Corum was glad to Marz, and was even happier when his friend mentioned going to the dinner hall for food, after all, he was simply famished from the events of the afternoon. Corum finished dressing, and accompanied Marz to the room to eat.

Once there, they encountered Kazabet, who informed them that she would be leaving for a short period of time, but would return by evening. The best part was that she was going to leave her bedroom door open for Rowan. Corum only smiled as he looked at Marz about this intriguing match. “Maybe he likes sleeping with women that turn people into undead,” Corum stated to his friend trying to stifle a laugh. After all, he really didn’t want to get on the queen’s bad side.

After the mention of Kazabet doing a better job with the zombies, Corum simply nodded in agreement. “Yeah, I know,” Corum stated. “I spotted one with a sword just before I came to my room. She must have found some good warriors or something to add to her arsenal.”

Corum started to dig in on the bread and strawberry preserves since he was really hungry. Obviously the preserves wouldn’t replace a good steak with all the trimmings, but if nothing else, it made a good entrée for the dinner that was to come. He spooned the preserves onto the bread, and downed at least several slices. “This stuff’s not too bad,” Corum explained to Marz who had returned with a pitcher of juice, and had poured two glasses of the stuff. It wasn’t wine, but Corum needed something to wash down the food with. He picked up the glass, and listened to Marz as he proceeded to drink from it.

******************


Brat had been extremely busy. Once Corum had returned to the palace, Brat and Eyes had gone exploring the entire place. They had found some nice, not to mention small, hiding places where they could look around without getting noticed. One of the places they found themselves was in the kitchen area. Although they didn’t enjoy the company of zombies, they felt a bit settled considering their Corum had nothing to say about them.

They succeeded in stealing bits of bananas for Brat, and some cheese for Eyes, as they continued to explore their surroundings. One of the zombies was busy making the juice, and Brat simply stared at the human, while eating his banana from his concealed vantage point. Now Brat had partaken of juice before, and so it made him wonder why this zombie would place a powder inside the pitcher. The more Brat and Eyes looked at the creature, the more they didn’t trust it. They really had no reasons not to trust it, but instinct informed them that he was not a good person.

The one known as Marz had come into the kitchen, and Brat was about to jump on his shoulders, but suddenly decided to stay where he was. The man handed the juice to Marz, and once the youth had gone, a smile formed on the man’s face, only after he had looked around as if to check if anyone was looking at him.

The other zombies were busy preparing the evening’s main meal. The one preparing the meat had moved away to get something, and during its absence, the one that had poured the powder into the juice, now proceeded to pour more of the same powder out of a satchel he carried on him, onto the meat. Brat scratched his head, and wondered about this. Once the man was out of the way, Brat and Eyes scurried out of their hiding place, trying to get into the main room where Corum was. Unfortunately the door was closed, and they could only wait under the table until someone walked out, giving them the opening they needed.
