THE MOUNTAINS OF TIBET
Killian
Killian Adeche inhaled and felt a bizarre fizz as his Shifter healing power
fixed his lungs for the altitude with each breath. He checked the GPS
coordinates on his phone one more time. If he had done the calculations
correctly, the doorway to the long-lost Library of Alexandria was about half
a kilometer ahead. Unfortunately, it was also about two hundred meters
straight up.
He shivered as the creeping Tibetan wind, which was never entirely still
among these craggy gray boulders, crept under the edge of his jacket. He
wished that one of his packmates were with him. He had never had a pack
growing up, and he’d only been part of the Rejects Pack for fifteen years,
and yet, how quickly he’d become used to having someone watch his back.
He shook his head. The person he really wanted with him was Pellos. Quick
with a pistol, level-headed, and reliable as the sunrise, if Killian had
dreamed up a best friend in his youth, it would have been Pellos. But Pellos
was why he was doing this, and Killian knew that for this mission, Pellos
couldn’t be with him. Killian just hoped this wouldn’t turn out to be a wild
goose chase.
Before him, the mist parted slightly, and he froze mid-breath. A train of
six black-clad men in full face masks and oxygen tanks with guns slung on
their backs were hiking along the ridge, clearly making for the same point
as Killian. The one in front walked with a tall black staff. It was no hiking
stick.
“Warlocks,” growled Killian.
There was no way he would allow them to reach the Library at all, let
alone ahead of him. He pulled out his earbuds and rotated through his
playlists. He’d moved on from Gloria Gaynor. He had a pack now. He was
no longer just surviving. Killian watched the warlocks move up the trail and
tapped on Britney. It was time to get to work.
Killian sprang from his rock down to the path, trying to land lightly and
hoping that the constant wind would cover the sound of his approach. The
808 drum machines were starting to thump, and he ran forward, keeping
low until he was at the tail end of the trail of men. The first two went down
easy. Quick swats sent them tumbling down the path. The third one turned
and cast a slow-time spell, turning Killian’s movements slower than syrup.
In his ears, the song distorted until Britney sounded like a drunk on a street
corner, slurring out something about wanting a Bugatti. Killian took a flurry
of blows before he could get out a counterspell. The music sped back up
and reminded him that he’d better work, bitch. Killian grabbed a warlock
by the face, ripped off his oxygen mask, and kicked him down the trail.
Behind him, the hard ratchet of a gun being cocked was a sound that would
have raised his hackles if he currently had any. Killian turned to face the
next threat, already starting to transform and hoping they hadn’t coated the
bullets with anything poisonous.
A rock the size of a soccer ball slammed into the warlock’s head, startling
everyone.
