Favours For Blood

Favours For Blood is the sixty-third chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Sharess attends the abaddon's court during a great feast where baals, baalhes, lords and ladies of the realm have gathered to enjoy the abaddon's hospitality. They are joined by generals, warchiefs and other commanders who represent much of the military of Sheol'gotha, and Fall-un'tir calls upon them to show their loyalty to the abaddon by going out and proving themselves the greatest warrior by bringing Valon's head back to Nazrin.

The warriors begin to depart to conduct this task, and Sharess catches sight of Abjuris and Fea-turin. Compelled to speak with them, she slips out and travels through a side passage, waiting for the two of them. She is about to speak with Abjuris when Fea-turin spots her and steps in the way, obscuring her and sending his brother off without him. He explains to her that Abjuris is not in a good mood and that she should not speak with him.

Sharess apologizes for making it appear that she preferred Valon over the others, and Fea-turin admits that his concern for his family was not based on his siblings, but his affection for Sharess. He recalls the relic Valon touched and the way Sharess had responded, but Sharess is suddenly struck by the idea and asks whether Fea-turin could retrieve that relic for her. He makes no promises, and warns her to rest for the baby's sake as he departs.
