All from Above: Chapter 4
| May 31, 2022"If you want to ever see the boy alive, you need to impress me. Quickly"
Marat spoke slowly, his gaze steady on Naftali’s face.
“You know something, little child? I think it might be a shame to see your little mind go to waste. Just a pity. You’re clever, and there’s not too many boys like you in this world. If I’m the king of strength, then perhaps you’re the master of wits.”
“I don’t understand what you’re getting at.”
“I’m offering you a way out. Better act quick, or I’ll reconsider my offer.”
“Ah… How much?”
“Go fetch every coin in this village, boy. Then, I’ll tell you how much.”
Naftali went.
Even with Chaim's help, the sum they brought back to Marat was not pleasing to the giant fiend.
“Never mind my entire proposition.” Marat snarled at the bag of coins Chaim offered him. “If I’m going to renege on a direct order from my king, I won’t do it for less than a real fortune. If you want to ever see the boy alive, you need to impress me. Quickly. Otherwise, we’re leaving right now.”

Shimshon could only watch as two more darts flew. In seconds, he was also fast asleep, swinging silently above the forest ground
Sylvester howled in anger and pain as he plunged his arms into the fire and knocked the scrolls out of the flames
They whirled around just in time to see a young man on horseback come galloping out of the trees, a massive branch in his powerful hands
