The Charmer
Drums sounded and a horn blew, and that battle was over.
The men barely had time to wipe the sweat and grime from their faces with the backs of their hands when fireworks exploded practically under their stag’s feet. Jasmine gripped her chair, afraid she was going to see guts. An opaque blue haze rose up, obscuring the scattered riders from view. When the sound of battle rose from the blue smoke, Jayems explained without prompting, “They’re fighting blind, using scent, hearing, and kinetic sense to find their opponents. The stag is particularly useful for such combat, as its kinetic sense and bravery match that of a Haunt. A horse would be worse than useless in such a fight.”
