Six Sentence Sunday - Old Beyond His Years

The last excerpt I’ll be sharing from ‘Better Left Unspoken’. I finished revisions on the second draft this week, but it’s still very rough and in need of a serious edit. I’ll be letting it sit a few days while I finish ‘Air Ship, Ghost Ship’.
By the time they fought through, the invaders all dead, fled or captured, Vrims was gone.
King Lynan seized Berkh’s shoulder. ‘You have to find him!’
Berkh slapped his hand away. Lynan looked old beyond his years, aged by the events of a single morning. Berkh’s anger flickered and died as he stared into his brother’s grey face, his tired blue eyes.

 Thanks, there's a bit of tension there.

I'm very curious to know what's happened and what comes next. Who is Lynan so desperate to find? Great snippet.

Ah, in this case that's only a secret because the snippet is so short. In context, it's evident, because his son has just been kidnapped right in front of his eyes. That's not the big secret ;-)

beat consequences with the bare minimum work in the percussionist.
Mʏ persοnal favorite artist is Jay-Z ѕo I love remixing
his beats and coming up with something of my own.
The very best approach to maқе your oաn beats iѕ certainly
with the Dub Turƅo Ьeat making software.
