Kaz had to admit that Dmitri was very good at what he did. He was a con man in every sense of the word. Cheating - No problem. Lying - Who’s to know?\n\nKaz felt himself becoming less of the man he used to be and more like his friend every day. His former life was far behind him and his future, it would seem, involved lots of money.\n\nHis traveling companion was proving an entertaining respite from his memories, if nothing else. Although he played the fool quite often to comfort his marks, he was actually quite bright and cunning. With that toothy grin and sharp wit, he was so likable that those he had bilked would often times thank him after the games. This amused Kaz to no end.\n\nBut, as Kaz would discover, the night did not end with the taking of the gold. Toward the end of the evening, Dmitri would choose a lady to escort home. Theirs, not hers. Soon, Kaz began to follow suit. At a loss for female companionship they were not.\n\nBut one brutally cold Saturday night in the bustling city of Prague, Dmitri became restless. “Let’s go find some men to work over,” he said, pulling his boots on.\n\n“It’s too cold to go out,” groused Kaz. He was not in any hurry to leave the cozy fire place in their sitting room. Top accommodations had cost them a great deal, but it was worth it to Kaz to warm his feet by the fire.\n\n“Our funds are getting low,” said Dmitri. “Come on. There must be a game somewhere.”\n\nBegrudgingly, Kaz joined him and soon they were sitting around a table, playing their game of choice, Poker. Ever since Dmitri had taught him the basics, Kaz had won nearly every hand just by spying on what the other players around the table were thinking. By this method, he could tell if they were ready to fold or stay the course. Since their opponents were not warlocks, they were led like lambs to slaughter.\n\nDmitri was even slicker. He could spot their tells, no matter how small. Between them, they usually cleaned up. When a town’s underbelly grew tired of their antics, they would pack up and leave.\n\nPrague had been especially welcoming, with its gypsy population and other invisibles. If they worked hard enough, they’d have enough money to see them to England, their final destination.\n\nTheir trickery was performing well for half the evening, until one of the men accused them of cheating. Keeping their cool, they merely laughed and asked for proof. The man, by slight of hand or some other devilry reached into Dmitri’s coat and produced several high cards. Of course, both he and Kaz were offended, claiming they had been set up, which they had. Neither need resort to such obvious chicanery.\n\nBut the other men present were not the brightest candles in the candelabra, and soon a fight ensued. Tables and chairs flew about the room, not all of them thrown by human hands. Once his temper flared, Dmitri no longer cared who saw what he could do. He worked his way out of the first fist fight and began to throw anything he could by magic. At first, no one even noticed. Then, when he and Kaz were both standing to the side of the room, merely watching the others fight, one of the smarter biscuits said “Hey! We’re fighting each other!” and rushed them.\n\nThey hightailed it out the door with the other gamblers hot on their heels. Running as fast as they could, they reached Midnight and Fluffbottom and rode into the night. Only after several hours did they dare come back to their lodgings for the night.\n\nDeciding the time had come to move on, they packed up and headed for England. Surely, among the higher classes, there would be much need for men such as themselves. They had amassed quite a cache – more than enough to set themselves up as gentlemen of nobility.\n\n“We could be counts,” said Dmitri, as they watered their horses. “Or perhaps just lords. Just so we’re titled. I want to attend the finest balls and meet the finest ladies.” He grinned.\n\nKaz laughed. “Sure you do. I’d like to just buy a bit of land and settle down. Why do you feel the need to put on airs?”\n\nShrugging, Dmitri replied, “I’ve always had to survive by the seat of my pants. It would just be nice to flip the tables for a change.”\n\n“Fine, you win,” said Kaz. “We can be lords from Batavia then. I don’t think I can lose my accent that fast.”\n\nDmitri grinned, “Presenting Lord Ivanov and Lord Nurev.” Then they both laughed so hard they cried.