Chapter Thirteen

Soren

The first beast rose out of the sand almost right beside my sister. Lexi hopped to the side before sprinting in a zig-zag motion towards the gate.

Tamerin ran in a different direction, but another creature burst out of its hiding place at his feet and grabbed his pants leg.

With my hand on Renth's neck, I reached below the planet's surface and pulled water up through the sand, directing it in a powerful stream towards the beast keeping the old man from escaping. It hit the creature in the face, causing it to release his catch as he tumbled head over heel across the ground.

Tamerin stumbled and then continued running, trying to catch up with Lexi, who was now being blocked from going forward by a wall of the predators.

Renth roared and leaped at one who was closing in on the older man from behind, while I sprinted to my sister. The lecanifer wrapped his jaws around the beast's neck just before its deadly teeth grabbed the Universa again. He pulled it away from the man and shook it, breaking its spine in the next instant. Tossing it down, he followed behind Tamerin, watching his back.

As meat was hard to find in this barren land, several from the pack converged on the body, distracted from going after us for a few moments. Food was food, and they didn't care where they got it. Didn't care. It gave us a bit of breathing room since there were still several focused on us.

I caught up with my sister and put up a protection shield before us. Grabbing her by her scruff, I urged her forward. My shield bulged out and became solid, yet transparent. Using it like a battering ram, we rushed towards our goal.

But our backs were still vulnerable, and it didn’t take long for the sand beasts to figure this out. They swerved around us and came at us from behind, while others stayed in front of us.

“I can’t hold this forever, Lexi,” I stated through gritted teeth.

Renth! She howled down my bond, hoping to reach my familiar. He must have heard her since he rushed over to help us.

Tamerin was almost to the gate marker when the largest damn hyena-spider rose before him, causing him to slide to a stop.

“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” He was chanting the words as he tried to figure out how to get past. He fainted left and then right. But the creature crouched, waiting, only its eyes following its prey.

A long red and black arm shot out from the gate opening and grabbed it around its neck, pulling it back inside. It didn't even have a moment to shriek, it had happened so fast.

Tamerin paused, the shock reflecting in every muscle. A few moments later, its carcass flew back out, flying over his head before landing in the sand with a thump.

“Go, Tamerin! That’s Stet or one of his people! Go!” I shouted at him, trying to make sure at least he survived this mess.

The attacking predators surrounded Lexi and me, preventing us from reaching our destination.
