Rough and Tumble, Chapter 156: Tampering
Chapter 156: Tampering
“Simple ploys. Careless boys.”
Blight’s sing-song chant drifted like a fitful breeze. A puff here, a gust there. Impossible to pin down. But Ethan gave chase, jaw clenched, sword ready.
“Broken toys. Funny noise.”
Even from here, on the fringes of the orchard behind the machine shed, the Guardian could hear his charge’s sobs. Zeke was suffering. Lucan feared a break. Conrad warned of stitches. “You!” Ethan shouted, tumultuous emotions causing his voice to crack. “You are responsible! I know it was you!”
A hiss of laughter trickled down the young warrior’s spine. “What the Faithful enjoys, the Fallen destroys!”
