The Toa Maiden Is Betrayed - Page #3

They were as polite as Scout. "Please surrender." "Yes, surrender." The Toa Maiden tried to scuttle away backwards but she was trapped. "Get away!" she cried and parried a spear aside. Implacable and merciless, they knocked her out. She struggled as they brought her to Scout. They were polite, but they were not gentle. "Again, I bow to the superior fighter.

They trussed her on the spears of their fallen comrades. Scout talked to her as they walked along. "I don't want you to be uncomfortable. Drink this down and you'll have a nice sleep." "Even tied up like this, I don't think for a moment that we are safe from you. I respect your abilities too much to leave you awake and alert." "I won't cooperate," she said.
