Chapter 9

“Hurry!” I called out to Nallen.

The warrior dipped his head and steered the airship close to the battle, and I ran back down through the ship with Naomi hot on my heels.

“What’s wrong?” Alyona asked as she rushed up to the deck with her brow furrowed with concern.

“Someone’s already attacking them,” I grunted as I rushed to the door and pushed it open.

The airship was still about ten feet from the ground, but I didn’t want to waste any more time. So, I leaped from the ship and rolled through the sand before I jumped back up to my feet. Then I sprinted toward the hooded figures and pulled out the Sword of Hatra from my spatial storage.

I heard the ramp finally hit the sand behind me, and the rest of my comrades ran to catch up, but I was already close enough to grab one of the attackers by the back of his robe.

I yanked him to the ground, and he landed on his back with a thud that knocked the wind out of him.

“What the--” he gasped before I lifted my sword and plunged it down into his chest.

Blood spurted out from the wound as I pulled the blade back and turned to find more of the bandits. Then I looked past the red robes to see the Lexavo guards in green and silver armor, and I realized they all appeared to be human. Most of them were on the parapet and shot arrows down at their attackers, but a few stayed on the ground and battled with swords and shields. They fought the red-robed attackers back toward me, and I grinned as I continued to grab them from behind.

Nallen was the first to catch up with me, and he barreled through three of the men and scooped them up. Then he tossed them at least ten feet away from the fight, and they landed in a heap of broken bones and concussions.

A Hulk smash kind of guy. I can go with that.

I plowed the Sword of Hatra into another bandit’s side, and the attackers finally seemed to realize they were losing men on both sides. A few turned around to face us, and I glanced over my shoulder to see Alyona’s face contort with anger before she mumbled a few words and threw her hands out toward the bandits.

A white wave of magic washed over a handful of the thieves, and they collapsed into the sand. Their bodies seized and spasmed as foam poured out of their mouths, and then they laid still. Their eyes were glazed over with a white layer, and I was pretty sure my super badass fiancée had just killed them.

“You need to teach me that one,” Naomi said in a voice filled with awe.

Alyona smiled innocently, and the two lady mages got to work. As they cast spells to lay waste to the bandits, Saxon, Laika, and Aaliyah joined me in hand-to-hand combat. Laika’s broadsword cut through the bastards like butter, while Aaliyah and Saxon used their animalistic instincts to rip and shred the opponents.
