The Confliction

Chapter Nineteen

When Zahrellion told Rikky what happened at Kingman’s Keep, Rikky was devastated. It was all secondhand information, but it came from one who had witnessed the terrible event. A single ogre, one who was resting in a snow burrow after his long watch, had escaped the master alien’s attack on the stronghold. Rikky knew his mother hadn’t gotten away. Aikira’s grim feeling was spot on. No one, save for the ogre, had survived.

Lemmy seemed beside himself with grief and guilt. He had just left the keep a week earlier and said he couldn’t imagine it happening like the ogre reported. The ogre described the creature as gargantuan and ferocious. It was as big as a dragon, and as hungry and devastating as a whole horde of Sarax. He said it had dug up the entire keep like a rabid dog searching for a bone. Lemmy said he wanted to see it for himself.

“I’m going.” Rikky seethed through his tears. “I’m going after that fargin’ thing. It killed my ma. I don’t care what it is.”

“You’re not,” Zahrellion argued, but he was already clop-clop-clopping to the landing stair.

“Arghh,” Marcherion groaned from his stiff-legged seat in one of Rikky’s rolling chairs. “I want to go with him!”

Zahrellion rose from her bed and started after Rikky, but Lemmy stopped her. I’ll go, he said knowingly. I’ve known him all his years.

“When you return to Delton, Aikira, I am going with you.” Zahrellion’s tone was firm as she walked back to her bed. “My wounds have healed both inside and out.”

“You’ll be thinking that until you get a lungful of that icy stuff out yonder,” one of the Hazeltine witches cackled. “Even now you’ve lost all your color.”

“You’d all just leave me here?” Marcherion’s voice was intense.
