WWX: Lazarus [Extract 1]

First of a few little extracts from ‘Wild West Exodus: Lazarus’ – link in comments.

First up… the very impressive Loud Thunder of the Warrior Nation.

Bright, azure sparks began to stream from the warrior’s skin as he rode, leaving retina-scarring contrails in his wake until his flesh glowed with barely contained radiance. Then he opened his eyes, revealing smouldering pits of blue-white fire. Incredibly, impossibly, the big man leapt from his horse but continued to lead the charge, his huge stride pushing him ahead of the mounted host. Hamilton’s army raised their claws and blades to greet him.

There was a blinding flash at the point of impact and a dozen broken, ragged bodies were flung high into the air. Where the warrior had been was now a huge, spectral buffalo. It charged, ploughing through the shambling horde as though they were nothing more than toys. It crushed and rent, trampling everything in its path.

As it burst free of the first rank of creatures,
Willa realised that she and her companions were also in its path.

“Move,” she bellowed as the massive animal
bore down on them. “Move!”

The blue, ghostly form of the buffalo took more solid form as it passed and it lowered its head, great horns pointed at the shambling corpses that still advanced in the wake of the wild charge.
