I kept moving, and my jaw dropped. That was definitely not an Atlan, or anything I would consider human. Human-ish, maybe? Except its head was too long. Its fingertips ended in long claws that looked sharp enough to slice silk, and its eyes were an odd color. What was that color? Key lime green? Like the pie? “Cormac?”
ThatnotHe was at my side at once. “Gods be damned. How the f**k did they find you?”
The creature lifted its head to look at us and then rose from the floor to a standing position. He wore pants that had been ripped above his knees and nothing else. Cords of muscle that looked like twisted ropes covered every inch of his body. His chest was massive, his thighs bigger around than my hips. He was just as big as the Atlans, but he had fangs longer than Cormac’s. Sharper, too.
