Chapter Nine

I shuddered awake in the darkness.

I was lying on bedsheets drenched in sweat. My head throbbed as I sat up. Touching the back of my head I felt the source of the pain; a large lump that had formed after…

After…

Shit.

I jumped from the bed, feeling about in the darkness until I found the walls of the room I was confined to. The wood grazed against my fingertips until I found a door, turned the handle, and burst through.

I was still on the land of the sun-elves. It was night, and the large space they called home had been lit by hundreds of torches, but rather than the graceful and civilised society that I had found when I first arrived, the place looked like it had been hit by a bomb.

Buildings were destroyed. Fires had only just been put out. Bodies laid under sheets and sobs from mouths that had been stoic when I had arrived were now commonplace.

‘Tall-man!’

Elera appeared from my left, wrapping her arms around me tightly.

‘Elera… What the hell happened?’

‘We were terrified for you! I have never been this connected to a man before and… Well, I did not think you would wake up.’

‘Well, I did,’ I said, wrapping my arms around her tightly then pulling her away and looking into her eyes. ‘Where are the rest of the girls?’

‘Umm…’ For the first time Elera showed some inhibitions and some sense of reluctance.

‘What?’ I asked, feeling the colour drain from my face as the hairs raised on my arms. ‘… Are they all right?’

Elera looked up at me with wide eyes that became wet in the moonlight. Those few seconds in which she paused were some of the longest in my life.

‘Lara and Ariadne are fine, but…’

‘Santana?’ I said sharply. ‘Where is she? Don’t… Don’t tell me she’s…’

Elera paused again, swallowing deeply.

I wanted to scream at her to tell me, but it was a struggle to even muster the words to ask. I didn’t want to know.

‘Is… Is she dead?’

‘I don’t know.’

‘What? How can you not know? Are the sun-elves looking after her?’

‘No.’

‘Then what?’

‘The wood-elves have taken her.’

I processed the words slowly, feeling stunted in my understanding of them. It felt like my brain had slowed down beyond my control in order to stop me from going crazy on the spot.

That was worse than my wife dying. If she had been killed it might have been quick, might have been merciful…

But right now she was out there, kidnapped by a feral tribe – and they could have been doing anything to her.

‘Oh, God…’ I felt my breath catch in my throat. A brutal, searing rage filled me immediately. ‘Where’s Artrix?’

‘They are meeting nearby to organise a party to head out in pursuit of them.’

‘They still haven’t headed out? Are you fucking kidding me? Where are they?’

‘That way.’ Elera pointed towards the tree at the centre of the land, and no sooner did I set off sharply towards it.

‘Wait!’ Elera called after me.

‘I haven’t got time to wait,’ I growled.
