After she heard the details of Obsidian’s ‘punishment’ Anna grew very concerned. But not for what the masters would do to him, but because of what he would do to them.

She grabbed his hand to hold him back, but he just marched forward, dragging her along with him until his thighs bumped the table.

“You cannot be serious!” A fist slamming against the wood punctuated his words. “I’ll take any punishment you wish, but don’t make Reaver and Anna training partners!”

Anna wasn’t exactly thrilled about the idea, but it was kind of ingenious—in a twisted, cynical way. And made for a perfect punishment for Reaver.

Reaver’s ascension from journeyman to adept depended on Anna passing her novice test. She’d gathered from Obsidian’s thoughts that he’d been looking forward to helping her with those skills. Not that he’d expected it to be hard for her. They’d learned the basics of battle magic during their stay in the Lady of Battles kingdom.

She should be able to complete the tasks quickly, perhaps within a day or less if the elders would allow her to streamline it that much.

But Obsidian wouldn’t be the one to test her skills after walking her through each task. No, for whatever reason, Lord Death thought it a better punishment for Reaver.

“Come on, Obsidian. I’ve got this. I’ll pass the test and Reaver will be out of our life.”

His one ear flicked back to acknowledge her words, but he continued his debate with the Elders.

“Any journeyman or adept level student can initiate a novice. Anyone is better than Reaver. He’ll be seeking revenge and will think Anna is the easier target.” His gaze traveled to each of the Elders sitting across the table, but none of them so much as blinked at his words. “I’m sure Truth would agree to mentor her. Or Swift Hunter if Truth is too busy with new novices.”

She placed her hand on Obsidian’s arm. “Reaver, as much as he doesn’t care for outsiders, is a gargoyle. I’ve faced the Battle Goddess’ captains. He is only one gargoyle. I’ll be fine.”

“Gargoyles are capable of holding their own against the Battle Goddess’ minions,” Verroc said, no emotion showing on his face or the tilt of his ears. Even his tail remained still.

“I will not tolerate Reaver as Anna’s teacher!” The words were more of a growl, the threat clear, but the wildly chaotic emotions bleeding down the link just reinforced that the berserker darkness was rising to the surface.

“For fuck’s sake, keep your shit together. Shit! Together!”

“I’m fine.”

“No, you’re not. Bring it down a few notches, or I’ll do it for you!”

Obsidian flicked an ear in her direction. Suddenly, his tail was snaking around her waist, dragging her closer, and then he tucked her against his side as if he was planning to snatch her and run.

“Don’t do it! Piss mamma bear off at your peril.”

Thayn leaned forward, doubling up over the table as chuckles burst forth. Banrook’s lips quivered, and his chest started to shake a moment before he, too, howled in laughter.
