The White Fox (2011)
“All the black cloaks turned, searching for the source of the blast.
A moment later, a second shot exploded out of the gloom, narrowly missing another figure. The shock wave blasted her hood off—a dark-haired woman with sagging skin. Then another, which knocked the legs out from under a man to her right. The group abandoned their positions at the pit and drew closer around their leader. The purple light had faded from the moon.
Jack twisted his head and squinted into the dark. Out of the shadows..., more figures appeared to be advancing up the hill from all sides. With no moonlight, they were semi-spectral, but a momentary flash of lightning silhouetted several against the obsidian sky. They were not swathed in ethereal cloaks, but one had some kind of rifle or heavy gun hoisted over its shoulder. In that moment, another threw out their arm, and a flash of crimson light burst out of it, spinning through the air like a throwing dagger and striking a heavily built black cloak in the shoulder.MoreLess
