AZURE

Atesh dropped to his knees in a shudder.

He could not believe his eyes.

The Shadow Man opened his jaws and laughed.

‘‘Well, well, well. How grand to see you bending down on your knees before me.’’

How did he get end up back in Nightmare lane.

The last thing he remembered was being near the edge of a forest and a lake.

Then something, or someone, had knocked him in the back of his head.

He tried to toss a fireball from his mouth at the Shadow Man.

The Shadow Man wagged his finger back and forth.

‘‘Something tells me that will not work this time.’’

In the corner of the room, he felt another presence.

He shook from the sudden drop in the temperature.

‘‘Oh— Atesh I have friends from many places- and when one heard about you~ she was dying to take your breath away.’’

He could not see her, all he saw were a pair of azure eyes twinkling from the shadows.

The Shadow Man leaned down & pulled Atesh’s heart out of his chest, ‘‘What a powerful fiery heart.’’ With one gulp, it was lost in the Shadow Man’ belly.
