RED KNIGHT
a STAR FRONTIERS Novel
by Layne K. Saltern
"Forgive me, your Excellency!" The Red Knight was dressed from head to foot in blood-soaked bandages. His shoulder was set in some sort of cast. Two Sathar soldiers had to carry him in.
"I under-estimated him. Grant me another chance! I will destroy him! I give you my word!"
The silence lasted so long that the Red Knight felt his life would surely be ended.
"Agreed," said the Sathar master after the deathly pause. "You ssshall be given another opportunity. But not until you have been sssufficiently repaired. . .and punished!"
The Red Knight's screams filled every corridor of the Sathar base.
