The sightless eyes of its enormous skull leveled at them, the demon tensed, ready to spring. Kairn pulled Shamino close with one hand while the other fumbled with the blade sheathed at his hip.

Sethan’s eyes slid to the boy. A smile spread across his lips and Kairn clutched him closer still. “Hello, Shamino.”
