Chapter Eight

Mordred fumed as his spell faded and the black wolf dissolved into a fog on the air. It had been sheer luck - not all of it good - that he’d been out here in his private sanctuary searching for a solution to the seeping wound on his chest when the wire had been tripped. Expecting a wayward hiker that might serve his dark magic, he’d been doubly pleased by the appearance of Sir Kay and his little witch.

Toying with his enemy had been an irresistible opportunity, despite the cost. He rubbed the aching flesh around his eyes where Kay’s eagle talons had scored the wolf’s face. His face would heal, unless the bitches of Avalon had somehow covered the eagle talons in the same curse as the knight’s sword. The notion gave Mordred pause. His vanity and charisma were as inherent to his success as the sorcery and power he’d studied throughout his many lives.

“I must have them running scared in Avalon if they sent you out again, Sir Kay.” Mordred sneered into the blue flame through which he’d manipulated the encounter with his enemy. In his hand, the pieces of amber glowed faintly as he considered his options.

So close to possessing all three pieces.

Since stealing the second amber, he’d been expecting Kay to show up and yet he’d lived and died a few times without his preferred entertainment, without a real chance to capture the third piece of amber. The priestesses - nothing but a bunch of crones bearing grudges - had kept the amber from him through guile and distance. He’d hungered for a direct battle, a true test of power to power to hone his skills.

The witch of this generation, Diana, was different. Mordred could sense it although his research revealed no indications of how or why she might be stronger. He let his mind wander over what might have been if only he could enchant her to shift loyalties to his side. They would have been unstoppable. No matter now. He’d have all the time in the world to find a replacement for her once he held the third piece of amber and restored the immortality talisman.

Sir Kay and his precious priestess could search these mountains all they wanted. They weren’t strong enough to find the heart of his sanctuary and not nearly strong enough to challenge him here. Of course, it didn’t seem as if he was quite yet strong enough to contain Kay either.

That was an annoyance he would soon resolve. The knight had surprised him with the eagle shifting trick. Surprised him more that he was able to fly out of the trap Mordred had intended to imprison Kay in any form.

Too bad for the wayward knight that he hibernated between leaps into the future. Mordred didn’t indulge in such rest and would forever have the advantage. Combining his knowledge with the two bits of amber in his possession, Kay and his holier-than-thou priestess would soon be dust.

Mordred stepped back from the outcropping of stone he’d turned into a makeshift altar in this cave.
