Lunar Blessed
Cold, sharp, and full the smell of blood and gunpowder.
The Wild Hunt still circled, watching but staying out of it, as if waiting.
A hunter stepped out of the trees, rifle raised, pointed right at her.
Time slowed down.
Tamara saw his finger tighten. Saw the muzzle flash. Heard the shot.
The silver light burst from her, a shield of moonlight. The bullet vaporized into sparks.
The hunter's eyes widened behind his mask. “She's here! The Moon Blessed is here!”
More hunters appeared. Five, ten, fifteen, all armed and aimed at her.
