Chapter 34: Bee Assisted!
Metsaitti stopped the group as he noticed the shade.
“Get ready everyone. Pitkäsik will take the first shot, but we all need to be prepared if it doesn’t go down.”
The four following him nodded. The two spear-wielders took up positions by their leader, while the other two knocked arrows on their bows. One of them pulled back the bowstring as they took aim at the shade.
The arrow flew and struck the small shade in the side. It snarled and then rushed towards the group, barking as loud as it could. The archer fumbled her next arrow and dropped it to the ground, missing her chance for a follow-up shot. Metsaitti called out to the nearest spearman.
“Keisaq!”
The spearman gulped but hefted his weapon and stabbed forward as the shade leapt at them. His spear caught the beast right in the jaw. Metsaitti and the spearwoman also stabbed into the shade’s side a moment later.
It then vanished in a cloud of dispersing black mist.
Meanwhile, Belissar exhaled his breath as he watched through his Tower sight. He let the Flower Meadow queens know the situation had been handled for now. And then...words appeared before his eyes.
