One (The Godslayer Cycle Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The previous night, Avery had moved to a place in the woods far enough removed from where the trio of townsmen had last seen him so that if they returned, he would not be caught unawares. But even after settling himself, laying out his thin blanket and setting the sword to a safe distance from his body, still he could not rest. He had stayed awake shivering the rest of the night, too afraid that the men would return or the sword itself might do something malicious while he slept. It was not until the haze of morning began to show over the horizon that he finally drifted off from exhaustion. He had slept through most of the day afterwards and awoken to find the sword precisely where he had left it. He had half expected to have it vanish in the light of day, or perhaps to have moved on its own to some place other than where he had laid it. Avery was not certain whether to rejoice or despair over that. The sword had not apparently made a last desperate grab for his soul, so he presumed it must be safe. Still, the idea of a heretic with a sword invited all kinds of hardships upon him.
