I turned around just in time to see another demon heading toward me, clutching a long dagger in his right hand. There was still fighting and I could hear the sounds of battle coming from beyond the hills in the north. In the distance I could see the flames, their smoke turning the air into a thick haze that carried the stench of burning flesh. Corpses littered the field, demons and mortals alike. I surveyed the battleground on which I stood. Well, who’s laughing now? Never underestimate a pissed-off girl with a sword.

I looked over to where the rest of his corpse lay, arms outstretched, the right hand still clutching the curved scimitar with which he had planned to finish me off. The demon’s eyes were wide open, staring up at me in surprise as blood dripped from my sword and pooled at my feet around his severed head.
