    15. It was late afternoon when a messenger from Gled told me to hurry home, Jodas accompanied me and we soon arrived at mothers bed, she looked both weak and frail, but sensibly she was being treated by a medical man, quite different from the medicine men, whom mother said were all charlatans with their rattles and mumbo jumbo, she was having some difficulty with headaches, a constant cough, and bouts of dizziness, Mocal said it came on quite sudden and when the cough started she’d insisted on mother being confined to bed, it was a fright seeing mother so helpless, I didn’t say anything I just sat and held her hand as she lay exhausted, she slept fitfully on and off throughout the night, Gled and Jodas also sat at the bedside with me, Gled fussed constantly with the bed clothes until Jodas stopped her, so she went to the kitchen and organized regular refreshments throughout the night, Coatl seemed quite preoccupied, he came and went at least ten times during the night each time he came to mothers room he seemed more agitated, not being able to stand by and see him in such turmoil I followed him out and asked what the trouble was, he said that he had been trying to contact Red Fawn to let her know why they couldn’t be together for a while but she hadn’t answered any of his messages, with all the drama and tension of mother’s illness I’m afraid I ran out of patience with his illegal love affair


    16. The danger that kept Jodas from a restful sleep also saved his life, sitting with his son in the nursery room he saw a shadow flit past the window opening, someone was on the roof, quietly leaving the child he went to Bunda’s quarters two rooms down the passageway, Bunda was fully dressed standing by the window in the dark, he turned, held up two fingers and pointed up towards the roof, they silently left the room moving towards the inside stairs recruiting four guards along the way, at the top of the stairs Jodas very slowly withdrew the bolts and they concealed themselves either side of the door, after what seemed an eternity the door slowly, ever so slowly, began to open, a foot then a head and finally the body came through the door, the second assassin following, both killers were dressed from head to toe in black clothes, when they were three steps past the door Jodas sprang the trap, after a violent struggle they were soon overwhelmed, stripped, bound and dragged, not too gently, down the stairs, the noise had brought more guards running and Jodas ordered a complete room by room search in case there were more killers lurking in the palace, the noise had woken everyone and Gled came down the passage carrying the baby, one of the assassins seeing her spat towards her and screamed that she’d get the same treatment as that whore Red Fawn, one of the guards hit him on the side of the head with the flat of his sword and he keeled over unconscious, Gled carried off this verbal attack with a nonchalance that gained great respect from everyone present, she then asked if anyone had been hurt, getting an answer in the negative she said goodnight and walked away as regal as any goddess


    17.
