Chapter 13

Storming Chaos

Asher and Nadia’s eyes widened as the sudden shout and clanging of metal from outside. It blended with the falling rain, creating a chaotic and shrill symphony.

The pair were to their feet as Amber rushed out from the corridor with wide eyes. Asher charged to a window and pulled back a curtain. He stared out at a large group of goblins, clanging their short swords and odd spears to each other. A goblin stood before the small horde, opened his mouth, and screamed Blyss’s name again.

The kitchen door opened and slammed shut.

Asher continued to look out the window as Blyss marched out with a long dagger in her hand. She held the blade with the tip pointed down. In her hand, it looked like a small short sword rather than a large dagger.

“Amber, take Nadia down to the lab and lock the door. It’s magically protected so if any get past me, they won’t be able to get you to both,” Asher ordered.

“What’s happening!” Nadia said with wide eyes.

“We’re under attack,” Asher said as he turned and ushered the two women toward the corridor. “Please, get downstairs. Do not open the door unless you hear my voice, or Blyss’s voice.”

The trio moved with haste to the main corridor and reached the door to the lab basement. From around the corner, Fern came clopping out. Asher looked at the uni-goat with concerned eyes.

“Fern, go down into the lab with them. Keep them safe,” he said with a serious tone.

The uni-goat stared at him for a moment before moving to Amber’s side.

Asher took a key from his belt pouch and handed it to Amber. The faun took it without argument. She opened the door and took Nadia’s hand. Fern clopped down the stairs first.

The bookshop owner resisted as she looked into Asher’s determined eyes. “You can’t go out there! Let me go and I will alert the town. They will come to our aid.”

“There isn’t enough time,” Asher said with knowing eyes. “Please, go downstairs and wait for us. I have to get to Blyss.”

Fear painted Nadia’s eyes. When Amber pulled her hand, the bookshop owner relented. The pair made their way down the stairs and looked back to see Asher closing the door with shadows under his eyes.

When the door closed and locked shut, Asher darted for the stairs and charged up to the second floor. He pumped his legs as he knew his weapons were in the bedroom closet. Heart pounding in his chest, fear colored his thoughts at the image of Blyss walking out to the goblins.

***

Blyss walked in the heavy rain with her chin out and a look of hard determination in her yellow eyes. Her green hand held the dagger with a firm grip as she walked past the sitting pond and outside patio. She continued to walk until she was about sixty feet from the large group of goblins, dagger pointed down.

Rain soaked into her hair and clothes as drops of rain water dripped off the silver blade.