\n\n“Sounds a bit odd, doesn’t it,” Dmitri admitted, once he regained control of himself. “But we’ll be foreign and exotic to the ladies we meet. Names are not all that important.”\n\nThey booked a passage by ship and in 1862 found themselves marveling at all the hustle and bustle that was London. And although they were now titled nobility, some things did not change. They still hit the gambling halls for money, passing themselves off as wealthy foreign dignitaries. No one batted an eye at how quickly they learned things or the effect they had on the opposite sex.\n\n“Perhaps we will meet Queen Victoria,” quipped Dmitri, as he and Kaz sat in a public house one evening.\n\n“Perhaps you can marry her,” Kaz replied, laughing as he securing for them another round.\n\nThe dancers were quite spirited, much to Kaz’s liking, and he found he was actually enjoying himself for a change.\n\nThey had acquired enough money through their gaming skills to earn them a reputation as handsome, devilish rogues and they ate it up, courting different ladies each evening.\n\nOne particular night, Dmitri looked at Kaz and asked, “What talents do you have?”\n\nKaz laughed. “That’s for me to know, my young friend.”\n\n“I meant your other powers,” Dmitri said. “I know you can read minds and play a mean game of poker, but I suspect you can do much more.”\n\n“I can levitate,” Kaz replied, eying up a beautiful blond on the far side of the room. “I know the incantation if you’d like to learn. And my familiar is a cat, small or large, whichever is needed at the time. So, what’s your familiar?”\n\nDmitri looked embarrassed. “Bees.”\n\n“What?” Kaz asked, turning to face him. “Did you say bees?”\n\n“Yeah, well, I’m sure there’s some use for them but I haven’t found any. It’s not fair really, all this talent and I get a useless familiar.”\n\n“You might be surprised, my friend,” replied Kaz, clapping him on the back.\n\nAnd so continued the reign of Kaz and Dmitri amongst the British titled class. They immersed themselves into high society, donning the fashions of the lords they studied and purchasing a fairly sizeable estate just outside London.\n\n“Will people be suspicious if we live in the same house?” Dmitri asked, as they toured the huge mansion.\n\n“We shall just explain that we are cousins,” said Kaz, brushing away cause for concern. “There is no dishonor in boarding with family.”\n\nTaking their time, they began to win over the locals. Eventually, they were terribly popular and in demand, accepting invites to parties several nights a week.\n\nIf questioned about their wealth, they merely claimed to have inherited family money. They bore such a close resemblance to one another that no one questioned them or their motives. Their hard work in losing their accents and affecting British ones eventually paid off nicely. In a few months, no one suspected that they weren’t, in fact, fellow noblemen.\n\nThe parties they were invited to were of a caliber Kaz had never dreamed of. He was in  awe at the lavish splendor of the richer classes. Being part of the gentry was not a hardship - the ladies loved to shower them with gifts of jewelry and clothing, not to mention their affections.\n\nAfter nearly a year of integrating themselves into the upper crust of society, a courier brought to them an invitation to a masquerade party being thrown by the good Count Astonbury. Both were invited to attend.\n\n“Do we know a Count Astonbury?” Dmitri asked, sniffing the lavender scented envelope.\n\n“Does it matter?” Kaz replied, sipping vodka by the fire.\n\n The day of the affair arrived, and the men, attired appropriately in their finest fancy dress, made their way to the manor house.  It was illuminated as though the sun itself was shining from within. Kaz sighed. Some day he, too, would have a manor such as this. Once inside, the array of intricate, colorful costumes made Kaz’s head spin. While his companion dressed as a dashing pirate, Kaz felt the noble knight more suited to his own personality. They were given masks as they entered so as to hide their true identities.\n\nIn their spare time, which they had in abundance, they had learned to dance. It was expected among the noble set. And it didn’t hurt that ladies loved a man who could dance.\n\nThey had just finished a rather risqué new dance called a waltz when Kaz was stopped in his tracks. Sensing a strong presence, he intently searched the crowd. With masks and costumes, however, he was having trouble finding she who radiated so strongly. One thing he knew for certain - there was a witch - nearby.