Chapter 48: Acheron's Gift

In the Land of the Damned…

Althea was hot on Kangee's tail, brandishing a plastic broom. "Get back here you stupid bird! I'll report you to your master! How dare you defile my dress with your filthy droppings? Apologize for your actions this instant before I turn you into a roasted snack!"

Kangee cawed mockingly, leading Althea on a wild chase up and down the stairs in the shadowspire. Revana, who was getting pissed listening to Althea's neverending ranting finally intervened. She strode over, snatching the broom from Althea's grasp in a way that caught her off guard.

With a deft leap, Revana jumped onto the railing and used Kangee's momentary shock to land a perfect hit with the broom. The raven let out a startled squawk as it hit the wall, finally coming to rest on the floor with stars swirling in circles around its head.

Althea's eyes sparkled with delight, her face lighting up with gratitude towards her sister for aiding her get back at Kangee.
