Sanchezs greater concern lay elsewhere. Weve known for moons the only way to stop this siege is to deal with the mothership above Cryzoar, Balcruf said. It sends countless dispatches of ships and raiders, and those Varg who are abducted in battle are taken there. To date, none of our weapons dent it. Nothing gets through eventheir shields. Even our magis— or aetherions, as you outworlders call them— can’t harm the vessel. Additionally, while we do not have skycraft of our own, a pack tried to board the ship using Locke’s raider vessel, but the mothership’s anti-air assault proved too powerful to contend with.” Sean braced himself on the wall by planting both hands flat on the surface and looked down. His fear of heights mixed with the constant dizziness nearly caused him to vomit. Sean nodded.Yeah. He looked at his friend and Adriana. “You two come with me.” Then he addressed the other three. “You stay here and cover the path back up to the church. If they try to run, take them out.” Scared? Jace chirped— a quiet, whining sound— and hung his head. Tayel patted his shoulder. He hadnt slept well the night before. He’d tossed and turned and called out garbled names into the jacket he used as a pillow, but Tayel hadn’t thought of anything she could do to help. At least he’d slept at all. She’d been getting less and less as the days grew hotter. Francisco is having a little get-together tomorrow night. Perhaps you would like to accompany me. He gave one more look at the bodies on the floor. After all, one cant have enough protection, hmm?” Sean spit blood through his lips and crawled toward the edge of the wall overlooking the rolling desert plains and hills. He grabbed the walls lip and pulled himself up. He blinked rapidly, bringing the scene below and the Dead Sea in the distance into focus. Tayel, look out! We cant trust outworlders to defend our own, a Varg barked. Either way, its barbaric. It wouldn’t kill you to learn a little discretion. Tayel bit the inside of her cheek, stopping the instinct to grin. It had been the intention all along to destroy the ship once the Varg were freed and the data collected. If the other, larger group from Kalanie succeeded in their escapade, then magi waited below ready to prevent the destruction Ruxbane promised. Balcruf watched her, his grave side glance a warning not to blow their plan. We need to go, Locke said, eyeing his watch. The Varg alpha isnt going to let us in if we’re late.” Sean reached in his pocket and produced the medallion. The Captain nodded sympathetically.I can understand that. What are they doing here? he asked. Immelman charged forward. Adriana sprang from her crouch to meet him, sword raised over her shoulder. Her eyes, while focused on his attack, also took note of the phone in his hand providing the only light in their otherwise dark corner of the room. He brought his sword handle around from the side of his face, whipping the blade around in a long arc in front of his body. Adriana feigned a direct attack with her sword over her head as if she were chopping a log with an ax. He swung with enormous strength, but as she rushed at him, Adriana dropped to the ground and slid on the side of her leg like a baseball player aiming for home plate. His sword sliced through the air, missing the top of her head by mere inches. She cut hard with both hands on the handle and sent the sharp edge through Immelmans other wrist as he tried to twist out of the way. Okay. Bye. Excuse me, sorry, he said..