\n\nJerked back to reality, he found himself standing before him a dark-haired beauty wearing a beautiful red gown. He smiled at her. “Would you care to dance, my lady?” Perhaps if he were out on the floor he could discern who among them was the witch. The lady graciously accepted and they waltzed around the room.\n\n“You are naturally light on your feet,” she said, pleasantly. “But you seem distracted. I would much rather have your attentions to myself.”\n\nKaz smiled but said nothing. Round and round they danced. Kaz thought he must be losing his touch. He could not find the witch he knew was among them.\n\nFinishing the waltz, he politely excused himself from his beautiful dance partner. “Where are you going?” asked the lady, who seemed to shine more brightly than the others.\n\n“I think I might enjoy a stroll on the terrace.”\n\nShe smiled and tilted her head coquettishly. “Would I be too bold to ask if I could join you?”\n\nKaz bowed. “I would be honored by your presence.” Slipping her hand through his waiting arm, she allowed him to escort her to the terrace.\n\nLetting go, she moved to the balustrade and looked up at the night sky. “What a beautiful night. And look, it’s a full moon.” She leaned on the railing and inhaled deeply.\n\nTo the contrary, Kaz suddenly found himself unable to breathe at all. He realized the witch was standing next to him. “Sophie,” he whispered softly.\n\n“How are you, Kazimir?”\n\nTrying to maintain his composure, he replied, “I am well, and you?”\n\n“Very.” She turned to look at him and removed her mask. He did the same. This woman still made him weak in the knees after years of absence.\n\n“What brings you to England?” he asked, casually he hoped.\n\n“You,” she said. “I will not beat around the bush. I performed a divination spell to find you.”\n\n“Why?” he asked. “You obviously found me repugnant and told me to go.”\n\nSophie laid her hand on his arm. “It was never my wish for you to go, my love. It was Alexander.”\n\nKaz turned away from her and stared ahead into the darkness. “So, it was as I expected. You were unfaithful to me.”\n\n“No,” she countered quickly. “You misunderstand.”\n\nHe felt anger rising up as he turned and stared into her dark eyes.  “Then perhaps you can explain it to me so that I may understand.”\n\nSophie replaced her mask. “I see now it was a mistake to seek you out.”\n\nEvery fiber in his being wanted to take her in his arms, embrace her and tell her that he still loved her. But all he could remember was how angry she had made him, how he had lost control of himself because of her. Kaz did not want to feel that way ever again. He made no attempt to stop her as she walked quickly away from him, disappearing into the throng of partygoers.\n\nDmitri walked out on the terrace as she was leaving. “Who was that gorgeous lady?”\n\n“I honestly don’t know,” he said, brushing past his friend to rejoin the revelry. He picked the most beautiful woman in the room and danced with her until she begged him to give her a rest. He asked if she needed an escort home and she found that agreeable.\n\nThey made love into the wee hours and the young lady eventually fell asleep in his arms. Still, Kaz could not get the essence of Sophie out of his mind or his heart.\n\nOOO\n\nIf you'd like to read previous parts: [Part 1](https://steemit.com/fiction/@sweetpea358/a-t-ale-of-two-warlocks-part-1)|[Part 2](https://steemit.com/fiction/@sweetpea358/a-tale-of-two-warlocks-part-2)|[Part 3](https://steemit.com/fiction/@sweetpea358/a-tale-of-two-warlocks-part-3)",

      "body": "https://steemitimages.com/DQmUt8Rkku3Qmh18D9bGeqXawAteHpdCwRjonGuLnXntNd7/Warlock%20Pic%20Small.jpg\n\nThe man lay in a heap on the floor, his blood slowly expanding across the filthy carpet  beneath him. Kaz gingerly stepped over his body and began to search through the desk. Sure enough, the bottom drawer contained a cloth bag filled with a good quantity of gold coins. He grabbed it and, stepping over the man once again, made his way to the door.\n\nLooking both ways, he was relieved to find no witnesses to his deed. Mounting Midnight, he rode quickly back to Dmitri’s house and tossed the pouch of coins on the table. It landed with a satisfying clank. “Here’s your money. However, there was a slight complication.”\n\nDmitri glanced up at him as he divvied up the spoils. “What’s that?”