Galin was in a foul mood, his plan to bring Alehial to his side had hit a snag. And to make matters worse a second ally of the Ravenwoods had placed his hands, or feet on his person. His mood tempered a little with Alehial saying she would return to him and a liberal lashing of a slave girl's backside. This way when Sarah would return his darkness would not touch her. The next morning he wondered what Sarah was up to and for a second thought about having Calaban bring her back to him.
Stumble!
