The sun was almost gone by the time Verlian arrived at the designated meeting spot. It was an area quite outside of Veliston that was near the mountains. Hyuren stood standing on top of a large boulder; an unconscious Ravynne was held in his left arm.
"Welcome, welcome!" Hyuren exclaimed excitedly as he held out his right arm in a welcoming manner, "I'll be honest with you, old friend, I didn't expect Bayer to defeat you from the start. I see that he did a number on you though." He motioned to the bloody wound in Verlian's torso.
Verlian clenched his fist as he suppressed the anger that filled his body at the sight of Ravynne. No blood was dripping from her, so it was safe to assume that whatever wounds she had, if any, had most likely stopped bleeding already. That gave him some sense of comfort although he didn't appreciate seeing his woman knocked out in the hands of another.
