Chapter Twenty-Two

Sasha

The griffin landed between Ayden and me, his large wings pushing air out from beneath him and nearly knocking us all off our feet.

I stared up in horror as its large eagle head turned its gaze to me with narrowed eyes. The creature paid no mind to the others, his large body turning slowly in my direction as he marked me as his target.

I could hear the others screaming for me to move, their voices sounding as if they came from a large distance away rather than just on the other side of the beast.

“Sasha!” I could hear Rory’s voice call out. “Come back this way! Stop!”

I hadn’t even realized I’d been moving, my feet stepping back with each step forward the Griffin took. I couldn’t find a break in his defenses to dive out of his path. Every move I made, the eagle eyes seemed to follow intently.

Why was it so intent on me? I couldn’t register what it was that the griffin wanted with me. Weren’t they supposed to be guardians of some kind? Creatures of the sun and all that were light and good.

This mythical creature was nothing like the others we had encountered here. The others were creatures of the darker side of myths and legends. They were known for targeting the innocent and causing trouble to those who crossed their paths. But Griffins, they were the opposite.

In every legend I’ve ever heard, griffins were always sentinels, protecting everything. And while in some stories they had attacked the hero, it was only ever because he took the item they had been protecting.

But that wasn’t the case here with me now. I had touched nothing but food, and I doubted that was what the creature was so angry about. Baer and Rory each took food as well. Far more than what I had. And Ayden held a book from the building he had explored. Yet the creature’s gaze never once touched on any of them.

‘You know how to stop it,’ a distant voice whispered.

I could barely recognize the voice that had haunted me so much before. The whisper was barely audible in my mind, but still, he was there.

‘Do what you did with the kelpie,’ the voice urged.

I shook my head, my heel catching on a loose stone as I continued to step back. I stumbled several paces more, the griffin’s feathers ruffling, as my jagged movements to correct my balance.

‘If you don’t do something, he will kill you,’ the voice whispered.

My wolf let out a low growl at the words.

‘Don’t do it, Sasha,’ she warned. ‘You barely managed to come back last time you used that magic. It is too dangerous.’

‘The griffin is dangerous,’ the voice argued with her. ‘If you don’t stop it, it will kill you. Its light will destroy you.’

I flinched at the words, my throat drying as I tried to swallow. “Its light will destroy me?”

“Sasha!” Ayden’s voice called over the sounds in my mind. “Don’t give up! Fight!”

I barely comprehended
