Right Back At You

Hunters swarmed out of the tallgrass, ululating into the night, spears whistling through the air. Andrev leapt at Kana and knocked her down, shielded her body with his. Wolf-snarls broke over the din above him, and then Rastaban tugged on him.

“Come on - we have to get out of here!”

Andrev dared to lift his head. He saw Dalinor encircled by hunters. Their spears dripped with blood. Dalinor was limping.

“We have to stop them,” Andrev said. “They’ll kill him.”

“And they’ll kill you right back,” Rastaban said. “We have to run. Now!”

“But - the other Wanderers,” Kana began.
