Chapter 10

Justin's Journal

Mack growled and began shucking his clothes beside me. Something about the snake bothered him, that was easy enough to see, but the man the snake became? That was worse.

In moments, Mack's wolf stood beside me, and I noticed in a distracted way that he was taller, now. The werewolf really was growing and Mom was right—he'd need new clothes soon.

Lion snake shapeshifter, Merrill sent back to us, referring to the snake-man. Confirmed by Dragon and your father. He's more dangerous than the kapirus, according to them.

"You kill, I not help," the lion snake shapeshifter wriggled again.

"What the hell?" Radomir blinked at the man he and Merrill held.

"I say I here to help. What wrong with you?"

"He speaks English?" Will waded through grass to get to Radomir's side. Russell wasn't far behind as they studied the man. He wasn't more than five-six or so, I noticed, when they set him on his feet.

"Who are you?" Merrill demanded.

"I Darzi. You Merrill. I know this. Let go. Claws hurt."

Merrill cursed softly in Latin, but he released Darzi. Mack and I watched, as if we were witnessing the most bizarre plot twist ever.

"Why are you here?" Merrill wasn't done with the questions. I figured Will and Russell stood nearby, just in case the snake got out of hand.

"Asked to come. Help," he shrugged.

"Wait, I'm getting mindspeech from Dragon," Merrill held out a hand as he listened to the mental sending. Merrill never let you know how he was feeling—he kept that bottled up, somehow. I watched as his shoulders sagged in relief after the mindspeech was over.

"They heard from a superior," Merrill said quietly. "This one is coming home with us afterward—he's extra manpower who volunteered to help."

Wow, Mack mouthed at me.

"I change. Go with," Darzi nodded to Merrill and Radomir.

"All right," Merrill conceded. We watched as the man became a snake again, disappearing below the tall grass.

Dude, Mack shook his head. There's something you don't see every day.

Adam's Journal

Belen sent word? Kiarra was just as surprised as I'd been.

He did. He says the Saa Thalarr boat is sinking, so he's providing a patch. Somehow, I get the idea that Thorsten knows nothing of this. Belen also said he is engaged in settling other abnormalities, but he's still keeping an eye on us, I added.

If that's the case, then Thorsten isn't supposed to know about this, she pointed out. Just as well, I'm so pissed at that bastard, I can't think straight. Thank goodness Belen is still concerned about us.

We'll have another houseguest when we get back, I said. Somebody Belen approved. I wasn't sure how Kiarra felt about snakes, but Belen said he could help and I wasn't about to turn that away.

Who?

A lion snake shapeshifter.

Seriously? We have one on our side? Do you know how cool that is? Kiarra was excited, suddenly.

I hear we have one, I haven't met him yet. He crawled right up to Merrill and Radomir to introduce himself and almost got killed.

Wow. I'm glad they waited, Kiarra sounded breathless.
