Pursuit I

Freya didn't manage to extract anything useful from the memories of the two knights. Their minds had safeguards against mind invasion spells in place. Hugo suspected that Captain Izad might have been bait put in place to lure a Dark Church assassin into a trap. He couldn't tell whether the Migotir Royal Guards or the Sacramento Order were responsible. He wasn't willing to stay to find out. He wouldn't risk his life to dispel his doubts.

His sixth sense was tingling with unease. Earlier, Freya had told him he might be in the process of awakening a seer-type ability. He had no intention of ignoring such premonitions. He decided to leave as soon as possible.

He had no sympathy for Captain Izad's sycophants. He sent them to meet their maker as soon as Freya finished her attempt to sift through their memories.
