The walk back to the cabin was a quiet one. Jaz led them with Jo following her. Dean brought up the rear. He held the bundled up sword in one hand while he clutched the unneeded gauze in his left hand. He was looking forward to getting back to the cabin. He knew he needed to clean up that hand and look at it carefully, but still did not know how it healed so quickly. The amount of blood was proof of the severity of the wound. So what had happened back there?

Everyone seemed shocked he could touch the sword. It was a bit like King Arthur removing the sword from the stone. Was he the chosen one in some fashion? Dean was still marveling at the sword, too. He could still picture the silvery, reflective surface, the light weight, and the razor’s edge. He also could picture the blood burning off the blade, turning to ash and flaking away, leaving the blade unblemished. If nothing else, seeing that with his own eyes had assured him that the sword was magical in some way.

Jaz had said she had a plan to find Ashley by utilizing the sword. He wondered what it could be. He was still pretty new to the world of Unusuals and knew there were many things that he didn’t know. Jaz had been raised in and around the lore of that world, even if it was as an adversary to those he considered friends. She must know a lot more about what can be done with an artifact like the heavenly blade.

He was still contemplating the true nature of the sword when they arrived back at their cabin. There seemed to be no signs of intrusion but Jaz didn’t take any chances. She stopped them at the edge of the woods and observed the cabin for a few minutes from a hidden location. Then she had them stay behind her while they approached the front door. The hunter had her sword out in one hand and a pistol in the other. They stepped up on the porch and checked the door. Still locked. Dean retrieved the key, unlocked it, and they went inside. Jaz did a quick sweep of the small building and when she was finished with the upstairs loft bedroom, she nodded.

“It’s clear,” she announced. She holstered her pistol and sheathed her sword, and then removed the sheathed blade from across her back, propping it against a chair before she sat down.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you, Jaz,” Dean said. “Why do you use a pistol when your sword is needed to kill the demons?”

“Two reasons, really,” she said. “The pistol can’t stop the demons permanently but it still injures them for a time. A series of well-placed headshots on any demon will scramble their brains. Sure, they’ll regenerate enough to keep coming in a minute or so, but that gives you options to do other things like run away, or run in close and finish the job with an enchanted or blessed blade like mine.
