EIGHTEEN

Ambush

Freina knelt beside the wagon tracks and lifted her snout to the frigid air. A slight breeze ruffled her black feathers, making their natural darkness ripple. She traced a clawed finger around a hoof print in the mud. The Hag almost smiled. They had found their prey at last. Freina rose to her full seven foot height and faced her sisters.

“What is it you have found, sister?” Garelda screeched.

Freina narrowed her sharp eyes. “The Humans are less than a day ahead of us and moving slowly.”

Brom, the shortest of the three, flexed her wings. The bone necklace jingled with movement. “Which direction do they move?”

“East, towards the mountains.”

Garelda’s mood darkened. “Do we tell the demon?”

Freina considered the repercussions of each action. Amar Kit’han was powerful, easily capable of destroying the Harpies. They were an ancient evil that few could master. Kit’han’s displeasure once bothered her, but no more. The thrill of the hunt was far too alluring to allow any fear to take root. But either path offered grave consequences. They must proceed with caution.

Finally she answered, “No, we follow first. The demon will want to know where the Humans are going.”

“But the Murdes Mountains are not safe, even for our kind. Let the demons deal with these creatures themselves,” Brom cautioned.

Freina flared angrily. “We follow the Humans.”

The Harpies leapt into the air. The hunt had begun.
