one, and he knew Grai’s ships could not do it alone.
“Scaden, send out the fighters! DO NOT let them shoot at the warships!” Ivint ordered through the comm, hoping that adding some of their own fighting force would end the battle quicker.
“Damn we’re glad you said that! We’ve been waiting for that order. Go, go, go!” Ivint heard Scaden order before he saw more than twenty Valendran small fighter craft pour out of the Adaria and begin engaging the oncoming ships.
Ivint almost smiled to himself when he realized his son had the ships and captains on standby, expecting him to order their engagement in the battle.
He noticed that the added ships were making a good dent in the oncoming ships when he saw the screen in front of the warehouse out of the corner of his eye.
The lens he kept on his head allowed him to see the dark ones that had flooded the area, their huge dark shapes towering over Grai, Balduen and the Tezarian’s.
Arrows flew through the air as if by silent command, and since they were beast bonded, the order had probably gone through the Shengari’, Ivint thought.
He watched as the dark shadows began to drop, the a rrows finding their mark. One of the dark shadows slid to the ground, clutching the arrow that protruded from what looked to be its upper thigh.
The glowing light in its eyes began to dim as it pulled the arrow out, it's dark skin rapidly becoming a dark-gray color. The lighter the skin became the more Ivint could see its terrible features. The long claw-like hands tipped with deadly talons; the large gaping mouth filled with what looked like several rows of teeth and a small indentation with holes where a nose should be.
It wore a ragged piece of cloth over its genital area, its body completely hairless from what he could see as it quickly mummified in front of his eyes. The salt must draw all the fluid out of its body; Ivint thought as he saw the dozens of bodies in the same condition scattered around the dock area of the warehouse.
Ivint couldn’t help but admire the fighting skill of the Relian leader’s son. He again stood several feet in front of the others, his swords flashing quickly through the air as he cut down the shadows that swarmed around him towards the others.
His body was covered in what looked to be cuts and slashes from the talons of the dark ones, the blood slowly dripping from some wounds and flowing freely from a few others.
Looking to the Tezarian’s and Balduen, he noticed that they seemed to be in much better shape than Grai. In fact, it looked more like Grai was the one fighting the hardest. Quickly scanning the scene, Ivint figured out what was wrong.
“They are targeting Grai! You have to help him!” Ivint ordered through the comm built into the headgear that Risk had electronically tied to the Valendran comm’s.
True to their nature, Balduen and the Tezarian’s had immediately thought to protect the women hybrids, leaving Grai to stand alone against the brunt of the dark ones swarming towards the warehouse.
Traze looked up in surprise and fear and realized the High Councilor was right. Grai was surrounded by at least a dozen dark ones while the Tezarian’s and Balduen battled that many between them and the hybrid women.
Jax and Reven flew out of the warehouse, using the lens, they bypassed the other battles and came to the side of Grai, both pulling their swords as they went.
Jax could swear she heard Grai sigh in relief when she, and Reven began engaging some of the figures swarming him. His brother Dagog must really want the poor guy dead to sic all the dark ones on him; Jax thought briefly before throwing herself into the battle with a grin.
