Chapter Fourteen
As he unsheathed his sword, Fes expected a greater response from the Deshazl, but there was nothing but silence. He frowned, turning to look at Jaken and the Deshazl. âWe need to be ready.â
No one answered.
âAzithan?â
Azithan glanced over at Fes. âThis isnât me.â
âIs there anything you can do to prevent the Calling from succeeding?â
âIâm not sure. I donât have enough control over it when I do it to know.â
Fes had detected what Azithan was doing with his Calling, and it was not nearly as potent as that of the Damhur. Azithan had some control, but his was strength without focus, whereas the Damhur had strength and focus. It put them into a difficult situation, and Fes worried that it would come down to him finding a way to prevent the attack.
The pressure from the Calling continued to build.
Other than Jaken, the rest of the Dragon Guard didnât appear effected. That, at least, was good.
âSee if you canât hold them here,â Fes said.
âFezarn?â Azithan said.
Fes shook his head. âTry to hold them. If you canât, we wonât be able to keep the emperor. The power of the Calling will be too much.â
Azithan nodded, and all of a sudden, Fes felt the pressure from Azithanâs Calling. It built suddenly, a demand that he stay motionless. It took every ounce of focus for Fes to ignore the effect of the Calling.
âGood,â he said.
Azithan watched him for a moment. âIt impresses me that you are able to withstand this.â
âYouâll be more impressed when you see the person who taught me,â Fes said.
Turning to Jayell, he wondered if she would be of any help. The Damhur had fire mages with them, it might be that she had no way of countering their magic, but having her with him provided Fes with one additional benefit. The fire magic helped him ignore the effect of the Calling, and if it came to it, he wanted to have that help.
âIâll come with you,â she said.
Fes hadnât even needed to ask, and was thankful for that.
Would the Dragon Guards come with him? He wasnât certain, especially as the emperor and Jaken were both seemingly incapacitated. If they wouldnât, Fes would be forced to confront the Damhur himself, and depending on how many Damhur were there, it might be more than he could withstand.
Fes went to one of the Dragon Guard, a man he didnât know. Maybe he should have spent more time conversing with the Dragon Guard during the journey, but he hadnât. Then again, Fes hadnât expected to come into contact with the Damhur. It was a risk, but they were still too close to the capital to think it was much of a real danger.
âIâm going to need your help,â he said to the man.
The man was muscular, reminding Fes of Tracen. Deep blue eyes glittered with the reflected light off the campfire.
âWith what?â the man asked.
âThe emperor has been influenced by outside attackers.â
The man looked at the emperor, frowning for a moment. âHe seems fine.â
âFine?â Fes asked.
