Chapter 20
Kyron and his militia drove right up to the ancient stones and began unloading the vehicles. It was well after midnight and the tourists had left Stonehenge hours ago. Appearing by his side, Rychek confirmed that the area was secure. He had sent her ahead to take care of the guards and ensure that the caravan of druids living nearby would not cause a problem. He had checked to make sure there were no military operations in the local area that could respond if news of their arrival got out. He had no idea how long it would take to shatter the door to Sanctuary, but he was keen to find out.
It had taken him longer to get here than he would have liked. Of the forty militia he had hired to protect the lair, seventeen had elected to go with Rychek. He had sent the volunteers through his London portal while he stayed behind to dispatch the remaining soldiers. He needed no cowards watching his lair while he was gone. He knew that Ryder and his party wouldnât be attacking any time soon, so he was confident to leave Chorak in charge while he was away.
Chorak would keep the slaves in check and ensure they treated Jack like a prince until he returned. The boy was priceless, and it was important that he received special care, largely because he remained unresponsive to the world around him. It was not necessarily a problem for Kyron but modifying his behaviour would be tricky if the kid didnât come out of it. He wanted the childâs loyalty, but more importantly, he thought it would be extremely satisfying to see the look on Asharielleâs face as the boy rejected his own sister in favour of him.
Before leaving, he had ordered his workers to set up a bedroom for the boy using the furniture and toys from his parentâs house to make him feel more at home. It was the first step to gaining the childâs trust. He had also instructed that Josh and Amira were to be left alone until his return. He was personally invested in both projects and, with Erith away, he trusted no one else with their conversion, especially as Josh continued to fight the serum. Chorak would ensure that the pair got basic sustenance and that was it.
Once organised, he had followed the group through the portal to his secret base in London, transporting Janiceâhis newest Kryakâhimself. On arrival, he had noted that Rychek and the militia had used their time wisely. It had taken them two days to procure the equipment needed for their journey. They had armed themselves with an arsenal of assault rifles, semi-automatic pistols, and grenades. Packs, supplies and portable artillery had been loaded into waiting Land Rovers.
He had levitated Janiceâs cage onto the back of a flat-bed truck. She was not ready to be released yet and she hissed and snarled at the soldiers securing her cage. No longer a beautiful redhead, the Kryak padded on all fours around her tiny enclosure.
