Chapter 290

RISING HEAT FROM THE FURIOUS flames blew my hair back from my face even as I sat on centaur back several meters from the entrance to the engulfed village. Around us, now visible in the bright light of the flames, soldiers shouted to one another, Patel and the Rodhite Lieutenants ordered the Calvary to spread out around the village. Alek and the other men of the Griffon Guard all stood near the Lieutenants. The dancing flames caused life-like shadows everywhere and my energy expanded without a thought, the inferno singing through my elemental side. Eyes closed in bliss for a second, they snapped open in shock.

'KASS!' I shrieked above the sound of the flames.

ALEK TWISTED AT THE SCREAM spotting Kassie and Cat, both on centaur back staring at each other, their eyes shifting from human to Elemental. The soldier Alek rode hurried forward, allowing the brief conversation to reach them.

'There's something?' Cat demanded of Kass, who nodded.

'Yes.'

'Can you find it?'

'Give me a sec.'