\n\n“I had to kill him.”\n\nDmitri grinned. “Okay. So what’s the complication?”\n\nThey drank to their successful business arrangement and, as a gesture of friendship, Kaz returned the flintlock to its rightful owner. He kept the dead man’s gun for himself.\n\nThrough his vodka-soaked brain, a pang of remorse began to form. His conscience attempted to remind him that he wasn’t a cutthroat. Quite the contrary. He had fashioned himself a righteous man. When he fell hopelessly in love with Sophie, he agreed to marry her before even sampling her delicious fruits, as was only the gentlemanly thing to do. He had gladly accepted her father’s offer to work in his blacksmithing trade. Back then, besotted and gainfully employed, the future had seemed bright. After decades of marital bliss though, his wife began to change.\n\nOne night, push came to shove and during a particular robust argument, her eyes blazed as she accused him of denying her a child. Absurd! By what wizardry would he accomplish that feat?\n\nHe had left in anger and hurt that night as well. Yet, that time, he had returned. Their fights, however, grew no less incendiary, escalating into full scale wars. He would curse and stomp around, throwing his hands up in the air in frustration. She would scream at him and throw flower pots at his head.\n\nThen something changed. Sophie began disappearing for days, returning with a dark countenance about her. When asked about her wanderings, she told him that she had found someone to help them conceive a child. Attempts to extract details were unsuccessful. Thus began the drinking of the horrid and fetid concoctions, the mere smell of which was so rancid they would turn Kazimir’s stomach.\n\nAll that Sophie attempted, however, did nothing to overcome her barrenness and they remained childless. When at last she ordered at him to leave, he was more than ready to acquiesce. Kazimir was at the end of his rope.\n\n“I have another little problem,” Kaz said, throwing back his fifth shot of vodka.\n\nDmitri matched suit. “What’s that?”\n\n“I have a body back at the hotel I need to dispose of.”\n\nDmitri’s eyebrows rose in surprise. “My goodness, you have been busy. Don’t worry, my friend. I can help you with that. But we will need to wait until after dark.”\n\nA couple of hours later, under cover of  the moonless night, they rode to the inn on the other side of town, tying their horses out back. Dismounting, Dmitri grabbed Kaz’s arm before he could head for their destination. “I’ll distract the man at the desk; you go get the body.”\n\nKaz nodded and walked quickly to his room, hoping the man at the desk out front took no notice. As soon as he opened the door, the smell assaulted him and he nearly vomited. Swallowing hard, he walked to the bed. She was just as he had left her. Girding his loins, he rolled the lifeless, stinking body up into a sheet and shoved it into the large brown feed sack that Dmitri had provided. Tossing her over his shoulder, he opened the door and looked down the hall. All clear. Making his way out the back entrance, he found Dmitri waiting for him.\n\n“We’re going to see a friend of mine,” Dmitri said, helping Kaz toss the body over Midnight’s back. “Follow me.”\n\nWhen they finally stopped, Kaz squinted through the thick fog which now covered the countryside. “Bone yard?” he asked.\n\nNodding, Dmitri walked to the gate, quickly opening it and motioning for Kaz to enter.\n\nKaz was startled when Dmitri, without warning, belted out some sort of bird call. A dark figure emerged from what he assumed was the ossuary. Dmitri grinned. “Here’s another body for the stack.”\n\nAllowing his burden to slide silently to the ground, Kaz watched as the man unwrapped his donation and then draw back from the stench. “An ossuary is for bones,” he hissed at them, returning the sheet over the body. “What am I supposed to do with this?”\n\nDmitri produced a few gold coins. “Make it disappear.” The dark form jingled the coins about in his hand for a moment, then grunted. Kaz assumed that meant he would take care of the problem.\n\nOnce headed back to Dmitri’s, Kaz sighed. “I think it’s time I move on. I’m willing to pay you for all your help.”\n\n“I certainly don’t care if I never see this place again,” Dmitri replied. “Take me with you. I think we could make quite the team.”\n\n“Team of what? Murderers?” Kaz asked, surprised to find that his young friend would want to tag along.