      Adderand - Rick Dearman

      / ADDERAND / 15

      Adderand

      By Rick Dearman

      Copyright 2011 Rick Dearman

      Deren the squire struggled behind Bron in the darkness. A backpack larger than he was pulled him off-balance. Oil lamps lit the street but the wooden planks on the sidewalk where he walked were in semi-darkness, the light blocked by the overhanging roofs. The rough-hewn boards were treacherous underfoot forcing him to watch each footfall with care.

Many people are interested in knowing how he managed that. As for that story of escaping from the slave pits, a load of rubbish! Deren had often heard people accuse Baron Adderand of treason, but never within ear shot of the King.

      Deren looked to the street, watching his master’s horse. Bron and his four
