.Blood rained down, a horrific storm of shell andguts.He became madness.Halfway down the street, another merciful wind scattered the rest of the spiders, clearing the wayfor them.Balin turned to Damir as he caught up.Relief swept over Damir. Øyavind? Balin asked. Getting Israel, Damir said.They turned, watching the stampede of spiders.Damir s arms quivered with exertion, but he heldhis ground and braced himself for impact.Tamesis stumbled backward, crushing the helpless bodiesof her children beneath her claws.A tall tower crumbled beneath the weight of Tamesis s body, stoneand bamboo falling into the sea and onto the bridge.Balin dropped his sword as he shoved Damir out of the way and slid across the rough stoneground.Damir scrambled to his feet, power careening up his glowing body, an uncontrollable forcethat erupted once more in an inferno.He dropped his blade-bow as a wall of fire spewed from hishands and devoured the first flood of spiders.Damir groaned at the pain that seared down his arms.The heady rush of power left him woozy,and he could feel himself slipping.Balin caught Damir as he began to collapse, shouting to Zephyr, Take him and get out of here! AND WHERE ARE you going? Zephyr growled as he took Damir.Balin could taste the acridbite of panic and looked at the sword that had been knocked from the statue s grip.He picked up thenew sword and shouted,  To finish this!He climbed the fallen side of the building, his fingers scraping against the rough rock.Israelcried as Tamesis pierced his side, lashing out with his talons.He managed to hook her belly, rippingout a chunk.A crack of lightning shot from the sky, absorbed into Tamesis s hard exterior.With a hissshe reared forward just as Israel summoned a final gale.Balin grabbed on to the stone as the wind blasted him, struggling to keep his purchase.He pulledhimself onto the ledge as Tamesis crashed backward, landing on her back with her legs kicking out.Balin ran forward, pushed off the edge of the building, and launched himself over the side, his swordgripped tightly in his hand, blade pointed down.He drew it up as he arced, then slammed it down intoTamesis s exposed cephalothorax.He dragged the sword down, cutting a deep line to her pedicel.A stench wafted from her, themusk of rotted flesh and bone.He jerked the sword out just as she began to flip over.He was thrown off.He hit the ground and broke into a sprint.Israel released a powerful bolt of lightning that tore open the gouge in her stomach.Balin wascaught in the explosion, which pitched him over the side of the bridge.Tamesis let out a shrill screechthat was cut short.A concussion of power whooshed from her disintegrating body, extending out overthe sea and jungle.Smoke rose from the city as the spiderwebs dissolved into shimmering dust.Balin surfaced in the water and watched as Myrm was revived.One by one, bodies collapsed ontothe ground, coughing out the toxic fumes from their lungs and breathing in the fresh, salty air.Damirpushed away from Zephyr, his body weak, and crawled to the edge of the bridge.With Zephyr s help,he pulled Balin out of the water. Are you okay? Damir asked.Balin nodded and turned to Tamesis.He watched as the last of her blew away in the breeze.Øyavind cautiously approached, crouching to pick up the forgotten sword Balin had chosen from thestatue he d been standing by.He held the weapon out to Balin, hilt first.Balin took the sword. Arethere any left? No, and Myrm returns to normal, or as normal as we will be after this, Øyavind said, lookingover Myrm with a heavy sadness in his eyes.Damir rested his forehead on Balin s damp shoulder.Zephyr pushed to his feet and brushed pastØyavind, running over to Israel s motionless form.He had transformed back while Tamesis returnedto the darkness, and lay in the street naked. There is much still to do, but we can handle it.Please, come with me so you can rest, Øyavindsaid, looking down at Balin. What of everyone else? Damir asked as he struggled to his feet. We cannot leave them here,not when there is so much destruction and death.Take Zephyr and Israel to rest.We ll help out here.Balin stood, steadying Damir as he swayed. You will be of no help to anyone, not when a sighcould knock you down. I cannot ask more from you, Øyavind said. Please, let me show you to some rooms.Damir looked to Balin, mouth open.He snapped it shut with a frown when Balin shook his head.Øyavind turned to the fallen statue of one of the Great Kings and climbed his broken body.Against the late afternoon sun, with his clothes torn and his circlet lost, Øyavind stood proud.Heraised his hands high and shouted to his fellow elvenfolk,  My brothers and sisters, we have wokenafter a long sleep to find our city ravaged.In a single night, when the winds blew colder than ice andhowled like a pack of ravenous wolves, we fell prey to an evil that Zoria has only whispered about.But despite this, we have awakened, and we will rebuild.This is our home, and it has not beenforgotten.One by one, the elves of Myrm turned, listening as their prince spoke.Damir clutched Balin sarm, leaning heavily on him.Balin kept a tight grip on Damir, his heart a painful knot in his chest [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
