Chapter Seventeen

Thalin bounded around the opposite corner, only to be caught in a sonic attack of fury and duration. Suddenly, Thalin understood what he was hearing. It was the scream emanating from Bokat in a language Thalin could understand. Shocked, he could not fire; instead, he took a moment to maneuver for a better, cleaner shot.

Darr could see what would be Bokat’s next attack on Johan. In an attempt to cover his friend from harm he knelt on one knee and extended his shielded arm to cover Johan. As if on cue, the kimera unleashed a barrage of attacks onto Johan with his lower set of limbs. The monster set about tearing the shield out of the way with his upper limbs. The kimera’s tail stabbed into Johan’s right thigh, pushing around his armor and gouging deeply, sending venom far into the wound.

Johan immediately fell victim to the venom. His leg felt cold like ice. The flesh around the wound felt like it was on fire. Johan’s mind raced faster than his own movement would allow. Thoughts swirled in and out of his consciousness. I’m dizzy, oh so dizzy. Why is the cavern spinning? Please make it stop. Wait, there’s blood. My blood! Oh God, I remember now. No, this can’t be the end, right? Yet I feel so weak. I’m down on my back. I want to stand up, but I can’t. My legs, they won’t move. My body won’t move.

The eyes on either side of its head scanned and determined which of the four remaining attackers was the greatest threat. The solid armored one in front that had tried to defend Johan was the prime target. Bokat focused on Darr.

Unclear whether he had been seen or not, Thalin took this moment to be sure of his form and his footing. Never in his memory had he been given this much time to line up a shot so clear. Thalin had also been given the time to look and to truly see Bokat for what it truly was, a mixture of creatures. Kimera was an apt classification. Just how did the sailor, Johan know it as well? Thalin wondered.

Darr saw he was now the focus of the kimera. The kimera reached down and grasped Gadlin’s hand where he was holding the spear, pulled the spear from his leg, and cast it aside. Gadlin, not releasing his weapon, went as well. Bokat spun the ranger off center, and out of range of the melee. Darr realized that Bokat could easily control each limb individually and without distress. Standing from where he had been
