Chapter 9

We met up with Luthias and his troops just outside the soldier’s encampment in the wee hours of the morning.  Nikodem and a few of his peers studied the weapons we’d stolen most of the afternoon. Once they understood the mechanics behind the equipment, it was easy to create a spell to diffuse it.

My body trembled with dread over what we were about to do to the point that I actually longed for the return of the rage I felt while in Luthias’ compound.  We were about one hundred supernaturals in total invading an encampment with at least five hundred wicked minded soldiers, but it didn’t deter us.  Without the use of their weapons, the massacre was expected to be swift and easy.  There was no room for qualms about what we were about to do. I knew they would do it to us in a heartbeat.  I needed to think about the survival of my own kind and not about the fact that I would be killing defenseless people in cold blood.
