The Hungry Dark- Chapter 10

Willow left his Wyvern and rode Timber. Sean was on Nightshade’s back. They crept nearer and nearer to the trench.

“Time’s up, boys.” Yulock stepped out of a bush. Behind him stood a Karkinos.

“Face me and my crab. I want your blood on my sword. I want you to die by my hand. He took out a sword and beckoned to his Karkinos, who came charging at them. Sean and Nightshade Bit hard at a leg, but the crab dismounted him and threw him into a pile of rocks, knocking him unconscious. Willow had to do it himself. It took a long time, but finally the Karkinos fell. Both Timber and Nightshade were knocked out. Only Sean, Willow and Yulock remained.

“You die here.” Yulock snarled. He took out his sword. Nightshade had other plans. She woke up hungry. She saw Yulock run at Sean. She acted.

Nightshade hit Yulock’s spine, crushing it. She bit his head and flung his bloodied body down next to Sean. Yulock was dead.

But the threat wasn’t over yet.
