Zephyr was fine to talk about Ascendancy. It made Grym want to check over her shoulder like the man might spontaneously appear. She’d been right to be afraid to encounter a group of gods in the tunnels.
“One of them was told to kill us,” she added to the story. “But he led us out of sight and told us to run. Why would he do that?” she explained with a frown. Grym had no illusion that the fakery was in the goodness of his heart, but she didn’t understand the motivation.
The scientist had a lot of information about the creatures. Chupacabra weren’t common in this part of the world. Grym hadn’t killed one in ages. “Does that mean Durante is still submitting reports to the Atharim?”
And she insisted on getting Nox in alive. Grym shook her head. “Thanks for the payment, but no can do on the boy. They’re too dangerous to keep alive. If you’d seen what we have seen, you’d agree.”
