    Summary

    John was out too late again. It was all he could do, collecting what little wood there was and peat for burning as the chill began to creep into the long nights. His torch was dull, seeming ineffective against the fog settling over the moors, and the moon was in its dark cycle. He trembled with fatigue, with hunger, but he couldn’t afford to rest. The village needed him. He could scarcely put one foot in front of the other. He could scarcely see a foot in front of him. All he wanted was to lay down, to rest.

    I’m here John. The voice tried to comfort him. And I can deliver you.

    “Please, God. Help me!”

    For a price.


    Many generations ago the first Lord MacTavish made a deal with a creature. Now it's come to collect.

    Summary

    Captain Gregor immediately leans his chin on his palm and smiles at Fives. Fives smiles back. He does not perceive this action to be the threat that it truly is.

    “That man’s going to kill him,” Jesse says with his neck craned as far as it will go.

    “Yep,” Kix agrees solemnly.

    “You never know,” Echo says. “He’s squeezed better outcomes out of worse odds.”

    (Fives decides that he's going to join the illustrious, mysterious, and oh-so exclusive Commanders Batch, and he's going to start by becoming besties with Commander Cody. Rex cannot stop this trainwreck but he can certainly watch it happen in slow motion - and occasionally he can offer a word or two of advice.)
