Chapter Fourteen
On the side of the mountain, Lâzar roared again and pounded his fists against the shimmering wall of Nerosâ spell. âNo. I wonât be thrown out like that and forced to wait while theyâ Cheyenne! Undo this. Do you hear me?â
âThe whole valley can hear you.â Corian sat cross-legged on the footpath and studied the wall of light. âApparently, youâre being ignored.â
âNot when I donât agree to it,â Lâzar snarled.
âThatâs part of being ignored.â
âNo one asked for your useless commentary, vae shraâni.â The drow stalked along the path and let off another burst of purple fire. It crackled against the shield and again ricocheted off.
Corian leaned sideways and snatched the violet flames with a silver-glowing hand. He closed his fists around Lâzarâs magic and dampened it, then he flicked the transformed metal star with four points into the air and caught it again. âWe have two choices.â
Lâzar slammed a fist into the magical wall. âShut up.â
âWe can sit here and spend the rest of our energy fighting a spell like that, which doesnât seem to have any weak points.â
âEverything has a weak point.â
âOr we can allow whatâs happening up there to unfold and go over the details with Cheyenne later.â
âNo. Cheyenne is not prepared to handle something this delicate on her own.â
âOf course.â Maleshi, who stood in front of the closest switchback, nodded. âThe Cuâón is far better trained in the art of delicacy.â
He hissed at her and turned away again to pace back along the trail. âI donât even know why you came with us, General.â
âWould it surprise you to hear I enjoy the company?â
Corian snorted and immediately wiped the smile from his face when Lâzar spun again.
âNot my company.â The drow looked at the nightstalkers. âNo one enjoys that.â
âI know youâre speaking from personal experience, Lâzar, but Iâll say the same thing your daughter told you.â Maleshiâs silver eyes glowed, reflecting the shimmering white wall. âDonât put words in my mouth.â
âAnd donât think I donât see whatâs going on here.â Lâzar sneered at Corian. âYou two have found an awful lot of free time lately, havenât you?â
Corian cocked his head and fixed the drow with an unwavering gaze. âWeâre back in Ambarâogúl, Lâzar. You knew the risks associated with your return.â
âThose were risks I counted on, vae shraâni. If Iâd known the risks of letting two feral vaga enter the same room, I wouldnât have allowed it.â
âThatâs going too far.â Corian remained seated on the path, though he straightened from where heâd hunched over his crossed legs. âWeâve already spent more time on this side than either of us expected. You and Cheyenne have come to a deeper understanding of each other in the last few days, which I can honestly say I didnât expect either. But itâs starting to show.â
âHa.â Lâzarâs hands formed open claws, and his low growl rose into another furious roar. âMy own daughter. The mór úcare everyone elseââ
âCareful.â Maleshi clenched her jaw, her nostrils flaring. âIf you want her to continue on this path, Iâd avoid the Crownâs name for her.
