Meet the Host (Loot Sisters #22)
My feet have barely touched the ceiling before I hear a loud pop. We fall, gravity abruptly restored, but Vera somehow casts a protection bubble. I bounce, rather than splat, my stomach churning.
The goblins are groaning, Erd cradling a broken arm.
“Well,” a honeyed voice says, “you could have joined the party instead of destroying it.” A demon with thick, golden ringlets and spiraling horns is standing across the room, the gold-sheathed nun between us.
Rach, single-minded as always, moves towards Erd, but I grab her wrist. “Don’t be suicidal.”
Akheron beams. “Are you all here for me?”
The 22nd installment of Loot Sisters, my dungeon crawler story. Written for The Prediction. This week’s challenge words were cast, ringlet, and suicide.
