| "A second sail moved swiftly upon the waves . . . They were doomed." |
The pirates were everywhere. They grew from the very sea and rose from the
spray and the mist. The fight was hot
and thick, even as the ocean shot up waves, and rain sliced down around the
combatants. Blood and water mixed so
that the planks became treacherous ground.
Not a few sailors found the deck too slick to stand upon, and slid over
the railing and into their doom.
Dami
smashed his short sword into a Cilician pirate’s face and spun to face a new
opponent. He bled from a half-dozen
small cuts. Nothing serious, and only a
few that would require needle and thread.
But they gave fire and pain to him and sucked at his strength like a
leech.
His
newest opponent was felled by a well-timed blow from a cudgel Dami captured sometime
during the fight. The man fairly tossed
it to him as Dami cut a deep gash into his neck and throat. He thanked Poseidon, Ares and any other gods
for the luck he’d been granted this day.
For
a moment, he was given a respite from the fight, and he took stock of his
men. It looked as if they would hold
their own, and the deck would be swept clean.
Already a few had managed to cut the grapples that kept Wavedancer a prisoner of the pirates’
faster, sleeker ship. Dami turned his
head to see if he couldn’t find Aeolus or Paetur in this mess, and said another
small prayer for his two friends and his other men.
Then
he cursed.
A
second sail moved swiftly upon the waves.
Its cut and sails matched it to the Cilician ship that held Wavedancer and his crew.
They were doomed.
You only have one more
day to pre-order Tears of Heaven
before the release!