\n\n“Heavens no,” Dmitri replied. “I abhor violence. Why do you think I hired you?”\n\nKaz chucked. Dmitri obviously thought him a ruthless ruffian. He was about to straighten him out when Dmitri grinned at him. “Race you to the stream!”\n\n “What?” Kaz asked, as Dmitri let out a yell and spurred his stead to a full gallop. “Cheat!” he yelled as he kicked Midnight. The horse responded and they were off like a shot, chasing Kaz’s crazy sidekick through the moonlit landscape. He could hear Dmitri whooping it up a good distance ahead yet he was not about to get beaten by this youthful vagabond.\n\nProdding Midnight to run full out, they caught up and passed Dmitri, who seemed to have given up. Too easy, Kaz thought, just as Midnight hit the water at full gallop. With a loud neigh, the huge stallion reared up and then came to a sudden stop. Taken off-guard, Kaz flew over the beast’s head, landing in the creek with a huge splash.\n\nFluffbottom trotted to the water’s edge. “I said I’d race you to the stream, not into it,” Dmitri said, still laughing as he helped Kaz out of the water.\n\n“So, Kaz, how do you come to be in Moravia,” Dmitri asked as the two plopped down under a large, old oak tree. “I couldn’t help but notice your distinct Russian accent.”\n\n“Ah, I must do something about that. I won’t bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that I lived near the border of our two countries until I had … how shall I put this nicely … lady trouble.”\n\n“That's becoming a habit of yours, isn’t it?” Dmitri replied, grinning at him.\n\nGrowling, Kaz decided to ignore him. “At any rate, I’m moving westward. I’m thinking perhaps England would be a nice place to settle down.”\n\n“I, too, once lived in Russia, until my family was forced to leave, and so we landed here. Then, my father disowned me for supposedly disgracing the family. So, as you can see, I have nothing to go back to. We are two stones rolling. Isn’t that how the saying goes?”\n\nLaughing softly, Kaz said “You are young. You have your whole life ahead of you. Believe me, you don’t want to tie yourself to me.”\n\n“We’ll see,” Dmitri answered coyly, as they mounted their steeds for the return ride. “You can stay at my place tonight and get a fresh start in the morning, if you like.”\n\n“Thanks, Friend,” Kaz replied, suddenly too exhausted to add more or to argue.\n\nThe next morning, Kaz walked outside to find the sun high in the sky. Dammit! He’d slept far longer than he’d planned.\n\nDmitri didn’t seem to be around. Perhaps he had work to attend to. Kaz laughed. Dmitri did not seem to be the kind of man to seek work. Unhitching Midnight, he headed out. No reason to wait for the youngster to return. They’d said all that need be said the evening prior.\n\n“Ya!” he shouted, giving Midnight a little kick. His faithful beast took off, racing across the countryside. It was a beautiful day and Kaz was curious as to what would happen in the next town. With any luck, it would be much less traumatic than the last.\n\nA town appeared ahead of them in late afternoon and Kaz slowed Midnight to a trot. Nothing seemed different, but after awhile Kaz supposed, one town pretty much looked like another.\n\nSuddenly, Midnight took a turn. Kaz pulled the reins to attempt to right him, but he would not alter his route. “Fine,” Kaz said, letting the horse have its way. “Take me where you will.”\n\nWhen the stallion finally came to a stop, Kaz hung his head and muttered, “Dammit, Dammit, Dammit.” They were directly in front of Dmitri’s house. The door flew open to a grinning man, obviously proud of his subterfuge.\n\n “I say we go where the money is,” Dmitri said, before Kaz could get a word in. “Can you read minds?”\n\n“Yes, and you?”\n\nDmitri nodded. “It comes in handy during card games, if you know what I mean.” Again, he tossed the toothy grin that Kaz imagined made him very alluring to the opposite sex.\n\nKaz feigned shock. “That’s cheating! And so is spelling my horse to return here, you devil.”\n\nDmitri laughed and shrugged. “Haven’t you figured out by now that I don’t play fair?”\n\nKaz walked into the house to look for vodka. He supposed that they were now officially a double act, whether he would have it or not.\n\nooo\n\nIf you would like to start from the beginning: [Part 1](https://steemit.com/fiction/@sweetpea358/a-t-ale-of-two-warlocks-part-1)|[Part 2](https://steemit.com/fiction/@sweetpea358/a-tale-of-two-warlocks-part-2)",
