The Snow Beast’s Lair

The cave was enormous, three times the height of a man, furnished with two tables, one much larger than the other; a chair; and a series of shelves, all carved into the mountain. Trinkets, parchments and over-sized tomes sat on the shelves. In the corner was a large fire pit; to the side, a massive cabinet made of rough timber planks.

Augum felt like a tiny child in comparison to these oversized things.

The beast set Bridget down on the giant table. Augum had to discard his rucksack and food bag to climb it, giving Leera a hand up. Chaska then hoisted a moaning Haylee up, helped by Augum and Leera.

“I think my leg is broken,” Haylee said through gritted teeth. “Oh my word that hurts.”

“Are you bleeding?” Augum asked, accepting his rucksack from Chaska and placing it under her head.

“Don’t think so. Check on Bridget.”

Augum raced to Bridget’s side, already attended by a panicking Leera.

“Put … hand … on … it. Pressure …” Bridget mumbled, pale as snow.

“She lost a lot of blood,” the beast said in a casual manner, taking a seat on a giant rock chair. He picked up a sharp tool and a stone carving of a human. “She will probably die. I would not even bother, if I were you.”

The beast’s words were poison to Augum’s ears. “No, she can’t, we won’t let her—!” Augum placed his hands over the wound on the right side of her stomach. “Please, you have to help us!” Blood squished through his fingers, instantly reminding him of Mya. He felt like he was going to throw up.

“I already helped you.” The beast didn’t even look up. “You owe me as it is, lowlander.”

“Other … one … too …” Bridget mumbled, gesturing at a bloodstain on her left shoulder.

Leera carefully removed Bridget’s coat and gasped at the large gash. She quickly pressed her hands on it while Bridget’s eyelids closed halfway.

“What can I do, what can I do!” Chaska said in a frantic voice.

“You can sweep the floor,” the beast said, holding up the figurine and inspecting it close. “Then you can make a fire, put some snow in my mug and melt me some tea.”

“What—! No … I mean, what can I do to help Bridget!”

“You can watch her die, Henawa. But be grateful, for the other one will live. Though painful, it appears the break has not pierced her skin. Keep her leg raised and cool with ice.”

Chaska hesitated, glancing desperately between Bridget and Haylee.

“Go ahead, we have her,” Augum said.

Chaska nodded and jumped off the table, soon returning with armfuls of ice. He raised Haylee’s leg onto his rucksack while she howled in pain, and applied snow to the break.

Leera’s freckled cheeks were stained with tears. “Damn you, you … you mangy ball of fur! Why won’t you help us with Bridget!”

The beast glanced at her, and for the first time Augum had a good look at it. It had the face of a wolf but lacked the ears.
