Chapter 15: That's a New Trick

Kohl

Kohl ducked under a low-hanging branch and raced deeper into the forest. The Tryn trampled the ground behind him. Hundreds...maybe more. Their black bodies covering the ground like hairy locust.

His breath lodged in his chest. At least the rest of my family is safe.

Kohl ducked under a low-hanging branch and raced deeper into the forest. He flew through the forest, dodging trees and boulders and Tryn. The Tryn trampled the ground behind him. Hundreds...maybe more. Their black bodies covered the ground like hairy locusts.

His breath lodged in his chest. At least the rest of my family is safe. He had to reach the clearing before they closed in on him.

A crash boomed to his left and he glanced behind him. The weight of all the Tryn brought a dead tree to the ground. Even that didn't slow the creatures. Their fur-covered black hides and puny leather wings blurred together among their masses.
