Chapter Eight

Ios ran into the fray, reaching the top of the ramparts and looking down into the enemy. The Demon Horde was at his castle gates. He collected a ball of sonic energy into his hand and shot at a demon scaling the walls close to him. Filthy scum would not be entering his home if he had anything to say about it. Another fireball was lofted at the wall, the parapets shaking under the attack.

Ios could see the massive trebuchet in the distance and knew he needed to take it down before it did any more damage. Even now, there were demons filling it with another large fireball. He gathered energy in his hands and cast it at the demons working the machine. As quickly as he felled one, another immediately took its place. Focusing his vigor toward the machine itself, he began to thrust his hands out, the trebuchet the target.

After releasing his third attack on the contraption, he felt a slice in his side. Looking over his shoulder, he saw that a Hell Demon had broached the walls and killed several soldiers in his path. He was coming straight for Ios. Before he could turn and fight, a bright light burst into the demon and ruptured him from inside, his body exploding into miniscule pieces. Incredulous, Ios stood there a moment, looking at the fragments of the beast that had just been.

“No need for hand-to-hand combat, hmm?”

Ios didn’t even want to turn around, to acknowledge that Jamie had just saved him after being told to stay put. There would be no eating crow, at least for now, as another demon rose over the rampart. Both of them attacked at once, their powers overlapping as they struck, a large crack shaking the walls as the beast exploded. The walls shook a second time as a fireball hit the castle yet again.

Ios turned to Jamie. “The trebuchet! We need to destroy it. Do you think your power can reach?”

“I can try.”

Both men ran closer to the wall and focused their power on the device. Ios sped a sonic ball crashing into the side, but Jamie’s shot fell short. Remembering the crack as their powers had overlaid, Ios embraced Jamie, the human’s back to his front.

“What are you doing?” The skeptical sound to Jamie’s voice almost made Ios want to chuckle. But this was no time for laughter.

“Focus your energy. Mix it with mine again.”

Jamie began to gather his white light as Ios collected his sonic energy. He wasn’t sure it would work, but it was their only chance. Ios’s power wasn’t as strong as Jamie’s, but it could reach further. Together, perhaps it would work. Ios brought his hands over Jamie’s and the energy melded into one entity. As they released it, Ios felt the human tense in his arms, holding his breath in wait.

When the mass hit the trebuchet and it exploded into a million pieces, Jamie let out a yelp and relaxed into Ios’s arms. For only a second.
