Child of Storm

CHAPTER VII
18/24

Now listen again.

Were it not for Macumazahn here, whom I do not desire to mix up with my quarrels, I would bid my men take you and beat you to death with the handles of their spears, and then go on and serve the Boar in the same fashion in his mountain sty.

As it is, these things must wait a little while, especially as I have other matters to attend to first.

Yet the day is not far off when I will attend to them also.
Therefore my counsel to you, Cheat, is to make haste to die or to find courage to fall upon a spear, unless you would learn how it feels to be brayed with sticks like a green hide until none can know that you were once a man.

Send now and tell my words to Masapo the Boar.
