Chapter 11

Althea

Ilunged to the side and narrowly dodged the blade of the K’Tavi towering over me. He and the two others racing toward me over the roof tops all wore face masks and had tail spikes, just like ones I’d fought on Boethelia.

The mixture of fear and battle instincts made my mouth dry and mind sharp. I’d had nightmares about facing these warriors again, and I’d also spent hundreds of hours preparing for the day I would.

This was a moment I was far more ready for than I had been seven years ago. I knew how to not only defend myself against a much larger opponent, I’d trained hard enough that it was second nature.

So behind my hood I grinned, my interface sending up possible scenarios for me that I mostly ignored. I didn’t need them; this part I would do the old fashioned way. I would let them see who killed them, let them know that there was one Boethelian on Nopar who would not flee. Instead, I’d litter the sands with their corpses and water the ground with their blood.

I retracted my hood with a neural command and drew the blades from my hips, igniting the core at the center of the metal, as blue lines of power coursed up the blade. The seven and half foot warrior scoffed when he saw me and I just grinned at him.

He came for me fast, swinging his sword to the right, then left and I parried each blow hard enough to send up sparks. He meant to overpower me by sheer strength. A short sighted and novice approach.

He wasn’t ready for the quick blows that flowed out of me like lightning. He lunged his blade at me and I pivoted, seized his wrist and stepped into him in a swift motion that gave him no time to react. I drove my foot down onto his knee and relished the feel of it collapsing backwards. While he keened, I took the blade already pointed at him and stabbed up and through his throat. K’Tavi scales were tough, and on Boethelia we’d had to crank the power cores in our swords to max just to get through, burning out most of them before the battle was half done.

But I’d learned how to design a blade that didn’t need that much power to slice through a K’Tavi like a hot laser through metal. So when my sword sank smoothly through his flesh I could feel his body stiffen in shock, saw his companions hesitate at the sight.

I ripped the blade out and shoved him down onto the roof, green blood spilling from him. The others had their blades out, knees bent as if they wanted to rush at me but they were one roof over and I could see that they were trying to figure out if they could make it.

“Are you scared of a little jump?” I called to them. “Here, I’ll make it easy for you.”

I sheathed my swords and ran, not slowing down once I hit the edge of my roof.
