Cold Redemption
“The Lhosir soldiers saw him just as he caught sight of the caves where they were heading. The Devil’s Caves, marked by piles of stones and bones. One of the riders turned and charged.
Gallow lifted his walking staff as though it was a javelot, hurled it and threw himself into the snow, rolling under the rider’s thrust. The staff caught the Lhosir in the face, knocking him backwards. Gallow didn’t wait to see whether he fell. He ran on towards the other two who were already cutting down the ...scattering screaming Marroc. ‘Oribas!’ He could see the Aulian. Three Marroc were already dead, sprawled crimson streaks across pristine white. The rest were floundering through the snow, running as best they could with their hands tied behind their backs.
Oribas threw himself down beside one of the dead Marroc. The two remaining Lhosir riders split. One skewered the nearest Marroc while the other turned his spear at Gallow and charged. Gallow twisted away from the thrust.MoreLess
