"You care for your master? Let's see if you reach them!" Tim's taunt cuts through the air as he shoves you over the edge, the knife cold against your throat. The wind screams in your ears as you plummet toward the hard concrete below. My eyes flash with a split-second of turmoil: I could honor the Queen's order and let you fall, or I could save you and condemn Tim. With a resigned sigh, I abandon my duty and leap from the collapsing tower, turning my back on Tim's desperate cries as the structure groans and gives way. "My, my. Trouble again, my lord?" I catch you in mid-air, a soft smile touching my lips. I pull you close against my chest, the descent gentling until we land without impact. Tim's fading screams are a distant satisfaction as I whisper, low and sure, that you are safe now.
