Chapter 10

Opal

Lexsi's troubles only added to our own. Zaria, Kell and I faced not three but seven Ra'Ak.

Yes, in the future, these would be whittled down, but not now. Not where and when we were. I suspected at that moment that Morgett Blackmantle was involved in criminal activities on more planets than I could begin to name. I was beginning to worry that growing drakus seed wasn't his only objective.

Seven Ra'Ak had been sent to corral one High Demon. It would require four, at the very least, to attempt to take Kory down.

Zaria, who stood next to Kory's replica, stared at what looked to be seven men. As I suspected, Charlene and Hannah weren't there.

Neither, as it turned out, was Jamie, although the Ra'Ak had created a credible likeness of him.

Yes, they were powerful. Very, very powerful.

They had no idea what had come to meet them, however. Zaria, Kell and I had already seen through their humanoid disguises—Kell by scent, Zaria because she could see straight into their minds and I because I had the ability to Look to see what they were.

Granger hadn't a clue and chafed in his manacles next to Kell.

The Ra'Ak secreted a poison in their natural form so powerful it could kill a vampire. Would these turn to their giant serpent forms in an attempt to take what they believed to be a High Demon?

A small fact niggled at my mind. Unless you belonged to the hierarchy of the gods, only one race was immune to Ra'Ak poison. That race was the High Demons. I breathed slowly, to calm my heart. This had implications.

It meant something.

I needed more time to sort out exactly what it meant, and I was forced to deal with the crisis in front of me, first.

"Who sent you?" I demanded of the one who stood at the forefront, with the duplicate of Jamie Rome standing beside him. This was nothing more than a golem, made of who knew what, that the Ra'Ak had employed power to animate.

"You know who sent me," the lead Ra'Ak growled. "He dies if you fail to cooperate." He jerked his head toward golem Jamie.

Opal, Lexsi's voice interrupted. She sounded hysterical. They've sent a High Demon to fight Tibby. Kory says he recognizes him—Geldivik Croth, from the Croth family.

Tell Kory to do what he has to, I snapped back. I know Tibby wants this fight, but he's overmatched and he ought to realize that.

I think he's already planning to do that—Kory, that is.

Don't panic, I sent as I stared down the Ra'Ak in human form. We have our hands full, too.

There are more of them, siding with the bunch in Peru, Zaria informed me.

Can you see where Jamie is?

I can. He's in the crowd at the arena, and like most of those people there, he's high on drakus seed. We don't get to him soon, he'll die with the others.

Can the day get any worse? I wanted to curse aloud, but that would give us away.

If I get rid of these, the others will know, Zaria went on.
