“I strongly recommend that we all stay put and wait for the convoy to pass,” Caspian whispered. “Some, if not all of you, might get killed if you try anything against these beasts.”

“Some of you? Not including yourself in that statement?” I raised an eyebrow.

He gave me an acid smirk.

I could smack him. I could totally smack him.

“I’m not suicidal. I’m only trying to help,” he replied. “You can’t get yourselves tangled in another fight now, even if you do have a dragon. You need to get to Fiona and get the hell out of these gorges before you all end up as pit wolf chow.”

“I hate to say this, I really do,” Hansa sighed, her brow furrowed, “but Lord Kifo has a point.”

No, don’t say that. He’ll give me a smug smile, and… There it is.

Caspian loved being right, apparently.

“There are plenty of them, and those giant fiends are something else entirely,” Hansa continued. “We have to get to Fiona before it’s too late, and we can then gather more forces from Calliope and tear these gorges down altogether, and—”

A bone-chilling growl, like chunks of glass being scraped against a pavement, came from above. We all froze, then glanced up and noticed the elephant-sized pit wolf baring its enormous white fangs at us. Its red eyes glistened with hunger; thick threads of drool hung from its lower jaw.

“Crap,” I heard Jax say.

We jumped back, drawing our swords. My heart nudged into my throat, and my blades were soon up and ready. It was too late to debate this further. We hadn’t even seen or heard the beast move.

Our only choice was to fight.

“Stand back,” Blaze said as the pit wolf growled and wiggled its hindquarters, ready to pounce on us.

We scattered to both sides as Blaze erupted into full dragon form. He knocked over a couple of redwoods. I dodged one of the massive trees, which landed heavily to my right.

The daemons went on high alert, raising their swords and spears. Half of them charged us, while one of the fiends left behind set the other pit wolves loose. The rest guarded the cages, which came to a screeching halt. The Imen inside gathered in the middle, crying and trying their best to cover each other from whatever came next.

We spread out and darted toward the first wave of daemons coming. Caia ignited her lighters and fashioned two impressively thick fire whips, which she used to lash at one of the pit wolves, while Patrik muttered a spell under his breath and summoned a spray of intense blue fire from his hands, aiming it at the armored daemons.

Their protective gear made it more difficult for us to kill them but not impossible, as evidenced by Hansa’s broadsword chopping a couple of heads down like she was an expert lumberjack. In the absence of mind-bending as a useful weapon against the daemons, Heron and Jax made full use of their blades, flashing from one daemon to another.
