Chapter 8
âWhatâs the big deal, guys?â Nadir asked as she stared up at the flock of creatures above us. âItâs just a bunch of birds.â
âA monoflock is much more than just âa bunch of birds,ââ Pae warned. âIf we donât hide right now, theyâll be feasting on our bones for their next meal.â
âWhat will we do, Magnus Dux?â Alvee frowned. âTheyâll follow us down.â
âWe do what the Spindrel have always been known for doing,â the silver-haired hedgehog-woman explained. âWe get into defensive positions.â
âNot a bad idea,â Mira admitted as she held her spear at the ready. âDo you want us to set up a perimeter around the entrance? Or perhaps we could try to draw these fuckers of mothers away from your home?â
âEven better,â Valea declared as she fell down onto her knees. âThe monoflock like their meat fresh. If we pretend to be dead, theyâll leave us alone.â
With that, we all watched the curvy blonde woman tuck her head into her legs and literally roll up into a ball. As she did so, a few more pointed spines grew out of her back and stuck up about a foot into the air.
The rest of the Spindrel women followed suit, though my crew and I all stood around looking shell-shocked.
âWhat are you doing?â Shala hissed. âGet into defensive positions unless you want to get eaten!â
âThis is gardon sap!â Kehlaan growled through a cracking voice as he pulled his stick from his back.
âLanguage, young Spindrel!â Pae ordered. âGet into position now, Kehlaan. Iâm ordering you as your mother and as your Magnus Dux.â
âIâm with the kid on this one,â Mira admitted. âThere might be a lot of these birds, but weâve killed way worse creatures.â
âWe also have multiple dragons,â I reminded the jade-haired dragonkin. âWe wonât even have to lift a finger if our friends get to them first. What do you say?â
I bet those things taste like a clucker bird. Tirian smacked his lips as the birds circled us. Theyâre probably delicious roasted⦠But just in case, Iâll gladly be the first to test one out.
Iâd ask Swaer if he wanted to help, Cerin chuckled as she stepped forward. But he looks so peaceful, I donât want to disturb him.
âUh, Draco Rex, I would advise against that course of action,â the pink-haired Erel warned.
It was far too late.
Tirian took to the sky as his mouth began to glow orange and red, and at the same time, Cerin inhaled deeply and prepared to blow these birds out of the sky as easily as a firehose against a flock of seagulls.
The water dragonâs attack was ready first, so Cerin unleashed a massive blast of seawater at her enemies.
Angry caws filled the air as the birds were hit with the tidal wave and then plummeted to the ground. There was a chorus of fleshy thuds as they slammed into the Earth, where they laid there motionless.
Tirianâs fire breath afforded the monoflock birds a quicker death, though I wasnât sure if it was any less painful.
