Blythe's Vengeance
Issue #3 (May 2008)
As we turned a corner the horses balked, refusing to take another step forward. The charred city gates of Ronand loomed in front of us, the main door just dangling from its hinges. I dismounted and ran a hand through my earthen brown hair. The stench of burnt wood and decaying flesh assaulted my nose and I gagged, turning away. Gaylan was still on his horse. His black hair was pulled tightly back and his eyes glittered like the purest sapphire, filled with shock and anger. I walked over to him and put a hand on his thigh.
“He will die for this,” I promised him.
“Yes,” Gaylan growled, a bit of his dragon half entering his voice. “Yes he will, Blythe.”
