“Any idea what is going on up there?” I peered into the gloom. Dawn was approaching fast, but it would be a long time before the sun pierced through the clouds. If they did at all. The storm was too strong.
And above it, there was something else, the sound of something large approaching. A predator to scare all predators. The trees bent with the force of a hurricane.
Something massive was above us.
Even with our advanced sight, we couldn’t see what it was.
“It’s one hell of a storm, that’s what.” Raze’s eyes never left the fast-moving clouds swirling above our heads.
It wasn’t that. I was sure of it.
Something else was up there.
And I had a sneaking suspicion I knew what it was. Moving without thinking, I shoved the taller man back into the doorway.
“Get back.” I knew what was about to happen, just as I knew what was above us.
Something white fell from the sky, landing with a bloody thump where only moments before we had been standing.
A white goat.
Its neck was bent sharply, and its glassy sightless eyes stared up at the sky.
“Is that what I think it is?” Raze said on an in-breath, his barrel-like chest swelling.
Risking a quick glance at him out of the corner of my eye, I nodded.
“Yeah, Levi has sent us a message.” Crouching over the bloody remains of the animal, I threw a glance over my shoulder, my eyes meeting Raze’s. “Get the others up and prepare. Leviathan has a job for us.”
