Page 34 of Wings of The Wraith
“What happened to you?” I gasped.
“Don’t be scared child, this is my demon form.” Neo smiled. His skeleton face smiled. “It’s the only way I can save you guys.”
A wailing sound pierced my ears and I grabbed onto Dante’s shirt.
It came from the ugly gargoyle that sat across from Zeek.
We all focused on it.
“Going to the Shadowlands?” It said in that horrible voice I recognized from last night. “Now we know. See you soon.”
Balmora.It sounded like her. She was speaking to us through the gargoyle.
“Fucking spy.” Neo balked. “I knew something was off about that piece of shit.”
He raised his sword and hacked off it’s head. The blade of his sword lit up and turned the gargoyle to stone.
I was still grabbing on to Dante’s shirt, and I noticed he hadn’t said anything.
When I looked at him, I saw fear on his face.
He was looking outside, and I saw immediately why he looked like that.
What I thought were clouds, weren’t at all.
First, they looked like shadows but then I saw them properly. Their faces when they came into view were as grotesque as gargoyles, but they had the body of a man with wings attached to their backs. Wings like angels.
“Wraith demons.” Dante breathed.
