Ruby Shadows
“The denizens of one circle are generally unable to cross to another. Of course, there are a few notable exceptions such as myself and the tenacious HellSpawn I was certain was still following Gwendolyn’s scent.
I had felt something as we left the second circle and entered the third—nothing of great consequence but it still gave me pause. It was a vague sensation that we were not alone. That more than just Gwendolyn and Kurex and myself had passed through into the next circle. I looked carefully... to be certain the HellSpawn had not crossed the barrier with us. This would have been the perfect time to attack—when we were disorganized and on the run. To my relief, I saw nothing.
But my relief was short lived. When I looked back at Gwendolyn, she was clinging to Kurex as though her life depended on it and watching me with wide, haunted eyes. Inwardly, I sighed. I hated that she’d had to see so much carnage—especially with me as the cause of it. My dragon form seemed to have bothered her much more than I had thought it would.MoreLess
