Blood Of The Righteous
by J. E. Sandoval
Your younger brother, thought murdered with the rest of your family four years, might be alive. How far would you go?This is the conflict faced by Gabriel Ki Kalendeen, a knight in service to the church. He and his sister Eleenia, a brilliant healer, set off on a quest to find out the truth about their brother David, and to find the identity of those who spilled the blood of the righteous.Have you ever gone out to dinner with friends, expecting to enjoy a lovely meal, with poignant conversation...and instead have met with back-biting, in-fighting, and casual betrayals--all of it unspoken, sent to you by text?Or, rather, sub-text?The following conversation is a testament to just such a situation, where the table-talk above is merely a facade, and while what's really going on is candidly spelled out--in cool and cruel detail.Sub-texting is approximately 400 words.
