Zenobia-Challenging

 a Legend

Here's the continued 

scene from

Chapter 28:

      One of the ship’s guards led the girl and her two captors below while another followed. As they went below deck, neither noticed the ties slip from the hands of the captive. As the first guard started to unlock the door to the captives’ quarters, Zenobia clamped her left hand over his mouth and stabbed him through the heart from behind, while the other warriors instantly killed the trailing guard. 

    A quick scan revealed the sleeping quarters. One warrior checked it with Zenobia backing him while the other climbed back up to the deck. They surprised a resting guard, now awake from the laughter of a few minutes earlier, but he let out a yell as he was dispatched near his bunk.

    “I think she bit someone,” the warrior on deck announced loudly, which was a signal. As the captain and sailors laughed, the canvas on the sloop was thrown back and three Syrian archers took down the remaining guard and the mate and sailors. Only the captain was left.

    Zenobia grabbed a sword, charged up the stairs, and faced the captain. She glared at him and snarled, “So, captain, you find the slave trade of young women to be profitable. Well, it can also be deadly!” She walked toward him and he drew his own sword...  

Do you want to know how it all turns 

out for Zenobia?

Coming soon...
