Bellona Reborn Part 4

Bellona Reborn Part 4
Ch 4: The Darkest Hour

Reyna and I wait in the brig, the water lapping on the side of the ship. I run my fingers over the dagger blade. A faint brown stain runs along the sharp blade. I cringe. Blood ? Maybe Circe's ? I shudder and try to push the upleasant thought out of my mind. This dagger belonged to Orlick. He killed Circe with it. Reyna Killed Orlick. Now this dagger is mine, and I sincerely hope I will not have to do any killing with it. As the moon rose high in the sky, Reyna sat in the corner of the room, undoing the door hinges. Our time to strike was at hand. The Darkest Hour had come, and I had to be Bellona Reborn, or die in the attempt. **************************
