Chapter Nine

“Vilka!? Are you there? I need to pee!”

Vilka stood at the end of the grand hall, within earshot of his fragile human mate’s whimpering. She did not like being blind, shackled, and alone, which was understandable. Her current circumstances were not comfortable, but she had not earned comfort. She was naked, naturally, her beautiful curves displayed to full advantage as she squirmed back and forth.

“Seriously! I’m going to make a puddle!”

He smirked to himself. He knew for a fact that she had relieved herself shortly before being taken to the hall. This was about the tenth strategy she had used to try to get herself out of her predicament. None of them had worked, and none of them would work.

“Hush,” he said. “Our guests are about to arrive. If you wish to urinate before them, that is your choice.”

He had already greeted the elders by himself as they arrived at the fortress as a single contingent, heavily attended by royal guardsmen who even now were populating his fortress and irritating his own legion who were still recovering from their hours flying with Avastias. A visit from the elders was deeply unpleasant for all concerned, but under the circumstances, could not be avoided.

Vilka had certainly not greeted them with any eagerness. They looked upon him as a mere pup, he knew that, and they made no attempt to hide it. He had much to prove, and he had proved nothing at all thus far, besides a talent for chaos. Kate’s actions were judged as if they were his own, and for good reason. He was lord of the fortress. Anything that went wrong on his watch was his fault. Vilka knew this and understood it.

“Here they come,” he said, moving closer to his chained mate as the elders began to file into the hall. They wore their ceremonial robes, blue and gold. Like Kate, Vilka wore nothing at all. Unlike her, he was not ashamed.

“Welcome, elders,” he said, addressing the small gathering. “You are here because an event in a hundred generations has occurred. Avastias has awakened. We thought it was impossible to wake a world eater before its time, but we now know otherwise, thanks to this woman.”

He gestured toward Kate and unwound the blindfold from around her head, allowing the elders to look upon Kate and her to look upon them.

“This is Kate,” Vilka said. “She is a young human female who decided to take it upon herself to generate a portal capable not only of allowing her passage to our world, but of waking Avastias in the process.”
