Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 80 - Kiema
An odd glow began in my chest, almost as if someone had hugged my heart. I shifted against Taryk's cat. He huffed at me as if I'd irritated him. I rubbed a hand down his tail again."Will I get to meet Anda?" I asked Tenny/Saint."I do not see why not. But that would be a question for the goddess you host. You should be able to talk to her.""I saw her in our spirit plane, honey," Saint said as their eyes changed to show who was speaking. "I think she is the form you take when in the spirit world. She's also probably the one who's been helping you with healing and magic."I nodded. "That makes sense. It makes more sense than me having all this magic for no apparent reason.""Do not belittle your own massive gifts, Mate. To house one such as Anda, your natural born magic must have been quite high. She could not share space with a weak host. Her magic would have destroyed your body if you were unable to shelter her," Tenny/Saint said."You're the only one who has been inside
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 81 - Xander
I moved around the island, kneeing Atlas' wolf form out of the way so I could stand by Kiema. Setting my hand on her shoulder, I tried to relax and will my tiger out.Nothing happened. Although I hadn't really expected it to, it was still a disappointment when it didn't work.Ten/Saint smiled at me. "Think of your tiger. He will be located somewhere in your body. Typically, I've been told, spirit animals feel either like a cozy cage or like a deep pit. You've always known this was in your body, you've just never had a way to access it. When your tiger pulled from your physical form the first time, it would have felt like a void of some kind. Made you itchy or uncomfortable even if you might not have recognized it as such at the time."I knew exactly what he was talking about. And he was right, I'd felt it my entire life. It felt like sticky gossamer threads that encased my whole being."Okay. I got it.""Close your eyes."I did so. I swear I could feel my tiger looking back
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 82 - Kiema
I could feel them, but I couldn't see anyone. It felt like, if I were a big room, someone was moving furniture around inside me. I felt furniture feet scraping over my belly. The nudge of something brushing against my chest, like a tall armoire just brushing the ceiling."Saint?"No answer."Xander?"No answer.I looked around the gray monotony of my landscape. It was as boring and comforting as an old blanket. I know Ten had wanted to check my magic, but I'd thought I'd get to be part of that exploration.I tried to find the fiery thread that marked me as a Spirit user. There was nothing here but the regular gray of the healing world I usually saw.I don't know how long I hung out in this place, but after a while I saw something shift, a subtle but definite movement. It was so far away I doubted my eyes for the briefest seconds. When it happened again, I knew I wasn't making things up in my boredom.The gray around me erupted into bright, startling color. I saw the for

I ripped Ten through whatever magic continuum we were in and landed us back in Xander's room.Ransom had Kiema's limp body cradled in his arms. The look in his dark blue eyes slayed me. I was just glad he was carrying our Kiema. If his hands had been free, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead. Or at least badly damaged."Your floor. Now." He stepped past me, his face hard, closed off."Oooo, Saint's about to catch it," Asher said as if we were back in high school and I got called to the principal's office.I pushed him as I followed after my brother and mate. I couldn't help the drop in my belly. Maybe Asher wasn't so far off the mark, because I felt like I was on my way to the principal's office.I climbed the stairs, unwilling to wait for the elevator to drop Ransom and Kiema off before coming back down to get me. Pushing through the stairwell door to my fifth-floor home, I took a deep breath. I still don't know what happened in Kiema's spiritual landscape, but I was about to catch
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 84 - Taryk
I tipped back against the wall on the opposite side of the Hold. I remembered when we'd dubbed the cell as the Hold. Good times. My government had decided I was too wicked to play with anymore. Suited me down to the fucking ground. My current prisoner was held against the floor under a net of electromagnets. He wouldn't be going anywhere. Unless I wanted him to."Hello, Juan. Imagine my delighted surprise when I came back to my place to learn that you had been beaten unconscious by the woman you yourself had beaten." A muffled groan was my reply.I leaned forward, hand cupped around my ear. "What was that? I didn't quite catch it.""'m gon kill at itch."His lips were so swollen his words were mangled.I tipped my head back, belly laughing until my cheeks ached. "Oh, Juan. You jokester, you. You're going to tell me exactly what I want to know, then I'll heal you. You'll be allowed to go on your merry way."He looked at me through swollen lids. The barest slit of bloods
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 85 - Atlas
"Again, you pansy-assed healer. Kiema can dance rings around you," Lukas sneered as I attempted to shift from wolf to man and back again as quickly as possible.I snarled at him, the sound carrying from human to wolf form. I leapt at him. As soon as he touched his hand to my fur, I fell to the ground, a gasping, wheezing human once more."Fucker," I said, my face smashed into the mat of the workout area in our labs."Now my feelings are hurt, mate." He nudged me with his foot.Quick as a snake, I grabbed his foot and tugged him down, wrestled him under my body. Unprepared for the physical attack, he was slow to react. I had him in a headlock before he could gasp for his next breath."What was that, Lukas? Sorry, I can't hear you." I wrenched my arm closer against his throat.A garbled noise was his only reply. He scratched frantically at my arms.I pushed the pain away like they were small annoying bugs biting at my flesh. "Bitch, that doesn't even hurt."He gurgled.
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 86 - Asher
Oh no, don't worry. You just need to feed everyone brunch. It can be whatever you have on hand, Ash. We're not nearly as picky as you are.I snorted as I scavenged my fridge and pantry. "The heathens wouldn't know a good meal if it bit them on the asses."Looks like we're having omelets, bacon, toast, fruit, and bagels.I looked up from the skillet as the elevator door opened, admitting my first diners for the day."Ki-Ki, Ransom, grab an apron if you want. You're on kitchen duty.""Damn it," Ransom said softly.I smirked when I heard him say, "oof. What? He's a demon when it comes to cooking. Let's go back upstairs and I'll eat something much better than he can serve. I promise you'll like it more, too."The sound of flesh hitting flesh had my smirk widening into a full-blown smile. "That's right, Ki-Ki. Don't let him drag you off for more ravishing. You deserve nourishment and sustenance.""Oh please, if you were into my angel the way you wanted to be, she would have
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 87 - Ransom
"What the fuck?" I asked, my arm sliding around Kiema's shoulders."I'm not sure I heard you right. I'm going to join some gods and/or goddesses who want to destroy humanity?" She leaned forward, her body almost vibrating.Ten/Saint nodded. "That is what the book seems to be saying.""Is that what Anda could have meant in the spirit landscape? About Kiema being bigger and more powerful than we knew or understood?" Xander asked, his expression pinched."And what would make me decide to join these deities?" Kiema asked before Ten/Saint could answer Xander. "Were they there when I was being beaten or tortured? When my life was nothing but a shell for my parents' use? They can go fuck themselves. I'm not helping them do anything."She sat back, arms crossed over her heaving chest.We all sat there, silent in the aftermath of her rage."Ki-Ki's out, I'm out," Asher said as he echoed her posture."I agree with Kiema and Asher. However, we still need to know what the book says
