Tani, “Bring the one called Kelci.”
     
    Tani helped Kelci, releasing her binds and gag, but stopped cold when Thorlak’s tall warrior, Zekia, blocked her path. He thrust his hand in Tani’s hair while staring at Asta with murder in his eyes.
     
    “Since ye chose the one claiming status as Mistress, I demand the virgin for myself.”
     
    Protective instincts propelled Asta forward. She launched at Zekia but Thorlak caught her around the waist. Asta lashed out at the massive chief, screaming as Zekia twisted Tani’s hair in his grip. Thorlak let Asta beat at him while he moved with deadly purpose toward the warrior whose expression was suddenly cunning.
     
    “Your Mistress bitch wants to fight me. Let her, Thorlak, or do ye fear for her life?”
     
    Thorlak’s arms tighten around Asta, shutting off her air as he snapped, “ I fear nothing. ”
     
    She pushed at him, fighting for every breath as he continued toward the rogue warrior. When Thorlak suddenly released her, she sprawled gasping and coughing in the dirt. Thorlak’s curved blade landed in the dirt next to her.
     
    “Kill him or the virgin will be killed.”
     
    Tani shriek, “NO, Mistress!”
     
    Snatching the knife up, Asta rolled away a split second before Zekia attacked. She leapt onto the warrior’s back, locking her long legs around his waist, and grabbed his braided hair. Before she could bring Thorlak’s knife down, the tall warrior lunged backwards and sent them crashing to the ground.
     
    The breath left her but she managed to hold onto the curved knife. Drawing it downward, she partially scalped Zekia. Howling, he rolled away and slung his head. Seeing that she had sufficiently blinded him, she tossed the knife into her clean hand and rounded on him.
     
    His keen hearing, honed from many battles, alerted him to her footsteps. Kelci boldly leapt forward, providing much needed distraction. When Zekia spun toward Kelci, slashing wildly with his long blade, Asta attacked. Thorlak’s knife came down in his shoulder.
     
    Asta pulled the blade free and plunged again, riding him to the ground. So intent on stopping him, she did not know that Kelci had also fallen. Tani threw herself over her injured friend, screaming and begging for aid.
     
    Although wounded, Zekia was tough. He roared upward, throwing Asta off him. She slid to a stop at Thorlak’s feet, stunned and bloody from scrapes down her side. Zekia charged toward Tani, howling with rage.
     
    Asta fearlessly propelled herself toward Zekia, clicking her tongue in an ancient war cry. Admiration flooded Thorlak’s face. Before Asta could reach Zekia, Thorlak’s knife whizzed past her head and lodged in the warrior’s back. He fell hard in the dirt, inches from Tani.
     
    Asta dropped at the sight of Kelci holding her stomach while Tani sobbed over her. Shaking her head in denial, Asta threw herself on Zekia. Rage poured out of her. Zekia attempted to crawl away but his injuries were too extensive.
     
    “Bring the sage forth.”
     
    Having witnessed the battle, Thorlak’s warriors were ready. The elderly woman was shoved into the circle. Warriors picked the fallen Zekia up, looking to Thorlak when he said, “Get him out of my sight.”
     
    The elder told the massive chief what she needed to help Kelci. He hesitated, studying Asta’s form bent over her, and finally nodded. The remaining females were in various levels of shock. Many of the younger ones cowered behind the older.
     
    Thorlak barked at a warrior, “We have much to celebrate tonight. A new first lieutenant is in order. Take the females to the main cavern. Do not touch them. There will be no mating without my word.”
     
    Two young warriors picked Kelci up, ignoring the elder when she urged care. Asta and Tani started to follow them but Thorlak stopped Asta, “The sage saved ye. She will save her if she can. I need attending.”
     
    Thinking he meant sex, Asta’s chin thrust forward, “I submit to no man
