tentacles writhed as the warrior danced away from their twitching grasp.
Emily and Ozzie pried the babies apart and pushed them through one by one.
“Keep that portal open, no matter what!” Emily instructed the dragonflies.
Lyra leaped into the air, her shimmering wings flaring open. Razor claws ripped away the tentacles reaching for the unicorns.
Kara stepped forward, pointing her glowing unicorn jewel at the creature. A flare of white light shot straight up, slamming the cave ceiling, sending rocks flying. The blond girl stumbled back, face flushed.
The creature lunged, trying to swallow the unicorns whole.
Adriane struck again, wolf fire hammering the monster’s head, forcing its snapping jaws away from the portal.
“Lyra, get everyone through!” Adriane yelled. “We’re right behind you. Move!”
Ozzie and Tweek crammed the last two frightened unicorns through the portal and raced in. Nosing Kara and Emily through, Lyra leaped and disappeared.
“Dreamer!” Adriane looked around frantically. “Where are you?”
“Packmate! Go!”
Dreamer stood in solid wolf form right in front of the monster.
The thing swung its massive head, mouth gaping.
Moving with lightning speed, Adriane raced past the creature and shoved Dreamer into the portal. The dragonflies squealed as the warrior dove through.
Shrieking, the monster charged in after them.
A DRIANE AND DREAMER tumbled onto the barn floor, the monster’s foul breath hot on their backs.
Needle teeth gnashing, the creature thrashed its head through the portal.
The warrior rolled into a fighting stance, crossing her wrists in front of her face. “Dreamer, behind me!” she commanded as wolf fire surged from her jewel.
“ GrEEP!”
“Hide me!”
“Snoooop!”
“Run away!”
The unicorns scrambled through the barn, diving into stalls. Horses neighed, surprised by their visitors, as Lyra nosed the stragglers out of harm’s way.
Adriane swung her fists, firing a blast of magic.
With a fierce growl, Dreamer leaped at the monster—right in the path of the bolt.
“No!” Adriane wrenched the magic away. Light arced wildly, wrapping the warrior in sparking golden fire.
The monster lunged, closing its massive jaws completely around Dreamer.
Zzzzap!
In a brilliant flash, the portal vanished, severing the gruesome head. Slime-covered skin and twisting eyes morphed into a pile of green guck that splattered to the floor. Unharmed, Dreamer shook drops of goo from his fur.
Five dragonflies peered from a floating bubble. “Pee-yuck.”
“Good job, guys!” Kara called out.
“Get off me, Ralfie!” Dante complained, crawling out of a stall.
“Where are we?” Ralfie asked, bits of hay stuck to his forelock.
“It’s okay, you’re safe now,” Emily said, sending a wave of calming magic over the frightened horses that currently occupied the stalls. She quickly shut the barn door before Electra could stumble outside.
Ozzie ran about, herding the unicorns into the empty stalls.
Adriane picked sticky muck out of Dreamer’s fur. “You have to learn to listen to me! Next time we might not be so lucky.”
Dreamer’s eyes were downcast.
Gently, Adriane raised Dreamer’s head, looking deep into his emerald eyes.
“Packmate.”
“Yes.” Adriane hugged the wolf close. “What would I do if I lost you?”
“Looks like my grandma’s creamed spinach.” Kara wrinkled her nose at the gob of goo splattered across the floor. “What was that thing?”
“Elemental, my dear mage.” Tweek plucked something from the guck. “A prickly pear needle, I believe.”
“So it was what, a cactipede?” Kara asked.
“All this magic isn’t supposed to be on Earth,” Tweek fretted, wringing his crackling twig hands as he looked at the unicorns.
“We have to get to Dalriada,” Riannan demanded, stamping her feet.
The others squeaked and tooted like a broken carousel.
“Okay, everyone settle down,” Emily said, herding Snowflake and Pollo
