RavenCads,” he sneered.
“Enough!” Puma shouted. “Just take him to Tomm. I will personally inform the Queen of our…visitor.” With a slight nod, Puma walked toward the castle with Morgunda following, pushing Corax along the way.
