SAVAGE! YOU FOOL! Is there any limit to your incompetence!” Davos paced the heavy stones. Savage shook his head, not sure where he was. Then the glyphs on the rock walls stirred a stinging memory.

“Not this place again!” he searched for the huge spa, infested with reptiles and shredded corpses, yet found only solid floor beneath his feet.

“Savage!”

He shot his attention toward Davos, though he didn’t want to look directly at the man, or whatever it was.

“Sir, I promise. I almost had them, I just need…”

“You need to shut up!” Davos sneered. “You fool! You had five of them—five! Right in your grasp! And you let them get away! Fool!”

“But they had help, sir,” he explained. “There were these children and they…”

“Children! Savage do you hear yourself? You’re saying you were duped by some children? How incompetent are you!”

“Sir, you don’t understand. They weren’t normal children. The boy’s the son of a local inventor. They had some sort of advanced technology or something. To tell you the truth, it seemed magical. It was terrifying. Whatever they have, it’s powerful.”

“Advanced technology, you say? Magical?” Davos held out his hands and cupped his palms, touching the fingertips together. A tiny dot of vermillion light forced Savage to squint. He watched it grow to the size of a fist. As it hovered between Davos’ fingers, emitting showers of sparks, Savage stepped back and protected himself from the miniature inferno.

“I’ve got my own little surprise for those annoying children. I’ll teach them for interfering.”

Savage tried to comprehend what he was seeing. Who was this man? Was it even a man? Obviously the sphere was highly advanced. He snuck a look, not caring if the brightness scorched holes in his retinas. It projected power like a tiny, crimson star. He wondered how much it would fetch on the defense market. He knew of several countries that would pay through the nose to get their hands on this kind of hardware.

“What, what is it?” he drooled.

“Just a little toy of mine.”

“Great!” Savage stood straight. “You can use that to fight off those kids and their magic machine while my men and I grab the creatures. It’s perfect!”

“Not so fast, Savage,” Davos snapped his fingers. Three women stepped from a network of stone pillars behind him, their black lace gowns mixing into silhouettes, making it difficult for Savage to tell if they were real or not.

“Who are they?” he asked. They chuckled to one another. The one in front was the smallest, yet what she lacked in height, she made up for in width. Short and round with a bulging nose, she seemed to be the leader of the trio.

“They’re the ones who are going to do what you couldn’t. They’re going to locate those creatures for me once and for all.”

Savage studied them more intently. The women wore dark shawls over their heads. His vision adjusted to the murkiness and he made out features on the two taller women, one bone thin, the other not so thin.
