Prologue

"You know what's going on; don't play the fool."

The young woman of nineteen tossed in her sleep, brownish- bronze eyes screwed tightly shut in an unconscious attempt to block the images.

"I'll beat her if you don't give it to me! Don't test me, Osaze!" A young woman shifted into a fighting stance and twisted the dagger she was holding outwards.

Sweat dripped onto the pillow of the girl's brow trailing the line of raven black hair. She flinched and shifted her left hand to grip the black and silver silk sheets.

"That's it. Hurry up, Osaze! Chant! Now, I know you know the incantation!" The older woman watched the teenager get to her place in front of the figurine and heirloom.

"Inter canem et lupum..."

She bent down on a knee...

"Coma... contego fidelis per fas..."

The dagger poised over her right palm...

"Ignis de barathrum..."

She sliced...

"Exorior nominatim, Osaze!"

She screamed...
