when I awake, it keeps me minutely informed of movements on the Frontier. That badge was reconstructed from molecules of ash recovered at the site, and I also have images of you and yours taken during the attack, and beamed down from the satellite. I needn’t tell you what would happen should this information be sent to not only this village, but also every place the lowly human race calls home.”

Having heard that much, Rei-Ginsei hurled a shrike-blade.

It struck an invisible barrier in front of the fearsome blackmailer’s heart and imbedded itself in the floor. In truth, it was then that Rei-Ginsei gave up.

“There is the girl who eludes me to consider as well, “ the voice continued. “I shouldn’t be surprised if she were to pay a call on the sheriff tomorrow, and I assure you she would tell him all about you and your cohorts. I suppose the reason you’ve taken up lodging here in town alone is to kill the girl before she can do so, but as long as she has that man by her side, you’ll not have an easy time of it. After all, your foe is a dhampir—he has the blood of my kind in him. No matter which course you choose, naught save doom awaits your group.”

“Then why would you tell me this? What would you have us do?”

The reason Rei-Ginsei’s tone was surprisingly calm was because the intruder had been right on all points but one, and he’d decided that putting up any more of a struggle would be futile.

“I thought I might lend you some assistance,” the voice said—a remark that was quite unexpected. “So long as the stripling that’s frustrating my efforts is slain, and the girl comes into my possession, I have no interest in what happens in the lowly world of mankind.”

“But how?”

A vicious, vulgar light shone in Rei-Ginsei’s eyes. He realized he might have a chance now to slay the young punk—-his opponent back in the fog. That was the one point on which the

Count had been mistaken. He hadn’t left his three henchmen camped in the woods and come into town alone to keep the girl from talking. Well, that had been part of the plan, but his true aim was much more personal. He’d had the little bird where he could rip her wings off, tear her legs off, and wring her dainty neck, and his foe had taken her right out from under his nose. Worse yet, he’d known the humiliation of being paralyzed by a ghastly aura that kept him from lifting a finger against his foe, and he’d had the invincible shrike-blade he prided himself on knocked from the air with a single blow. He’d gone into town to see to it his foe paid for all these things. It was malice. Just as full of hatred and longing for vengeance as he was, his henchmen agreed to his plan. He returned to town alone to be less conspicuous as he looked for the girl and his mysterious foe.
