At least twenty sorcerers entered, donned in long crimson hooded robes. Their magic stank of blood. Their faces were hidden. Each had on a necklace with a different colored stone dangling from the chains.
Together, they raised their hands in the air. Crackling spheres of electric flames sparked inches above their fingers.
Showing no fear, my fire sorcerers materialized enormous fire balls that glowed white and sizzled in the air.
Azar frowned. “Zoe can still save you and—”
“We end this now and kill them together.” I readied myself to fight and bared my fangs.
“Damn it, fairy.”
Silent, Adae’s gaze remained on the sword as if completely infatuated.
Azar gritted his teeth. “I want you safe.”
“And I want. . .you and me. Forever.”
Azar opened his mouth in shock.
“An angel.” Adae scowled. A black sword appeared in his hands. The blade was as black as night. Tiny gray skulls formed the hilt. And even far from it, I could smell the death reeking from the edge.
Adae’s scowl deepened. “An angel gave you the sword back.”
An angel? What is he talking about?
Silent, Azar remained on guard.
“That is what I smell.” Adae’s nostrils flared. “Your sword. . .has come back from the heavens, but. . .how? It. . .is not a living thing. . .only a living thing could return from heaven.”
Azar sneered. “Come closer. Let me whisper the secret in your evil ear.”
Adae’s gold eyes glowed to white. “You threaten me, little pathetic demon?”
“I do.”
Roaring, Adae charged our way with his black sword high in the air.
Azar got back in front of me and stabbed at the air in front of him.
Adae dodged and turned, his robe twisting with him.
Azar sliced the air, coming close to getting Adae’s neck, but not close enough.
Chaos ensued around us.
Those evil sorcerers slung their balls. We scattered and dodged.
My sorcerers answered back while the warriors rushed forward.
Behind Adae, I lunged forward to stab him in his back. Somehow Adae sensed me and disappeared, leaving behind a dark cloud of smoke.
What?
“Fatou!” Azar shoved me to the right.
Adae had reappeared behind me with his sword in the air.
Azar swung Soul-Breaker at him.
