Of Bone And Flesh And Fear

Of Bone And Flesh And Fear is the forty-eighth chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Valon flees the shifters behind him, obeying the commands of the voice that demands him to flee the temple. He can hear them in pursuit as they burst through doorways after him, and he even follows the call to kill one of the shifters that impedes him. He continues through the maze of corridors until he encounters Patriarch with his half-siblings, and darts into the nearest room, targeting a window and hurling himself through ot to escape them. Rolling across the rooftops, he bounces down and hits the ground below. He wonders why he had not just leapt from his window, but the voice reminds him that he was not strengthened by the avalbane heart, and he his half-siblings are behind him rather than before.

He follows the compulsion to run, bypassing the Footsteps that seem more transfixed by the storm overheard, and comes face-to-face with a Herald that regards him before moving on. He stands still as he is bade, and as he hears the Heralds chase after the half-brothers he darts on, bursting through the bog until he comes to a clearing, and he finds himself met with Maire and her hunting party.
