Shock of Success

Chadstone straightened up, blue eyes wide, though with horror or surprise he didn’t know. Ashoken and the shamans looked equally horrified when Dakshana lunged, plunged herself into the heart of the runefire. Minka only had time for an angry yell before the rope that joined her to Dakshana dragged her along. Srina wailed, a wounded rabbit, but then she too sank into the flames - and through them.

Chadstone shimmered into being in the next chamber and waited while the three girls lay on the stone floor, recovering from the shock of success.

Dakshana lifted her head and spotted him. “You.”
