Excerpt:
“It’s not enough, Lennox. I’m sorry.
Everything else I need I have, just not here. But, the good news is if she’s fighting past
whatever interference has been put up then she has to be close.”
“She’s right,” said a menacing, raspy voice
from behind.
All three of us whirled around, immediately
alerted to the intruder. Margaret and
Regis floated behind us with their orbs, but the light they let off couldn’t
reach deep enough into the corridor to show the face of the woman
speaking.
On the wall to our right, her shadow
stretched to the very top, the shape of it cut off and contorted onto the flat
ceiling. The lightshow revealed
something on her shoulders slithering, and a quick forked tongue darted out and
back in its mouth.
A snake. I recalled Gilcrest’s vision back in
Finfolkaheem. He spoke of snake, and
Angelique immediately connected it to the enemy.
“Admiring Rellik, I see,” she
snickered. “Angelique found him
fascinating the first time they met, too.”
“Revolted is probably a more accurate
word,” I spat at her, wishing my words would strike her with the venom of the
hideous creature she carried around like a fear-inducing trophy.
She threw her head back and cackled. “He’s a ball python, dear. He doesn’t have venom.”
“How… how did you—”
“No, he doesn’t take the easy approach to
his attack. Any weak creature can use
poison. He finds it far more
entertaining to lie in wait until his victim suspects him the least. Then, and only then, my dear Princess, does
he strike. Do you know what he does
next?”
I didn’t want to play this game. Squaring my shoulders I said, “Since you
killed my mother you may address me as Queen, not Princess.”
“Do you know what he does next, Queen
Fawna? He coils himself around the poor
unfortunate who got in his way and squeezes the life out of her until every
last bit of life that once shined so bright in her eyes disappears entirely.”
“Quite the informative lecture,
Sorceress. But, what happens when the
prey bites back?”
