other in what's left of your life, so go making her the idea.- What makes you think I'd stay here forever?-The fact that, as everyone knows, no one has ever escaped from the prison of Gorlian.The name fell on Ahriel as a bludgeon. He turned to his partner and stared.- What did you say? He asked, though he had heard perfectly.-I said Gorlian. What's up, do not you know where you've gone?Ahriel not respond. He was lost in a frantic whirlwind of thoughts that struggled tocontrol.In his later years at Karish, Ahriel had sent many criminals there, but neverpersonally gone to prison. She was confined to lock them in the dungeons of the palace and the next day,simply, they were gone. Ahriel knew there was a series of guardians who take care of theconvicted, but had not seen very often, and had never spoken to them. The truth was that he had nono idea where it was located Correctional Gorlian.

 

But that made no sense. If you were in Gorlian, where were the cells, the bars?, Wherewas the main building?, why criminals went free?He looked Bran.'You lie,' he said. Gorlian is a prison, not a wasteland.The young man laughed sarcastically.-And of course, you know it like the back of your hand.Ahriel not respond.-This place is a prison-damn the man continued. And if it is a wasteland: a barrenand died in the south and a stinking swamp in the north. Both are divided by the Cordillera, a jumble of rockssharp and treacherous. Here there is virtually nothing grows, and is plagued by what we call, for want of another namebest, beasts or monsters: monstrous creatures and instincts hateful murderers. Nobody knows where they haveout these beings, who created and how they have appeared here, but the Desert, Swamp and the Cordillera arefull of them. Our relationship with them is simple: either we eat, or eat us.Ahriel recalled his encounter with the worm cave and suppressed a shudder.We live as wild-concluded Bran. We are the dregs of society, and no one remembersus. Now we can not steal, kill or decent rip people: we steal, kill and estafamos betweenus. In our struggle for survival we learn not to trust anyone. Partnerships are short and endbeing betrayed in favor of their own advantage. In the end, only the strong survive and the brightest, notlong time. Although it does not matter: Gorlian always reach new occupants ... like you.Ahriel left him with alacrity.-I should not be here, 'he said. Marla Queen ...-Do not say that name here, said Bran. Do not, unless it is to curse. She waswho created this prison.-To punish criminals.The human's eyes flashed dangerously, and crossed his face a crooked smile.- Really? Do you know how many innocent people have ended his days here? Do not? Anyone who daresstand in the way of Queen Marla Gorlian be in before you know it ...Ahriel could not help remembering Kendal. He wondered how long it would have taken the young bard in thatlugar.Se up, determined, and headed for the door.- Where are you going?I'm going to get out of here.'You're mad. You can not leave here. He paused and glanced at Ahriel wings. Although suchtime flying ...

I can no longer fly, she replied dryly, but leave here. Lead me to the prison guards.-There are no guards. Nobody cares about this place. Have not you heard? We dumped here and then we forget.But you can not escape. Gorlian limits ... not carry over. Many have tried before you,but none of them ever has.They were human, she replied softly.'I've seen that you're not. But what makes you think you're better than us? I rescued you thereout, and I'm a human.He was wounded Ahriel replied. Since I'm not. Can they do that the humans?The young man opened his mouth to reply, but stared at her and found that all his wounds hadhealed spontaneously. He watched her from head to toe as she walked the room with his eyes, lookingwarm clothes and a weapon that may help.-I know what you said finally. You're an angel.Ahriel saw no need to respond.

 

-And I've only heard of one-Bran continued: the guardian angel of the queen Marla. It's you, right?Ahriel turned to him, pointing furs hanging from a ledge on the wall.- What animal belonged?-A two-headed monster misplaced. But listen ...Ahriel skin turned from in disgust and left the hut without a word. The cursed humanbreath and went after her.Outside, the rain had subsided, but the scenery was still as bleak. Advanced Ahriel determined. Youhard to believe that Marla had knowledge of that awful place to send their criminals. No doubt some ofthey deserved such a fate, but, as I said Bran, other ...Ahriel shook his head. Those were dark men, as the individual who had placed the stocks in thewings, and were necromancers, dark monks or worshipers of the shadows, which undoubtedly exerted a badinfluence on his protégé. And she, Ahriel, had not known him in time, but could still make amends.Just had to get out of there, back to Karishia, clean up and restore the kingdom Marla to the path of good. Only ...-If you're really the Queen Angel Marla, you are not welcome here, 'said the man's voice behind her.Ahriel not answer.-Your queen has ruined the lives of all men and women of Gorlian insisted the young man. Everyone will wantyou dead.'I will not stay here long. His partner shrugged. 'As you wish. I cantake you to the limits of Gorlian for you to see for yourself. Ahriel turned to him.- And do you ask me to change? Bran smiled.-You learn she said. I'll explain: As you have seen, I'm not very big. And withoutBut I have been here a long time. I managed to survive thanks to my cunning, and the fact that so far Igone off, but I've managed to everyone I know. But the truth is that I know themall better than they think he smiled. I'm worth it to keep throwing.-Get to the point Ahriel said. You talk too much.'News travels fast in Gorlian' he continued. I know I beat up guys Yuba. Aagainst four and came out winning. That means, angel, you're in trouble. Yuba want revenge and, on the other hand, theKing of the Swamp will be interested in having you control. You may be good but you will not last here if youall against you. What I propose is this: I teach you how to survive in Gorlian and take you to the limitsfrom prison. If you find a way to escape, take me with you. If not ... say, simply, that Ineed a favor.- Would you stop that? How do you know that I will fulfill my part of the bargain?I know little of the angels, but I do know that you have a high sense of honor and duty-smiled again-. If it's true what they say about you, no wonder it is Marla rid of you. What I do notunderstand is why we took so long to see you here.Ahriel ignored the comment.'So, if I can not leave here, I'll owe you a favor. What do you mean by that?-It's my way of surviving. I always know what people need and where to get it. Most of thepeople here owes me.-But they will return the favor ...The man shook his head.-Some consider me as to what things must. Not only know what people need, butAlso ... and this is the most important ... secrets that would not be willing to tell: vulnerabilities, plans,strategies, information hiding ... I use to my advantage. Haggling. Make deals ...-Scams and extort-understood the angel, looking disgusted.Again, Bran shrugged.-If you have a minimum sense of honor, no need trys to you too. I think what you have proposed sounds reasonable. What do you say?

 

Ahriel mused. Stoop felt that if he accepted work with a trickster like this, but had torecognize that he was in a strange world and must survive in it ... to get back to Marla.He turned to the man and offered his hand.

-I accept.

He smiled, and shook it.-You will not regret. By the way ...

I still do not know your name?.

-My name is Ahriel.
