Chapter Fifteen

Cheyenne had pulled the map up with her activator just in case and decided not to say anything about it. By the time they reached the end of the corridor and the last turn leading to Venga’s new workshop, the hair on the back of her neck prickled and started to rise. “This feels familiar.”

“I was starting to think the same thing.” Ember turned around to look back the way they’d come and wrinkled her nose. “Why?”

“Beats me, Em. I can’t tell a single part of this place from the next, except for the courtyard. And yeah, I’m pretty sure I’d recognize it if we ended up in the basement torture chamber again.”

They turned the corner and stared down the next long hall. At the end were two huge reinforced metal doors, and those Cheyenne definitely recognized. “No way.”

Ember clenched her fists. “He took the fucking black-goo room?”

“Is that what we’re calling it?”

“Well, what the hell else would you call it? Another torture chamber? The magic-stealing room? A mad scientist’s murder lab? We watched those magicals die in that shit, Cheyenne, and that fucking four-armed lizard thinks it’s funny to take over and play ‘bad necromancer turned not-so-bad and trying to save the world’ in there? No. Uh-uh.” Ember floated at a furious speed down the hallway, purple light flashing around her clenched fists.

Cheyenne silently followed her. I can only imagine how much it would suck right now not to be able to stomp down this hall.

Ember flung her hands toward the double doors and smashed them with a burst of purple light. The doors crashed open and swung back into place a second after the two slipped inside.

That would’ve felt good.

“What the hell are you thinking?” Ember shouted. “You summon us, and don’t say a word about having moved!”

“I sent you a map,” Venga growled.

“You can’t work in here!” Ember floated toward a workbench built into the wall and started grabbing handfuls of vials and bottles and tubes to shove them into a metal crate on the far end. “This whole room needs to be destroyed. Wiped off the map. Taken out of the fortress. I’ll fucking blow it up.”

Venga fixed Cheyenne with wide eyes, his scaly lips pulled back in a snarl. “Do something.”

The halfling folded her arms. “Yeah, you definitely did.”

With a growl, the four-armed scaleback stomped across the room toward Ember. “Put that down, fae. No one told you to pack for me.”

“No one told you it was okay to set up blight-experiment shop in here, either!” Ember stopped her angry packing when Venga snatched her wrist with one arm and removed the half-packed crate with two more to get it out of her reach.

“This is the only room in the whole fell-damn city with even a modicum of usefulness to me, and I still don’t have what I need.”

She jerked her wrist out of his scaly, black-clawed grasp. “Well, maybe you’d find what you need if you weren’t working in a death chamber.”

“Death?” Venga
