Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
"I don't understand why we have to come down here," a boy told his father. The truth was that he did understand. He understood too well, as a matter of fact. The only reason the boy spoke was because of his nerves. He was frightened, and he covered it by speaking.
"We need to take them by surprise," the man reminded him gently. He could sense his son's nervousness. "And to do that, we need these tunnels."
The father and his son were descending the lowest staircase either of the had ever gone down. The father was familiar with the course. He had been down in the tunnels several times before. The boy was not as experienced. He had never even heard about the tunnels beneath his tribe's territory, let alone been down there.
"I know, but—"
"Don't worry, Sawyer," the man interrupted. "You're perfectly safe with me. We'll be out of here in a couple of hours. We just need to scout before the troops march down." Adding a little humor to his voice, he continued, "I thought you wanted to do this. You're not going to let me down now, are you?"
Not being much of a joker, Sawyer returned humorlessly, "I wouldn't dream of letting down the King of Vitchreonyo."
The king laughed as if his son had just told the greatest joke. Sawyer inwardly squirmed. Though he knew that his father was trying, he was not lightening the mood.
