“You first.” I copied his weird hippity-hop dance. “Is this some kind of ritual? Cause, it’s really stupid and I have to say, you are piss poor warriors.”
“We are Bjarke!” His sword flashed out.
“And?” I ducked under the blade and kicked him in the groin.
Letting out a high-pitched squeak, the mercenary dropped to the floor and cradled his man parts.
“Who hired you?”
He pulled his knife. “I will gut you.”
I knocked it out of his hand. “If you don’t tell me, I’m going to feed you to Qa’a. You know, the Katanic Supreme Leader. You have heard of him, haven’t you?”
His horrified gaze locked on Qa’a who had slithered over to us in his true form. “Vokai. It was Vokai.” He tried to crawl away.
A tentacle shot out, grabbed his right leg and dragged him back. Qa’a ran his long, sticky tongue over the mercenary’s face. “Vokai, the Alliance Minister of War?”
“Yes. Yes. Please do not eat me. Please.”
Qa’a stuffed the screaming Bjarke down his maw.“I will interrogate him later.”
“Okey-dokey.”I suppressed a shudder. I wanted to be nowhere near him when that happened. “Captain Zan is gonna freak when he finds out who the traitor is.”
A terrifying smile curved Qa’a’s mouth.“I look forward to his reaction.
A black blur zipped around the hangar, slicing and dicing the mercenaries.
Dang! I knew Askole had the ability to go to hyper speed, but Xyler did a great imitation of The Flash.
Jaxor’s growls got louder and he shook his head violently.
Damn. It looked like his teeth were stuck in the man’s armor.I did a doubletake.Oh, my, God. Jaxor was eating the man’s private parts.“Bad baby. Spit!”
“Duck,”Kaelen commanded.
I did and a war-hammer impaled a Bjarke sneaking up on me. Guess it did come in handy.
Captain Zan and his men rushed in.
Did the Bjarke surrender? Hell, no. The few still standing kept fighting to the bitter end.
Dad walked over to me. “You hurt?”
“Nope. I left a cuffed mercenary by the back door,” I replied.
“An Executioner snagged him.” Dad frowned. “Is that blood all over Jaxor’s face?”
Shit! Too much blood. I hurried over to him.
He stuffed a lump of flesh in his mouth.
“No! Do not eat that man’s nasty dick. Spit.
Jaxor chewed faster.
Spit! Now!I picked him up and stuck my fingers in his mouth and managed to pull out the mangled man parts. “Ewww.”
Xyler snatched Jaxor out of my arms and held him up.“My son has drawn first blood!”
