To Yours

Andrev considered her request. As an experiment, he held his breath, focused, and he was pleased when he felt the ground shake again. He could control it. Good. Maybe a bit of practice would sharpen the skill - and make the others keep their distance.

“I will let you live,” he said finally, and he saw Kir’s grip on his spear tighten. “Make no mistake, however, that I am letting you live. I could end you all at a moment’s notice.”

The hunters bobbed their heads.

“Good,” Andrev said. “Then leave me to my peace, and I’ll leave you to yours.”
