The Marshal's Orders

Le Xuan closed the door behind her, leaving Klyse behind with the orders not to do anything that consisted of escape, making trouble, or using his powers.

Klyse was left helplessly inside. He couldn't even go against his master, but he couldn't harbour any bad feelings about her either. How annoying! How stifling! How hateful!

He couldn't even describe the feelings roiling inside him properly, so he decided to just go to sleep. He had been dead for so many years, so he had to rest a bit to console himself from all his mental anguish. 

The group of them looked at Le Xuan, who looked like she was keeping a mask of calm, like the rest of them, but her eyes were anything but.

They'd heard everything that Klyse had been forced to reveal to them. He couldn't even lie or omit any truths because of Le Xuan's command. It could be said that the slug was rather miserable.
