Excerpt:
Night surrounded her. She drifted,
a mere wisp on the wind, tumultuous thoughts causing the mist to darken to a
cloudy grey. He was after her and if she didn’t find a host body soon, her
destruction was imminent. Only in corporeal form would she have the ability to
elude him, to mask her presence. Weakened as she was, she was vulnerable,
easily overcome. She stifled a sob, struggling to maintain her veil of silence.
What
did she know of him? Rumors abounded with his legendary skills and
determination. He was relentless, too experienced.
Too determined to end my existence! Weary
and distraught, she settled to the ground seeking a place to hide—to build up
her flagging energy reserves for the next leg of flight. It would’ve been
better to find an energy source but if he was as gifted as she’d been led to
believe, he’d detect the transference and strike.
Why is he after me? I’m not a destroyer.
I don’t harm anyone? Why me? No rational
explanations existed for the unanswered questions.
Leaves
rustled overhead causing her to cringe in fear, the tendrils of mist darkening
to black. Mentally damning his formidable strength, she sent out miniscule
feelers seeking his aura, careful not to delve too deeply lest he perceive her
intrusion. What was he after?
I’m
so afraid! There were so few of her kind left, so few to carry on. Devastated
by failing energy resources and the lack of healthy breeders, the clan was on
the verge of extinction. But I don’t
deserve to die! I’m nothing, too insignificant to warrant the attention of
such a fearsome and ancient being.
Kadin was far too powerful to covet
her meager essence, but if legend could be believed, he was one who slaughtered
his own.
