A Fight Neither Can Win

[Somewhere in Between Worlds]

“What is this?” Metalara struggled to release her wings, but the locking mechanism was stuck. She had to let go of that girl, so she could pull the emergency release handle. Finally, her wings snapped free and unfolded, but the damned purple-glowing tube was too narrow to fully extend them, and the wind shear forced her wings up and back, where they could do absolutely nothing to slow her fall. “What’s generating all that light?”

“Why do you think I would know? I’m not the mage in the family. My twin is, and he isn’t here to explain what this magical whatchamacallit is.” Mystery Girl ducked and covered her head with her crossed arms. Her dark hair streamed out behind her, tangling in the wind.

“If you didn’t know what it was, then why did you pull yourself into it?” And why the hell did I follow you? Metalara shook her head. That wasn’t one of her better decisions, but she’d felt this inexplicable pull toward that purple-glowing hoop and had not been able to withstand it. Nor was it just her curiosity either that had led her in here. There was something familiar about it, but she couldn’t track down what.

“Because my half-brother, who you tried to strangle, entered it, and I need to get to him. I need to save my family. But that doesn’t explain why you followed me in here. You could have stayed at my brother’s cave.” Mystery Girl peeked between her crossed arms at Metalara. She had peculiar gray eyes that seemed to glow, but that could just be reflected light from this luminous whatever it was.

“I don’t know why I followed you.” Metalara looked away, discomfited by that girl’s direct gaze. She was too perceptive for her own good.

“I’m Sovvan, by the way. What are you called?”

“Metalara, for obvious reasons.”

“I’d shake your hand, but you might try to strangle me again, or are we past that now?” Sovvan offered her a tentative smile. Damn, she was a plucky one.

“That depends. Are you the Agents of Chaos’ minion?”

“Hellfires, no. I stay far away from them.” Sovvan shuddered, but that could be from the temperature. That wind whipping past must be freezing, and her robe didn’t look all that thick.

“Oh please, then why do you bear their mark?” Metalara couldn’t physically roll her eyes because they were convex crystal panes, but she could roll them in her mind, and she did.

“I—what? I don’t bear any such mark.” Sovvan lowered her arms from her head and started frantically searching her body for that mark, starting with her hands.

“It’s between your breasts.”

“Why were you looking at my breasts? Are you a pervert?” But Sovvan pulled her robe aside and peeked at the spot. Her eyes widened at what she saw.

Interesting. So she hadn’t known it was there. Metalara didn’t know what to make of that. “Relax. I check everyone for it. It’s nothing personal.”

“Is that mark why you tried to kill me?”
