Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The First Cut...(18+)

The cut came three nights later, and it was not aimed at Korr’s throat.

It was aimed at the story.

A young fighter from the first band Tern, a solid spearman who had stood with Korr at the river camp was found at dawn with his skull cracked open against the stones near the lower water channel.

No River paint.

No sign of a struggle long enough to wake the nearby guards.

Just a body and a heavy stone that had done the work.

The tribe gathered fast.

Rumors moved faster.

Some said Tern had argued with one of Elka’s new men the night before over a share of meat.

Others claimed he had spoken too loudly about the Matron’s gladiator rising higher than men who had bled longer.

A few whispered that the dead man had seen something in the dark he should not have seen.

Vara stood over the body with Elka and Gron at her sides.

Korr waited two paces behind her, axe in hand, the morning wind cold on the scars across his ribs.

”No one saw,” the nearest guard reported, eyes fixed on the ground.

”The watch changed at the midpoint of the night. The body was already cooling when the new men arrived.”

Elka’s face showed nothing. ”Convenient.

A strong arm from the first band dies in the dark, and the only stories that rise are the ones that point toward my people.”

Vara’s voice was flat.

”Stories rise where the blood is.

We will have the truth before the sun is high.”

They did not get the full truth.

What they got was enough to make the split visible to anyone still pretending it did not exist.

Two of Elka’s newer fighters Drak and a lean man named Vesh were brought forward. Both denied the killing.

Both had been seen near the water channel after the watch change.

Neither had clean hands when the questions began.

Vara ordered them held.

Elka did not protest in public, but the look she gave Vara across the stone was sharp enough to cut.

Gron watched the entire exchange in silence.

When the crowd finally thinned he spoke only to Vara and Korr.

”This is the first real cut,” he said.

”Not deep enough to kill the body of the Tribunal, but deep enough to show the color of the blood.

Elka did not need to swing the stone herself. She only needed the tribe to see that men who stand too close to the Matron’s favorite can die in the dark without anyone paying the full price.”

Vara’s jaw was tight.

”I can still put her new collection in the pit.”

”And if you do, half the second band will remember that you struck first over a dead man whose killer was never proven.

That memory will outlive the blood.”

Gron’s cracked eyes moved to Korr.

”You are the reason the cut was made here. The songs made you bright.

Bright things draw the first blades.

Stay brighter.

Or become something harder to cut.”

He left them there with the smell of the dead man’s blood still in the air.

That night the caves felt tighter.

Vara did not wait for Korr to come to her. She found him near the weapon racks, took him by the wrist, and led him into her chamber with a grip that left no room for question.

The flap closed hard behind them.

She pushed him against the wall and kissed him like she was trying to brand the shape of her mouth into his.

When she pulled back her eyes were dark and furious.

”She is testing how far she can push before I break the waiting,” Vara said.

”Tern is dead because he stood near you and spoke your name too freely.

The next one will be closer.”

Her hands worked the loincloth free.

She wrapped her fingers around his cock and stroked him with rough, possessive pulls until he was fully hard.

Then she turned, braced both hands on the stone, and looked back over her shoulder.

”Take me like you mean to keep what is yours.”

Korr stepped in, shoved the leather up over her hips, and drove into her in one hard thrust.

She was wet and ready.

The sound she made was low and fierce.

He set a deep, punishing rhythm, one hand gripping her hip hard enough to bruise, the other braced beside hers on the wall.

Each stroke drove a sharp breath from her throat.

The bone necklace swung and clicked against the stone.

”Harder,” she ordered. ”Make me feel that the songs still have a man behind them.”

He gave her harder.

The wet slap of skin filled the chamber.

Vara pushed back to meet every thrust, silver-streaked hair falling forward.

When she came it was with a raw, open cry that the guards outside could not have missed.

The clench of her body pulled Korr over the edge with her.

He buried himself deep and spilled while she shuddered around him, the two of them locked together in the firelight.

They stayed joined for several long breaths. Then she straightened, turned, and dragged two fingers through the mess on her thigh. She brought them to her mouth and tasted, eyes never leaving his.

”The first cut has been made,” she said quietly.

”The next one will decide whether the Tribunal still has three voices or only the ones loud enough to keep standing.

Stay close.

Sleep lighter.

And if Elka’s people come for you in the dark, do not leave any of them able to carry stories back.”

Korr touched the fresh marks his hands had left on her hips. ”I will not.”
