Human Ashes

Chadstone rocked back on his heels, curious to hear Dakshana’s answer.

“I’m just a witness of the atrocities you commit in your search for unholy power,” she said, and Chadstone recoiled. Even though her words weren’t directed at him, her venom was unmistakable.

Ashoken laughed. “So you’ve discovered my sordid secret, my pact with the gods of the shadows. Too bad for you then - you must suffer the same fate as the last pathetic souls who knew.” He stirred human ashes with the toe of his shoe.


Dakshana lunged.

Ashoken flicked his wrist, strengthened the fire. “Who’s first, my ladies?”
