Chapter 9

“You want me to kill it?” Mahini breathed.

“Of course,” I told her. “You may have killed the creatures that actually killed the Golden Swords, but this creature gave them the orders. They will not be truly avenged until the leader is cut down, once and for all.”

“W-Well, yes, but…” The desert woman looked at me with wonder in her blue eyes. “That honor should belong to you, Great One.”

“I’m already a god,” I said as I shook my head. “This is my gift to you. Elrin won’t care who lopped the goblin’s head off as long as we bring it back to him.”

I took several long steps back and left Mahini standing in front of the simpering goblin.

“Avenge your family, Mahini,” I said to her as I covered the door.

The dark-haired goddess stared at me for a long moment before her expression turned fierce. Every memory of the Golden Swords seemed to flicker in her eyes, and when she finally turned to face the pitiful goblin leader, she stood as strong as a mountain.

I shuddered at the faint sound of her leather-clad fingers gripping the hilt of her sword. The desert warrior woman was a force to be reckoned with, and I was so glad she was mine.

“This is for my family,” Mahini whispered as she lifted her sword.

The goblin couldn’t understand her, and its eyes filled with terror as it finally realized what was happening. It gabbled at me, but when the sword finally whipped through the air, the creature’s piercing wails were cut off like a record yanked off a turntable.

The copper mine was free of goblins at last.

“Well, that was fun,” I joked as I nudged the severed head with my toe. “What should we do with all the bodies?”

“Leave them,” Mahini suggested as she wiped her sword on the headless body. “The villagers will be awed by the prowess you have shown here.”

“Hey, come on, I didn’t do this alone.” I gestured to the pile of bodies the desert goddess had created. “We cleared this place out together as a team. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

“Don’t flatter me, Great One.” A radiant smile lit up Mahini’s face, and her cheeks darkened with a blush. “You would have defeated all of the goblins as easily as you slaughtered the kobold horde. I was merely your backup.”

I shook my head but didn’t try to argue with her. In a way she was right. It might have taken me another few thousand tries, but I would have eventually cleared out the mine without her assistance. Her humility was endearing and added to all of the other wonderful qualities about her.

After I snatched up the lead goblin’s head, I led the way back through the mine. When we reached the room where I got my feather sword, the two
