Soaring Phoenix
RONAN MACMILLAN LEANED against the bulkhead, detesting the tied
bandages on his stubbed wrist. Sometimes he swore he could feel his absent
fingers and hand move. Hell, his palm even itched. Doc said it was phantom
pains, an illusion—his mind hadn’t accepted that his right hand was gone.
Visions of the horrific island battle with the demon Zuto flashed through
his mind. He couldn’t shake them. Zuto slicing off his hand. The grotesque
spider. And his promise… oh his promise…

He hated that damnable demon and his blasted curses. Because of him,
the crew turned into vampires during every full moon. If they didn’t feed,
the thirst nearly drove them mad.
But now the demon had a new trick—one Ronan couldn’t refuse.
All he had to do was find a mermaid, a water elemental, then hand her
over to Zuto. How bad could it be? It’s not like the mermaid was human.
The demon needed her blood, then he’d promised to restore Ronan’s hand.
He could be a warrior again.
A cool sea breeze swept over his face, and salt tingled his lips. He
turned away from his stump and slid it inside his pocket. The ocean
stretched out for miles, and not a cloud marred the blue sky. He loved the
sea, but how could he stay aboard the ship a cripple? He was a warrior, a
pirate, not a deck swabber.
Kane motioned for him at the wheel. “I’ve ordered the men away from
the stern.”
“Why?”
“Mariah needs to talk to you about what happened on the island.”
Blimey, did she know about the deal? He should have known. She was a
witch—a powerful one, but he couldn’t admit it. Not yet, and he played
dumb. “She bloody thinks I donna know what happened?” His raised his
stump. “The damn demon cut off my hand.”
“Aye,” Kane agreed. “There’s more to it than that. It’s Lark.”
Ronan scanned the ship but didn’t see his friend. “What about him?”
Kane clasped his shoulder. “A time spider snatched him, flinging him to
a different time. We have no idea where he is. Or if he’s even alive.”
Ronan’s heart skipped a beat. “Another spider? By the gods, the first
was terrible enough.” He forced himself to stand; brushing away Kane’s
outstretched hand. “I can stand on my own.”
Kane lowered his arm. “Mariah needs to talk to you. She thinks you
might be the key in finding her brother.”
“Me? Why?”
“Bloody hell if I know.” Kane tilted his head. “Now go.”
Ronan wanted to argue, but the captain’s order was law and left little
argument. Ronan sighed and headed to the stern.
Mariah waved at him to join her and William. He maneuvered between
crewmen busy cleaning and repairing the ship. He couldn’t even hold a
bloody mop and swab the deck.
