CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Captain Gaime held the offending sword; she could tell that Purik saw only cash, a child and an Embod he could sell, and was trying to get there first; Felesten saw a potential pet in The Girl, and also wanted to get there first, but Gaime just wanted to see her little body cut vertically head to hip, and wanted to see that, and be that, make that happen, more than the others.

And so, he got there first.

And first, he lost his hand. Then he lost his head to The White Venus’ black sword, his expression still that of victory as his decapitated face slammed into the corridor wall and bounced down to the floor, his severed neck spiraling jets of blood from both his body and the head itself.

Venus kicked the head up and it connected with Felesten’s chin, jerking his head backwards. This allowed Venus to swipe and slice his throat to the spine.

She then danced effortlessly backwards, avoiding the attacks of the other two, but steadied herself and re-engaged, hacking down and up into Purik’s neck, parrying the now terrified and desperate Dreen a few times before swishing off both his hands and cutting his head in half through his mouth as he held the stubs up and screamed.

(Flesh cash. Fleshcash. One word.)

The White Venus dropped The Girl unceremoniously and entered the password. The airlock opened. Lacrelle vanished. The White Venus entered and The Girl followed. The Girl smiled to herself; The White Venus had paused, sacrificed at least three seconds to allow her through and into the airlock as well.

The Girl was earning her place.

The Girl pulled the heavy door closed behind them as The White Venus moved through to the second touchpad and entered the password again, then opened the ship’s airlock, without a care as to what ambush might await her.

The interior was a classic open-plan space cruiser design, with the open flight cabin alcove across the floor to their immediate left, beneath a giant space-glass cabin screen. Lacrelle was standing there, in front of the pilot’s chair, shaking with fear, holding a gun. There seemed to
