Whatever You're Willing to Pay

Dakshana wished she still had that impromptu spear she’d picked up earlier, but she knew that no mortal weapons would serve against Chadstone - if that was even his name. He was beyond human, and he had metal weapons. Nothing she had could possibly harm him.

“Dakshana, what’s going on?” Srina asked.

Minka clutched at her shoulder. “We’re in trouble.”

Dakshana ignored Srina’s plaintive whimper - she needed a plan, and fast. First she needed information. “Freedom? At what price?”

Chadstone’s smile was heartbreakingly beautiful - and absolutely terrifying. “Whatever you’re willing to pay.”

Dakshana nodded. “Minka, Srina, we’re going into the maze.”
