Part 2 of Friends of the Hawk up on FF.net.
Part 2: Finding DirectionHere's a snippet:
Dairren was trying to calm the thundering in his chest with little success. The home of the woman he barged in on looked warm and cozy, but he felt a chill down his back as he heard the armored soldiers come to a stop just outside. Words were being said and he was certain he could hear the voice of the gruff sounding man.
Peeking out through a curtain, the woman who let him in looked outside through the window. Occasionally she glanced nervously back at Dairren, who was leaning with his back on the wall, still clutching to the burlap sack.
The voices outside became louder and heated until the woman gave a little gasp, "No, no, Ser Denny, calm your-." She gasped again when the voices became shouts.
It got Dairren to move. Nearing the window, he pushed aside some of the curtain to also peek out, the woman moving a little aside for him. What he saw made his blood go colder.
The men from Amaranthine had the man she called Ser Denny down on the ground and surrounded. They kicked, punched, and beat him mercilessly. Ser Denny, however, was not completely out of the fight. Giving a bit of a roar he lunged up and grabbed one of his assailants in a headlock, then proceeded to punch the soldier in the head repeatedly. The others grabbed at him, trying to overpower him. It took all of the men there to bring Ser Denny down to the ground again. A solid kick to his head finally made him slump to the ground, unmoving.
"Sweet Andraste," the woman whispered. "What in the world is going on?"
