TWENTY-THREE

“The Hunter is of no use to you,” Calisto said. “Leave her be.”

She placed an arrow in the bow and aimed at the behemoth.

“I have no quarrel with you, witch,” the behemoth answered. “The Hunter is ours, she belongs to us.”

“She belongs to no one,” Calisto whispered as she released the diamond-tipped arrow. “Now die.”

The behemoth shifted to the side to try to avoid the arrow. It buried itself in the behemoth’s chest. The roar of pain shook the passage. Calisto smiled as she formed a fist and caused the debris at the mouth of the passage to float lazily in the air. With a swipe of her arm, projectiles raced down the passage and into the Dreadwolves.

The behemoth ripped the arrow out of its chest and ran down at her. Calisto raised a stone wall and closed off the passage. The behemoth burst through her defense, destroying the wall in seconds.

I’m too close to the rift.

With another swipe, most of the Dreadwolves lay dead or dying. Those who escaped the barrage raced back up the passage. Calisto trapped them with another gesture. The behemoth was almost on top of her.

“Your abilities won’t work on me, witch,” it said. “The Hunter is claimed. Why do you fight for her?”

Calisto nocked three arrows and released them as the behemoth closed in.

“Because the Unholy need to be stopped,” she said as the behemoth slammed a fist into her body. The blow sent her flying back and into the wall of the passage. The sick crunch of bone filled the air. The behemoth took several dragging steps before falling to the ground. Two of the arrows had missed their mark, but the third had entered its eye and destroyed most of its head, killing it.

Calisto lay on the ground with blood escaping her lips. Several of her ribs were broken. Ursa appeared next to her with the body of Wake in his jaws.

“Ursa, no,” Calisto said and coughed. “You shouldn’t have used so much power.”

Ursa growled and nuzzled Calisto.

“Don’t we make a sorry bunch,” Calisto said as she laid her head on Ursa. “You have to get help.”

Ursa gave a low growl and pushed Calisto’s hand with his muzzle. Calisto gave Ursa a gentle push.

“You have to go outside, go get him,” Calisto said, and coughed for several seconds before spitting up blood. Ursa bounded away and disappeared.

*******

“What are you doing here, Hunter?” the voice said.

Sepia dragged her left side as she walked. Her left arm hung limp by her side and her left leg shuffled with each step. Her left eye acted like a beacon as she navigated the darkness. She had long since given up trying to cover it, allowing the light to spill out in front of her.

“I need to get past,” Sepia said. “I need to get through.”

Laughter echoed around her. Sepia looked and found herself in a large chamber. On the side opposite her, she could just make out an exit. In the center of the chamber stood a figure unlike anything she had ever seen.
