Kieran

Kieran watched Alexis hurry away, her face screwed up in terror. The fireworks were about to begin, and she would send this whole place scrambling in a way no one else could.

“Wait for it,” Kieran said to Jerry, putting his hand on the giant’s shoulder. “What she did on the mountain was nothing. Wait for…”

He paused as a flash of power rolled through his flesh and bone. The lightning cracked down, this bolt a little closer to Dylan than the last. Great god of the sea, the Demigod of Zeus had some mighty power with that lightning. It felt like it was drawn directly from the heavens and aimed together with Mother Nature herself. The spectacle set him on edge.

Then again, dealing with a Demigod of Hades, cloaked in invisibility, had been terrifying in its own way. He’d gotten used to that. He could get used to this.

“Wait for her signal,” Kieran continued, “walk away from us so we don’t get blasted with you, and then turn this mountain into your playground.” He held up a finger. “If you can lock those non-magicals into a stone safe room a Berserker can’t break through, I’d be grateful. One thing, though…”

The next flash and boom were a little closer to Dylan, the countdown its own warning. Dylan watched Kieran, not moving, not even showing concern. The descendants of Zeus did arrogant indifference in their sleep.

“If you think Demigod Flora will force you to shift back—”

“She can’t force me to do shit,” Jerry said, his voice a deep growl. “What’s the signal?”

“Absolute chaos. You won’t be able to miss it. ”

Jerry grunted and stepped forward, moving deeper into the trees, his skin mottling as he did so, turning to stone.

It had been damn lucky getting that giant. He’d made things ten times easier than Kieran could’ve imagined. No wonder he’d been so sought after.

“Thane, the second you think Flora might regain control of the situation, go Berserk.”

Thane nodded and jogged back through the trees. He’d find a trajectory that set him directly against the enemy, ensuring he didn’t get distracted by his own people.

“Boman, bend your light around yourself and Alexis to keep both of you hidden. Alexis can work through the haze. Spirit will help her see.”

Boman nodded and took off.

“Donovan.” Kieran paused for the next flash and explosion of lightning. Electricity built in the air and sizzled across his skin. Dylan was preparing to act, Kieran would bet his life on it. Hopefully the guy didn’t try to take Kieran out with the other Demigod. He seemed smarter than to try, but a cornered man was a desperate man, and Kieran didn’t totally trust him. “Stay with me. You might need to rip me out of the way of lightning. Flora’s lightning is powerful enough to punch down multiple feet into water before it spreads out. I might not have feet, especially not at first. Shove or yank me out of the way. Whatever it takes.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Zorn—” Kieran paused again for the lightning.
