He stood alone. Eopphus lurched in every direction, but there was no one else to challenge him. He was the end, the last survivor, the ultimate victor. Eopphus let out a hysterical chuckle and lurched toward the tallest stack of bodies.

Frank whistled. “For that much, they’ll get every hunter in Africa.”
“They want everyone they can get. It’s bad, Frank.”
Frank pushed himself back in his chair. “How bad?”
“Sixteen kills in the past week.”
Frank’s eyes widened. “How many human dead?”
“That is human dead.”

“That isn't natural. If magma pushes up to the surface, it’s under tremendous pressure, and when it reaches the surface it will be released as energy.” When Stella’s brow furrowed, he added, “You shouldn’t have a crack with magma at the bottom, you should have a new volcano.”

Urtemus kept his grip as he pushed Breka ahead of him down the corridor. “I’d be very careful with that tongue if I were you. Your next mate won’t like it if he has to marry you and kill you on the same day.”
Breka flinched against his grip. “Your concern is touching.”

Stella groped for the guns next to her, but no, shooting back would only waste ammunition and put more people in danger. And the street wasn’t wide enough to maneuver either. She hunched as low as she could and hoped as a spiderweb crack spread across the windshield.

The man spun, and Luke patted him down. Luke didn’t expect a gun, but he hoped for one of the big scalpels, a clincher for the trial. His expert fingers identified a wallet, keys, a notepad, and a handkerchief, but no weapons. “Mister Earl Leaville?”

The face on the coin was a man’s, puffy-faced with a fat chin and a cap of leaves on his head. Not English, maybe Spanish? Was the fake guard a Spanish spy? But Jerome knew, or rather hoped, that no spy would be so hopelessly stupid that he’d waste his time at this spot.

The flare burst to life and slammed into the giant’s rear knee. The leg folded, and the giant’s back crashed against the ground, scattering snow everywhere.
But it crashed like a man, not an elephant, and there were no welcome sounds of shattering bones and death.

Jerome took off his hat. “Is Master Laken at home, madam?”
“Yes, sir.” Her voice was like delicate ice.
“I’m Master Jerome Street, of the royal guard.” He glanced down at his guard livery, “But I expect you knew that. I need to see him.”
“Come in. Welcome, Master Street.”

Hey, magas who are furious about the Qatari Airbase!
donald trump did this. He did it without hesitating. He did it without THINKING. Because he has no principles, least of all yours. To him, you were never anything more than a means to his own selfish ends.

It had sturdy bones, huge tusks, the elegant limbs most orcs lacked. It was a prize specimen. Rather, it had been, back ages ago, when it was alive. Now the flesh was long dust, the bones had become brittle, and only the dimly glowing shape in its ribcage spoke of life.
