CHAPTER ELEVEN

MY BROTHER CALLED OFF his elf hunt and switched viewpoints, zeroing in on his fallen friend. “Brynn,” he barked. “I’m flying Forse out of here. Finish what you can and catch me as I go by.”

“Yes, sir.” Tyr’s view alternated, showing Brynn driving her rapier through the heart of the unknown dark elf. She wore a perverse look of pleasure as she withdrew the blade, the heel of her boot pressed firmly against the elf’s stomach. His eyes bulged as blood spewed from the hole in his chest. He drew one last gurgling breath, and as I watched, his spirit withdrew from his body, speeding through the sky and off to whatever level of Helheim the goddess of the underworld deemed appropriate. If its muddied color was any indication, the spirit was heading for Hel’s inner sanctum.

Please let Forse be okay, please let Forse be okay, I chanted to myself.

I won’t let him leave us. I’m almost to his side, Tyr pointed out. And he was—while I’d been wrestling with mind-numbing fear, he’d been flying. He dove behind the boulder, scooping Forse into his arms and dodging dragon fire as he carried our friend toward Brynn. She jumped as Tyr passed, grabbing onto his leg and holding tight while he flew them away from the wreckage, past the stream of fire, and through the forest.

Hurry, I pleaded.

I am. Tyr’s focus didn’t shift until he reached the shore of a small lake. He dove, depositing Brynn on the ground and cradling Forse as he touched down. I tried not to sob as I took in Forse’s strong form, crumpled in the arms of War.

We need to heal him! I urged.

A tense rumble emanated from my brother’s chest. “Brynn, confirm there are no intruders in a twenty-meter radius. I’ll shield the perimeter once it’s secure.”

“On it.” Brynn blurred around the circle, returning in the time it took Tyr to lay Forse on the ground. “Perimeter’s secure.”

“Excellent.” Tyr held his hand to the sky. A silvery dome encased the area. Forse drew a shaky breath, and Tyr zeroed in on my love. He shut off every screen in his mind but two—the one that continually scanned the dome for threats, and the one that studied his friend. Forse’s skin was unnaturally pale, and his lips were lightly tinted blue.

They’re blue? Oh gods!

I know. Tyr’s eyes narrowed. This isn’t good.

Tyr placed his hand to Forse’s chest and waited six seconds. His mind registered the slowing of Force’s heartbeat.

“Skit,” he swore. “What the Hel did Runa do to you?”

Forse kept his eyes closed and opened his mouth to speak.

He can move! Relief surged through me.

Forse opened his eyes slightly as he rasped out his words. “One of Runa’s crazy hand beams hit my chest. I think it hit my heart.”

Oh my gods. A blast to the heart under any circumstances was dangerous, but Odin only knew what kind of powers the Svartalfheim crystal had given Runa. If it was dark magic, and Runa had blasted Forse’s heart…we were lucky he hadn’t been killed on impact.
