Short story. Number twenty-one of the Tales of the Executioners, stories about the vampires elite "police force". Tellith is on vacation when he gets a call that the citadel is under attack! Is it the Hand of Death and his army? Will anyone survive? Can Tellith get back in time to do anything? And if he does, will he end up dead, too? It's a race cross country that he might just lose.
