Ember Sword Chapter 1: The Dusker Swordman.

  How far have we traveled through this blasted jungle? This place was not my home. I missed that heat of the desert, the gold walls of Maja, the people that loved me. I can't believe I took on this escort mission to Sevrend. This wasn't even your common trade route type of escort but for diplomatic negotiations to form so alliance. This wasn't the Dusker way, but we were getting desperate. Whispers of annexing Dukseron have turned to rumors throughout Maja. I can't go down a single alley without someone chattering. The Duskers were not so easily persuaded. I wondered how the king felt about this? I wondered how Sarh felt about all of this. I missed her. Even though we were Duskers who did not fear battle, I know she worried every time I went on my trading escorts. This one was much different though. Unlike my usual run to Solarwood, I was commissioned triple my pay to escort some advisors of the king to Sevrend for us to form some backhanded partnership to stand agains
