TW: Themes of violence. The following is a work of fiction. Her reaction had been to take the opportunity to draw his sword. He had no doubt she would have tried for his life. Perhaps he should have left her people living. She hated him now. He had sensed a cool interest from her as they had spoken, moments before he had given the signal that his men kill her kin. Some of his men thought he should have killed her, spiteful for the death of their fellows whom she had killed with such ease. But Laukey respected that she had acted as he would. He killed her people, she killed his. And she would be useful eventually, he knew.

TW: Themes of violence and gore. The following is a work of fiction. For three days, they had travelled directly south. The camels steadily trekking over satiny dunes. The beasts had belonged to Belfin. Although the Capelli were known for their fine desert horses, they did not thrive at Belfin and there was no need for them. The camels did not need as much water and could live off the sparse pasture, giving milk and a means of travel. The marauders, as Urla knew them to be now, had stolen the lives of so many of her kin, along with the black furred camels that were so precious to them. Had been so precious to them.

TW: Themes of violence and gore. The following is a work of fiction. Urla was forced to share the black camel with the murderer Laukey. He said he wanted to keep her close so he could be sure she stayed out of trouble. His reasoning was good enough. Give her a knife and there would be two murderers riding the camel. One living, the other dead.
