Chapter 6

Sabrina watched Dylan and Marek move, their swordplay as graceful and fluid as it was lethal. She’d learn as much as she could watching before engaging herself. They fought with the grey swords, combining the sword dance with hand-to-hand combat moves for a ferocious battle that surprised her. Marek moved over the arena floor with the same fluidity as his cougar. He was over six feet tall and broad-chested. Dylan, also over six feet tall, moved with the fluidity of his Sphinx. They were impressive to watch; their movements fluid. They were so good that Sabrina barely saw their blades move.

One day soon, I will be as good as they are, Sabrina thought.

Their swordplay completed, Marek and Dylan shook hands then walked over to the water cooler. Sabrina joined them.

“You both move beautifully,” Sabrina said.

“Thank you,” Marek said.

“Thanks. Which of us do you wish to spar with today?” Dylan asked.

“It will have to be Dylan. I’m afraid that I need Marek and his enforcers,” Benjamin said as he entered the arena.

“Is everything okay?” Sabrina asked, concern in her eyes and voice.

“No, sweetheart. I need Marek and his enforcers to set up new patrols around the perimeter,” Benjamin said, hoping to soothe her concerns.

“With the tourist season starting, we need more patrols to ensure our safety,” Marek added.

Sabrina reached up to kiss Benjamin on the cheek. “Will you be home for dinner?”

“Corbin and his family are coming for dinner tonight. I wouldn’t miss it,” Benjamin said.

Sabrina watched them as they headed for the arena showers. With her shifter hearing, she could hear Ben explain a few of his concerns and ideas. When they entered the showers, she turned her attention back to Dylan.

“I’m all yours. Are you ready?” she asked as she reached for her legendary sword.

“You bet,” Dylan said.

Dylan’s sword gleamed in the sunlight, showing a blade that had been impeccably cared for. He leaped forward in an attack, sword raised and ready to bring it down on his foe. Sabrina mirrored his move. After a few practice swings, Sabrina landed a good hit, knocking him off his feet and the wind out of him. Dylan bolted to his feet when he could catch his breath.

“Well done,” he said.

“Thank you,” she replied.

Mira watched from the shadows as Sabrina took lessons in sword fighting. She began chanting softly. The glowing embers leaped and twirled in a fiery dance filling the air above Dylan and Sabrina. It burned a translucent orange as it moved closer to them. Mira continued her chanting and the spectral fire dipped, heading toward Sabrina.

Dylan shoved her out of the way. The fire licked at his outstretched arms causing searing and a smell of burning flesh as it crept along his arms causing him to cry out in pain. He rolled to his back. The spectral fire moved above him.

Sabrina watched in upmost horror as she witnessed the fire swallow Dylan. This was not just fire. It was death.

The burning pain was slowly driving its way through Dylan.
