Eist parried a blow with her halberd, focusing only on the three creatures that she was facing off against on the deck of a naval ship. She certainly hadn’t meant to be grounded, but after attacking some creatures that had been trying to rip off the masts of the ship, she’d been knocked from her perch. If it weren’t for Fior swooping low to catch her and gliding them to the wooden surface, she was sure that her back would be a lot sorer.

Or broken.

Soldiers were all around her, some fighting, some trying to secure the sails, and even more of them loading more dragon’s-light coated spears into their ballistae at the front and back of the ship. She knew there were even more below, dutifully rowing to make sure they stayed out of range of the Blight’s slamming legs.

It wasn’t a kraken this time. Nor any other sort of creature that she could place. Once more, it was just a churning, violent cloud of thrashing limbs and darkness, doing as much damage as it could.

And it was doing quite a lot of damage. Eist was beginning to realize that all the other times they had battled in the past month, it had been testing them out. Learning their responses and how they reacted. Their strengths and their weaknesses. And even though Dille had warned them all of that, it was entirely unnerving to see it in real time.

Several of its arms shot into the water, curling around the ship beside her and hauling it into the sky. Eist tried to race for Fior as the entire boat lifted, but a strong grip caught her below the wrist.

It was Yacrist again, Athar not far behind him. Both had their weapons drawn and started beating back the abominations that had been outnumbering her and Fior.

“Don’t,” he said, not as a command but more as a desperate plead. “Even if you get it to drop it, that boat will shatter to pieces when it hits the water and take down everyone with it. This way, the men can jump overboard.”

“I don’t need you watching everything I do!” Eist snapped, ripping her wrist from his grip and spinning to sweep her halberd in a wide arc. It caught in the waist of one of the charging beasts and Fior followed up by latching his mouth on the creature and flinging it overboard. “You need to trust me!”

“Yeah, but were you or were you not just about t-to try to s-s-save that ship entirely on your own?” Athar asked, blocking a swipe from a creature and running it, another, and one more beast through with his broadsword.

Okay, maybe they had a point, but Eist didn’t like it. She’d been in plenty of intense situations all on her own and had managed to survive. She didn’t want them hanging over her shoulder at every moment. “I don’t need the two of you babying me.”

“We’re not babying you,” Yacrist objected, kicking away an attacker and spinning around so that his large back was pressed up against hers.
