GOING AFTER THE skinwalker alone was a foolish thing to do, but the shaman could see that Mayer was set to the task and nothing would dissuade him. He shut the door and sighed heavily. Diogie pawed his leg.

“I suppose you are right, Diogie. Even Mr. Mayer deserves help, as stubborn as he is. Without me, he will likely die.”

The shaman changed his clothes, laid out food for Diogie, and prepared a satchel with the herbs and tokens he would need to face off against the creature. He adorned himself with protective jewelry around his neck and wrists and put on the chest plate made of maize. He hadn’t worn any of it when he went up with Mayer and that had been a mistake, but, then again, he didn’t really believe they would find a skinwalker; he was just appeasing Mayer for Theodosia. He knew better now. Taking a ceremonial staff, one decorated with eagle feathers and tobacco leaves, he headed for the door.

“You must stay here and guard the house, Diogie. I will be back after a while.”

He took a salt container and spread a line against the door’s threshold, just in case.

Diogie began to growl. The hair raising on the ridge of his back.

“It is okay, Diogie. I will be fine.”

Diogie barked his disapproval.

The shaman opened the door and was about to step out when a powder was blown directly in his face. He looked ahead and saw a creature, more animal than human, the palm of the hand outstretched in front of the thing’s mouth—one which formed an unholy smile.

The shaman tried not to inhale, but it was too late. He started to choke as his throat began to swell. The room was spinning. He could hear Diogie barking and thought he saw him leap for the door. It was the last thing he would see before he hit the ground.
