Against His Heart

Ciaran thought they’d have at least some farce of a trial, or a moment when he could renounce his evil ways and be welcomed back with open arms. But they went straight to execution, forcing him to his knees beside the pond.

“You’ve killed one person here. Killing two here will make this water undrinkable for sure,” Ciaran said.

“Silence,” Eoghan snapped.

Two of the men bound Ciaran’s wrists behind his back, and then they shoved him into the water.

Ciaran’s first reaction was to fight, and fight he did, but then he felt it, crushing weight against his heart.
