HENSLOW REFUSED TO bury his comrade this close to Mount Dismay. They wrapped Loren in a blanket and bound her to her horse. He could at least see her returned home to family for burial. The Dread and Unsouled, they left for the vultures, though he doubted if even they would touch such tainted flesh.

Henslow mounted his horse. “Come,” he muttered, his voice rough and void of emotion. “We must return. Adam and the others will need us.”

They turned and headed south, back through the canyon. The horses plodded along single file through the darkened crevice, but they soon emerged back into the clear light of late afternoon. Free of the constricted passage, the group gathered closer together... and into a trap.

The sunlight above them dimmed. They looked up to see a wide net of black power dropping on them from above.

“Flee!” shouted Henslow. He spurred Raven forward, trying to escape the web of darkness. But too late. The ebony strands enveloped all four horses. Henslow tensed, expecting the net to burn them all, but he felt no pain. Once in place, the net constricted, pulling tighter until it crushed the group against one another. None of them could move. They could hardly breathe.

A black figure descended from the cliff top and approached the captives. Rosner moaned, “No, not again. Please...”

The figure moved around the snare until it reached Henslow. It bent down until its face closed to within inches of his own. The Dread’s thick, black lips peeled back from razor-sharp fangs in a terrible semblance of a smile. It whispered in its strange, sibilant tone, “You prisssonersss. Massster pleasssed.”
