Chapter 25

A Glottal Stop

Nathan picked his way over the battlefield, Rage draining away as he vaulted over the fallen trunk of an Ashblood cobra that stood between him and his friends. He stepped around scattered pools of hissing blood and venom that flickered with dim flames. Somehow, his shoes were mostly intact, and he wanted to keep them that way.

I feel shitty thinking that after seeing Nornan get bitten by that last cobra. Fuck!

He watched as Khachi and the Dusteaters hustled into the ruined building that Nornan had been thrown into. Nathan sighed. He’d seen the snake strike. It had gotten the blonde-haired adventurer with both fangs, right into the chest cavity. He could hope – but he didn’t expect Nornan was going to walk this one off. Even with Khachi’s healing.

A few moments later Khachi emerged, shaking his head to the Heirs. The other Dusteaters came out a minute later, fury engraved across their features.

Yeah. Sucks. But we’re not done yet.

“We kill the Matriarch.” Ucric’s eyes were red, and the catfolk’s voice was scratchy and ragged. Nathan wanted to tell him to calm down, that fighting while furious wouldn’t help anything. But that would be hypocritical, and now wasn’t the time for an argument. Instead, he nodded and turned to walk across the square.

Now that Stella and Khachi’s lights extended farther into the square, Nathan could make out more of the surroundings. One side of the square had been dominated by a large palace that had been partially carved out of the back wall of the cavern. Now it was a ruined mess. Few of the walls stood, and it looked like large portions of it had been torched with a flame hot enough to make the stone blocks bubble and melt.

Bet that’s where the wasp nest was.

The side opposite the Heirs was mostly blocked by a large semicircular fountain. A tall plinth stood above a broad basin, topped by three statues of naga-esque Sklian mage-lords.

We’re looking for a water source. A fountain seems like a place to start.

Nathan motioned towards the fountain, and everybody nodded in agreement. The Dusteaters stalked forward with bloodlust in their eyes. Nathan kept in front of them, gesturing for the Heirs to spread out as he scooped his spear off the ground where he’d dropped it. They cleared the hazardous area of the former battle quickly enough, moving across the square towards the fountain.

The first sign of the Matriarch was a pair of faintly gleaming eyes in the shadow of the statues in the center of the water feature. They were only barely visible, but clear to Nathan’s newly developed [Notice] skill. One eye was on either side of the central dais, nearly a dozen feet apart. Nathan yelled to grab its attention and direct his allies. They didn’t want to be grouped up against something that big.
