“Ok Kita, how are we going to catch this dorphan? And does it have to still be breathing to cash in the benefits?” Ean asked.“No, it does not. Most of the beast's value is after its death. Rector can use a magic negating ritual circle to prevent the beast from using its earth magic, and then you and I can end its life. Once overwhelmed it is known they can travel at remarkable speeds under the earth and without a tracking spell, would prove almost impossible to catch,” Kita said in a clear commanding voice.Ean turned quizzically to Rector, “Ritual circles? Isn’t that wytchcraft only used by the strangers and mage women from Winterwurm?”“I can only use a select few spells in that department. Protection, healing, those sorts of things,” Rector coughed, “The ones that lean to a darker side of magic, I am unfamiliar with.”“I do not know what these supposed strangers or witches are, but our Illiad’s use ritual magic,” Kita started to say.“We know. The women that are selected provide a

“Hey! What do you think you’re doing!?” Kealy called out, rushing forward, drawing her dagger.Growling loudly, Kiri rose to her feet, releasing Rex and spun to meet Kealy, grabbing her by the scruff of her tunic, lifting her off the ground with one hand, and with her other hand, flicked the dagger free from Kealy’s grip. The assault was so fast Kealy barely had time to let out a breath or react. “We only needed a few more minutes to be finished, you are indeed a selfish little worm,” Kiri growled, her voice rough.“Yeah, finish killing him!” Kealy yelled, struggling against Kiri’s grip.“Kiri, please drop her. She must have gotten the wrong idea, it was more…” Rex said, quickly appearing beside both women, placing a hand atop Kiri’s that holding Kealy aloft.“Oh my god, you were…with her!?” Kealy said, flicking her eyes between Rex and Kiri. She noticed his dishevelled tunic with parts torn at the arms, scores of scratches down his forearms, one on his cheek, and a purple mark that w

Rex’s companions all went open-mouthed seeing how quickly and easily Kiri and Skul both changed their surroundings. Kiri had just finished conjuring a large spit over a quickly lighting roaring fire, while Skul had just finished work on a wooden bar, “If you could please add an attendant,” Skul said with a wry smile looking over to Kiri.“Of course,” she replied, clapping her hands.A few seconds later, a seven-foot fur-covered, heavily muscled half-wolf, half-man entered the clearing from the darkness of the tree line, coming to a stop behind the bar. He had torn pants on that covered his manhood that ended just above the upper joint of his wolf-like hind legs but wore no clothing covering his hairy human-like upper body.“He will not speak but will obey when asked for a drink. I’m afraid with such short notice I can only provide honey ale, or a wine made from forest berries grown in my own garden, my personal favourite,” Kiri said with a smile, placing one hand on the bar Skul had c

“Well, that could’ve gone a lot better,” Ean said, exhaling loudly while pulling his conjured sword from the bleeding throat of the now-deceased dorphan at the same time Kita pulled out a sharp snapped branch from the creature’s belly.“Yes. This was sloppy amateur work that nearly ended with a grave injury to Rector, as well as losing our kill,” Kita said, tossing the branch aside.“I’ll be fine. We still got our kill, with minimal damage to the important parts of the beast we needed to harvest. It will take some time, but I will be able to slowly heal my arm in stages,” Rector continued, adjusting his torn sleeve sling slightly, wincing quietly.“It would have been nice to know that your trap spell was going to arm and trigger straight away,” Ean said with a sigh while brushing the traces of wet blood from his palm down his trouser leg.“I told you my magic is starting to depreciate. I also mentioned without Mhurl helping to keep my an’uul from closing my magic has become increasing

“Rex,” Skul said, visibly shaking, “I feel myself beginning to falter with the next step that I am required to perform, would you be my second?”“Uh,” Rex stammered, the words pulling him from his momentary brain pause, “I don’t know what is required of me in this situation.” In Rex’s mind with all the books and movies he had read and seen a ‘second’ was required to lop off the person’s head after disembowelling themselves and that did not fit into a marriage situation.“My dear, he is asking you to hold him steady, like Horken is doing for Teema,” Kiri interjected softly, adding a smile while speaking, nodding at Horken.“In that case, yes. I can do that for you,” Rex replied with a nod, visibly relieved.Moving to stand behind Skul, Rex looked over and studied how Horken was holding Teema. Copying how his arms looped under the pits of Skul, gently holding his head steady, Skul sagged a little of his weight into Rex’s grip. Rex could feel Skul’s body relax slightly under his grip, an

“Judging by your expression I’m guessing you aren’t going to tell us how you intend on overcoming the obstacles you described to us?” Rex asked, a little exasperated, using one of his knuckles to massage above one eye.“It’s much more fun to find out when it happens, then having the skill and aptitude to overcome any obstacles that arise while having that sort of fun, THAT is the thrill, no?” Kiri replied with a large smile.“Are you trying to tell me when you go into a battle, and something goes wrong, it’s a thrill for you?” Kealy asked, one eyebrow raised.“The deciding moment when you find out if it will be your last moment or if you have the fortitude and wits needed to overcome the surmountable odds is a thrill, yes,” Kiri replied with a knowing smile and quick nod, “But alas we will not be travelling tonight, watch Skul and Teema must be observed while the spell finalises. We will leave at dawn on the morrow, I suggest you all rest while you can.”“You’re speaking differently t

Rex and Kealy had just finished another unarmed spar, Kealy was having to pick herself up from the ground once more, “I don’t understand how your reactions are so fast. I can jump short distances between shadows, and you catch me before I can strike every blasted time.” “I don’t know what to tell you,” Rex chuckled, reaching out to clasp onto Kealy’s hand to pull her to her feet, “I can half sense, half feel where you are, so I react to that sensation.” “I told you before rogue,” Dilo growled, “It’s called battle sense. He is so focused on the fight with you, his whole body is tuned in to react to whatever you try and do. But that can also be a downside, go again.” Setting themselves up to spar once more, Rex soon gained the upper hand in the fight when Dilo suddenly shot into Rex while standing out of his sight range. She was just about to strike him in the kidney when he rolled his body slightly, causing the blow to be a glancing strike instead, catching her wrist from the overext

Once the goodbyes had been finished, and Skul was walking through to the edge of the clearing holding Teema’s hand, Kiri turned to the group left, “I have let go of the magic involved with the multiple summons I had prowling the forest to prepare for what is next, I need about ten more minutes, and we will be able to begin the journey ourselves. I will require the assistance of all battle-ready individuals during this process though.” “We are all battle ready except for Venya, “Rex said, a hint of confusion creeping into his voice, “What will we need to be ready for?” “Battle obviously,” Dilo growled, shaking her head. After a quick sigh of frustration from Rex at her comment, Dilo smirked and held out her hand to him, “I will need the use of my sword if we need to be ready to fight.” Kealy was the only person to object, “Wait! You took that from her because she attacked us, how do we know once she has her sword and our attention is elsewhere, that she will not resume her earlier a
