When we first arrived at the location where Blake was being held, we were greeted by a lone perimeter guard. I made quick work of dispatching him, saying a silent prayer to the Gods for forgiveness for my actions.

Taking a life never gets any easier. Even when the being was corrupt, full of hate and wickedness, like the foes we are facing off against now. Then again, no matter how dark the soul may be, snuffing it out should never be an easy task.

So all-in-all, I think that I am alright if this kind of task still feels like a fist to the stomach.

Forsythia and I make our way towards the mouth of the cave. For being an incredibly clumsy woman, that aspect of her seems to become dormant in fight mode. She has not tripped or anything once we got closer to the cave.

She crouches behind a rock and peers down at the beings surrounding the cave. I mimic her movements, but I can’t take my eyes off hers. How did the Gods deem me so worthy of such a mate? I will never doubt them again. She is everything I could ever have dreamed of and more. And the way we were together last night was—

She snaps her head in my direction and I try to hide the smirk on my face. I know that she can feel my arousal through our soul-bond. I can’t say that I am mad about that, but I try to push those feelings down. We need to focus on our plan of action.

She rolls her eyes and offers me a small smile, before turning her attention back to the cave and the beings congregating not far from it. There are eleven of those beings. We should be able to take them on without any problems, but their magicks are corrupt and a bit unpredictable. Our best course of action is a distraction. I tap Forsythia and, when she turns to me, I point at the sky, then wiggle my fingers as I pull my hand down. She nods, understanding the message I am trying to convey.

She turns around and sits down with her back to the rock. She digs her fingers into the earth and takes some steadying breaths. The sky begins to gray and I hear the low rumble of thunder. As she removes her hands from the ground, droplets begin to fall from the sky. I know the rain won’t last long with her attention divided, but it should be enough to get the enemies all in one spot.

We watch as one group moves closer to the mouth of the cave.

Unfortunately, there is a second group. In the second group, there is one who acts as a leader, and he along with three of his men turn to head in another direction.

Once the second group is far enough away that we no longer register their heartbeats, I reach into the ground and out through the roots. I can’t decipher one of them from another, but I can feel them moving together.
