Chapter Fourteen

Location Earth / Florida present day:

Dyniessus sudden cry of pain as she collapsed to her knees brought Sister Leenara running to her side.

“What’s wrong Sister?”

She joined her Sister on the ground a second later as Loviatar’s communion slammed into her like a war hammer with its intensity. The message was short and direct.

Their Sister Torenundra was dead!

As soon as Loviatar’s presence left them, Leenara pushed herself off the ground unsteadily. Looking at her Sister, she hissed unbelievably.

“The Barbed Antitheus and the Scourge that followed her, what happened to them?”

“They are all dead too.”

“How … how is that possible? The whelp hasn’t even come of age yet.”

Opening her eyes, Dyniessus met her sister’s gaze incredulously as she realized what the only answer could be.

“The half-breed is a Paladin of Ukko after all!”

Lytolna’s fearful hiss carried in the heavy night’s air as the Scourge nearest to them shifted nervously at the sound. Rising to her feet, Dyniessus signaled for her sister to follow.

“Come with me quickly.”

For the last seven years since the Tuonellian armies had been decimated, the Priestess of Loviatar had focused on corrupting the monarchs of the various races of Irlendria. Confident that their ancient nemesis had been destroyed, they knew it was only a matter of time before they conquered all of Irlendria, but now all those years of careful planning could be in jeopardy.

With the blessing of Ukko, the Klavikians had held against the marauding armies of the Tuonellian for over a millennium. Their twelve paladins were able to protect their armies from Loviatar’s corrupting touch, denying the Tuonellian’s their rightful place as rulers of the weaker races.

The younger Sisters of Loviatar would scoff at her fear of one lonely Paladin of Ukko remaining, but Dyniessus understood better than most priestesses what the battles between their Gods meant. Heading to the center of the greater circle of power she had drawn out earlier. She picked up the dead Werewolf pup turning to her sister.

“We need a new tracking spell for the whelp!”

Unquestioning, Leenara followed her Sister’s orders. Working quickly, both priestesses began chanting to create the new spell. As the power began to build around them, Dyniessus ripped the little Werewolf pup’s hind legs out from the roots as Leenara prepared the tinnearlian chain. Focusing her Will, she removed the remnants of the last tracking spell.

Pulling the last remaining hairs of Novastar Ironwolf from the pouch inside her robes, Dyniessus pressed them against the hind leg she’d just removed along with her last stone from Winter Fangs. Focusing her Will, the green flames of her power began to glow brightly when she felt the sudden disruption.

Before Dyniessus could raise her defenses within the circle of power where they both knelt, she felt the power of Ukko flow into the Werewolf pup’s body lying at the center of the circle as a golden light began shining forth from the lifeless corpse. She had just enough time to look into Leenara’s shocked face, when the little body began to disintegrate in front of them.
