If they had to train, then their leader did not expect the and practice, they had little tio easy on the in the ather in the cavern, then drove the
SeveralAnd it wasn't long before the other an to make use of the cavern, too
In the dark depths of thethey all needed — hope Even if the captain failed to get the would help theers would have objected to thehad they known about it
But neither they nor their soldiers ever ventured into the ems the mercenaries found to be hauled up, then offered insults to those who carried the valuables
The h their eyes showed a murderous fury whenever they returned to the lower levels
Arran knew that this was so that could not last forever Even with the distraction of training, the er would erupt sooner or later And when it did, he had no doubt that their revenge would be a bloody one
But for the tier, instead channeling their rage into their training
Then, after four months, Captain Kaleesh sun of the man since they had entered thecavern to offer advice and instruction, he'd spentnew ones And even when they saw him, he bore a tired expression
When Arran arrived, he saw that there was a bruise on the captain's face Yet despite the bruise, he slint of purpose
”Today,” he began, ”marks the end of our five months in Kadun's service Earlier this day, I went into the camp and requested that we be released As I expected, the request was refused”

”So what's the plan?” Arran asked
”First,” the captain replied, ”you will need to leave your weapons behind The Rangers won't allow us to travel with them So put them away somewhere safe Once you've done so, we'll head outside”
Arran quickly did as the captain said He returned to his quarters, and produced the star, then hid it away If soh to convince them that he didn't have the sith hi Shadoeapon transform into a metal bracelet By now, it took the weapon barely a second to assuh he could still feel that it wasn't particularly enthusiastic about that particular disguise
When he returned to the captain and the other co near the shaft that led up to the mines' upper levels
But they weren't the only ones who stood waiting Surrounding were at least fifty h none of the erness in their eyes
