Twenty-four

Cassie stared up at Nigrade, the old orc’s sword falling useless to the ground at his feet. He was staring at the majority of a broadsword shoved through his chest, neatly severing arteries in his neck and shattering bone. Mardruk, his eyes bright with rage, pulled his sword free, and let Nigrade fall. His eyes were focused on the old orc’s, and Mardruk suddenly jerked. Aljei rose behind Cassie, his eyes focused on Mardruk. He saw Nigrade smile, just before the life left him.
“Girl,” Aljei whispered to Cassie, “if you ever loved him, you’ll fight for him now.”
Cassie jerked to face Aljei. “What do you mean?” But the ancient elf never had a chance to answer, for Mardruk suddenly attacked, his violet eyes a deeper hue of red-purple. Cassie threw herself out of the berserk orc’s path and watched him attack Aljei with a viciousness that scared her. “Wh-what happened?!” Cassie yelled. No one answered.
Aljei and Mardruk were evenly matched with the blade. Mardruk was far more wounded, but Aljei was far more exhausted. He wasn’t able to use a spell, for Mardruk kept pressing, his berserker strength giving him the edge. Cassie looked toward Nigrade, the old orc’s smile taunting her. They had trusted him, and he’d intended to kill them all with treachery. Of course, Aljei had intended to kill them as well, but at least he’d been HONEST about it!
She looked around her for help. Nolay was helping Serasin, Peritali was trying to heal Tyr, and Chairon and Raichlos were trying to recover as well, the sin’dorei’s eyes glowing green.
Cassie’s thoughts stuttered to a halt.
Chairon’s eyes were green, but they had never glowed. The rogue had stayed away from arcane magic, not wanting to be tainted, to become dependent on it. But his eyes were glowing now, which meant he must’ve absorbed some of Aljei’s backlash.
Cassie looked back to Nigrade and cursed him as she got to her feet. Mardruk had never experienced the powers of the arcane. Never felt what it was like to have the power of the Fel in his blood. Like Thrall’s blue eyes proclaimed he would change the world, Mardruk’s violet eyes proclaimed a deeper, more destructive power, if the Fel ever touched him. Nigrade had recognized that. Used that.
Cassie wished she could kill that son of a whoring bitch again.
She tried to hurry, watching Aljei slow down and Mardruk only speed up. Then Aljei’s blade was knocked clear from his grip and Mardruk’s broadsword opened up a harsh wound in the elf’s side. Aljei fell to the ground, helpless. Mardruk raised his sword to impale the elf, missed, and tried again.
Cassie launched herself at that sword arm, wrapping her arms around the thickly muscled appendage. His eyes focused on her, his free hand came across to crush her, to tear her away and fling her fragile body across the clearing. She reached up and her smaller hand met his.
“Mardruk!” she cried. “Mardruk, please! It’s Cassie! Don’t you remember me? Don’t you remember that I love you?”
Mardruk’s powerful fingers closed around her hand. He could destroy her if he desired, she knew, and no one could stop him. She focused on his eyes, feeling her own fill with tears. “Mardruk,” Cassie pleaded, “please. Please remember me.”
It was like the world was holding its breath, there in that clearing, as Mardruk struggled with himself. Nigrade’s influence was telling him to crush the female, to destroy her because she was human. Humans killed and murdered without regard. She would destroy him one day. But her eyes were the eyes of a gentle soul, full of love and fear. She was crying. She was afraid, afraid of him. Cassie didn’t have to fear him, did she?
Mardruk felt the arcane flowing in his blood, the ugly presence of Nigrade’s hatred and power. He hated the power – he wasn’t born to be in control of power like this! He was a warrior! He was supposed to protect his home, his family – CASSIE – not kill!
Mardruk let out a bellow and fell to his knees, throwing his arms around Cassie and burying his face in her hair. He breathed deep, her scent driving away the berserker lurking in his blood. But he didn’t stay like that with her for long.
Aljei still lived, after all.
Mardruk felt the arcane power drain from his body, felt it coil around Aljei. He struggled up, taking hold of his sword again. Aljei watched him, an odd triumphant smile playing on his lips.
“What are you so happy about?” asked Mardruk.
Aljei smiled, lifeless eyes meeting the orc’s. “I win.”
Mardruk lifted his sword and brought it down on the soft flesh of Aljei’s neck, watched as the stolen body disintegrated into rocks and grasses, the arcane power released into the land.
He turned then, looked at Cassie and his friends. He dropped his blade then, disgusted with it. He wrapped his arms around Cassie. “Let’s go home.”
No one argued with him as he led the way back to Ratchet, for they, too, wanted to go home.
As for Nigrade, they left him where he lay to be picked on by crows. None of them looked back, focused ahead of them.
Home waited for them all.
