Garnock sped across the starlit landscape, back to his lair in the cold, clammy basement of the school, where he would be safe.

What the devil had just happened? He had eaten the souls of beetles he had found among the dead leaves that had tasted better than that! Who was that boy? How was this even possible? But he already knew the answer, even though he didn’t want to face it.

As much as he had hoped the centuries might have killed off his enemies, it seemed the Lightriders were alive and well even to this day.

He did not know who that lad was, but he certainly had Lightrider blood in his veins. Garnock couldn’t get the vile taste of his soul out of his mouth.

How disgusting!

Even more disgusting to him was how he had no choice but to cower in the basement. Killing ghosts was one thing, but he knew he was not strong enough to face even a baby Lightrider yet.

If his enemies were indeed still out there, then he had better get his full strength and his body back soon.

Unfortunately, he had a long way to go to fulfill the Spell of a Hundred Souls and rid himself of this ghastly spectral form.

At the moment, he was too sickened by the terrible taste of the Lightrider’s son even to think about feeding on the schoolchildren right now. Perhaps he’d lie low for a while, just to be safe.

The worst thing that could happen would be for the Lightriders to come looking for him before he was ready.

He vowed to himself that they would not destroy him twice. If they managed to kill him—for real this time—then there’d be no escaping his bargain with the demon, and Garnock had no intention of spending the rest of eternity in the underworld.

He’d seen the place. It was bad enough to visit. He had no desire to live there.

No, best to hide for now. He could be patient. Once the Spell of a Hundred Souls was complete, he’d be practically invincible.

Then he could take his time enjoying his revenge.

Indeed, once he was back to his old self, he knew just where to begin: with that boy, the Lightrider’s spawn.

A sudden inspiration put a malignant smile on his face. Why, he would deal with the lad the same way he had dealt with that meddling monk.

Yes, when the time came, he’d take the brat’s head.

And keep it for all eternity.
