Game for All

“Watch? Why?” Dakshana asked. Maybe she could distract the thing and buy some time for herself and Minka. Could they escape? Fight?

“You mortals are so...entertaining,” the voice said. “So innocent and weak, and yet so spirited - you fight even when it’s futile, and you squirm so prettily.”

Dakshana swallowed the bile that had risen in her throat.

“I thought this game was Chadstone’s - and you’re not Chadstone,” Minka said.

“I am just like him. I am a Shadow, same as he - but I am older. Wiser. And stronger.”

“This is a game to all of you?” Dakshana demanded.
