[Mkguild] Life As We Know It XIV

[Jack Moore]

AN: I admit this section is short. I also admit I haven't read the Winter
Assault recently, and in fact only read it once so any information I am
wrong on please let me know.

Life As We Knot It - XIV

Investigation – Twenty-Four Hours Remaining
At first I just stood there in shock.  What do you do when your superior
gives you twenty-four hours to determine if someone is lying?  Answer, you
start by speaking to the accused.  Which is how I found myself standing
outside of Chamomile’s cell again.  This time though I was armed with my
small common book I used for investigations
“Where’s the squirrel cat thing?” She asked, not even bothering to look up.
“He’s busy.  You will remain in our custody for the next twenty-four
hours.  And as such I would like to begin with your story.”  Chamomile
sighed.  “You’ve been accused of being with Nasoj during the Yule assault,
do you corroborate this?”  She laughed.
“Do I remember where I was four months ago?” Her head popped up, giving me
an incredulous look.  “Yes I do, I was with his forces, fighting to bring
Metamor to its knees.”  I nodded and scratched that into my notebook.
“And your goal was what?”
“I don’t know, maybe the complete domination of the South for my great
lord?” Chamomile said.  “Why else would I be following him?”  She sat up,
“Incidentally what were you doing during the Yule?”  I paused.
'Kaysar don’t worry about that!  The Keep will be fine, I’m protecting
you.  That’s my priority!'
“It’s not important.” I said, looking up.  “And as you worked with Nasoj,
no doubt you killed some of our civillians?”
“Of course I did.” Chamomile said.  “That’s kind of the point of an
assault.”  I Tapped her mind again, only to this time find nothing of
note.  It was like she wasn’t thinking about this at all.  “My only regret
is when we had to flee.  It’s a fitting way for you to experience the New
Years isn’t it?  Driving out those who wish to bring order.”  I paused.
“The New Years?” I asked.
“Of course.  I’d have rather fought to the death, instead of fleeing on the
last day of the year.”  I closed my notebook.  Because my mind couldn’t
process her answer.
The Yule Assault ended before New Year.
