A knife glittered into the creature’s hands. It slashed downward onto the slab of crystal. The sound of breaking rang in the air. A shard of crystal chipped off the slab. Chadstone’s body jerked upward, spine arching, and Dakshana felt something rip out of him.
She screamed. “No!”
The creature advanced. Across the cave, a shard of crystal glittered. Dakshana lunged across the floor on all fours, scooped it up. It was intact, engraved with runes. A word. A name. His name.
Dakshana crawled back over to Chadstone’s body. The creature raised its knife once more. Dakshana brandished her shard.
