FINN COULD HEAR ALL manner of sounds around her: chants, roars, stomps and general sounds of combat. Yet she got no response when she called out.

‘What the vekt is going on!’ Her curiosity was killing her. She was half tempted to jump down off the car and take her chances with the Shade tentacles in an effort to find out who was out there.

Fortunately for Finn, she didn’t have to.

She heard a sound very familiar to her ears. It was the sound of a Shade’s true death, the explosion of its petrified form. With the first Shade’s death, the darkness that permeated the carpark level seemed to lift slightly. Whoever these people were, they looked nothing like the humans Finn had seen so far.

One seemed to be a red, partially feline woman. She moved exceptionally fast with incredible agility. Finn thought that she might actually be able to give the Shadow Dancer a run for her money. The next stranger was like a huge satyr, but instead of goat’s legs, they seemed to be more akin to the hind legs of a horse and with the hardened bone sticking out which it used to attack as well as stomping the ground with its powerful legs which caused shockwaves. Finn determined that the one with the white ponytail and goatee beard was the magic user as she saw him let loose several spells. She saw the fourth one, a boy that she thought looked like he was in desperate need of a hospital, talking to the goatee guy.

Whoever these four individuals were, they had been fighting the Shades, which was music to Finn’s ears because she was dangerously low on faerie dust for her guns.

The remaining Shades, depleted of Essence, couldn’t withstand the assault on them for much longer and they soon lost cohesion, dissolved and seeped into the ground, which caused celebration among the strangers, Finn was less than pleased however.

‘What the vekt do you think you’re doing?’ She yelled.

‘Saving your backside by the looks of things,’ replied the big one. ‘You’re welcome by the way.’

‘Stop it, Borion. She’s probably in shock at seeing the Shade and us. A quick wipe of her mind and we’ll be on our way.’

‘Praise be, Ferin,’ Borion said with a clap of his hands. ‘Me and Katrin can’t wait to get off this dump.’

‘You know it, baby,’ she agreed.

‘I might be able to help you with that,’ Finn stated as she trained her guns on them. ‘Nobody’s wiping anything.’

‘Well that’s gratitude for you,’ the feline said as she bared her fangs and claws.

‘Uh-uh, down kitty,’ Finn said with a shake of her head, ‘unless you want putting down permanently.’

The air was thick with tension, neither side willing to stand down. Things were on the verge of kicking off. An ill-conceived twitch could be all it took to light the fuse. And the boy, Finn believed to be sick, detected something that could be such a twitch.

‘Ferin! That energy I sensed within the Shade that exploded.
