The snake tail of the woman quickly circled Kinaraâs feet, though, pulling her off balance so that now the lamia had her turn to attack. Long fangs emerged, and I had no doubt they had to be venomous.
âEnough!â I grunted, interjecting myself into the mix and trying to keep them apart.
At the same time, though, Jalee shot a bolt of electricity that hit the lamia and me, blasting us in two separate directions. She hit the wall, while I hit the mirror. Rather, I should have, but my head went right through. No crash or breaking glassâsimply through. There I was, looking at them through the back of the mirror as if my head was underwater, and I turned to see another viewing room. Two guardsâlarge, cave troll types, turned on me. One held up his wrist to his mouth, muttering something, while the other pulled out what I thought to be a club at first, but turned out to be something between a club and a cattle prod.
I started to pull my head back out of there, but not before noting that there was a wall on the far side with a special case. What was in the case, I couldnât be sure, but my guess was something valuable. Possibly the something valuable we were after.
As soon as I emerged back into the main room and saw the lamia and my team staring at me with wide eyes, including a radio chatter from nearby, I popped up and said, âThrough the mirror, go!â
Kinara attempted to scramble toward me, but the lamiaâs tail whipped out and tripped her. Jalee moved fast, but this time the lamia was ready and dodged the strike. Milkshake summoned her sword, while Ahlaksiz went to all fours, teeth bared in a growl.
This was the first time I saw her really get ferocious, and it was exciting. She took on the lamia like a mongoose fighting a cobra or habu like Iâd seen many times on the internet. Spoiler alertâthe mongoose pretty much always won. In this case, too, the cougar managed to tear open the lamia womanâs gut before throwing her to crash into a glass wall that gave way to a courtyard and little waterfall. How peaceful that would have been, in other circumstances.
I was charging back for the mirror when the door to my left burst open and first, two slick guards came in. These ones were almost round, lacking in genitalia, with two sets of wings and glowing light at the ends of their hands. They each had one long, red slit for an eye and no hair on their gray bodies.
They lifted their hands and I realized real fast that blasts were about to shoot out from those glowing hands. Kinara was already half-through the mirror, when something connected and sent her flying back to land in Jaleeâs arms.
âEnough!â the lamia said, holding up a bloody hand, the other trying to hold her gut together. âLet them be!â
âBut, Mistressâ¦â one of the guards said.
