Blazing the Trail
“Even when I closed my eyes, I could see the ShadowEaters falling on that kid, surrounding him and killing him. It was just as horrible remembering it as witnessing it. He’d been swarmed and overcome.
I had to think that he had been convenient. I had to think that they’d be more interested in continuing the Mage plan of eliminating all shifters than in snacking on their own kind.
Come to think of it, every ceremony of the Mages seemed to involve a sacrifice. So, Adrian had called down the Shadow...Eaters and someone had to die to finish the ritual. The kid had been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe the ShadowEaters had done all the feasting they needed to do.
I had my doubts. I thought about the ShadowEaters leaping into the sky and disappearing. Like they’d run out of energy. Would they come after the shifters next?
But wait. Skuld said she was about the future. Had this happened already or not?
Was it going to happen—or was it just possible?
That calmed me down a little bit.MoreLess
