The Jewel of Turmish
The Jewel of Turmish
“Stonefur sought to sever the druid’s hamstring, leaving him crippled. Haarn’s effort to escape helped the wolfs fangs cut deep furrows around his ankle, but it also kept Stonefur from gaining a decent grip. Haarn reversed his hold on the fighting club, holding it instead by its thicker end. He rammed the club’s narrow end down, managing to aim it between Stonefur’s jaws.
The club’s wooden haft clacked against the wolfs teeth. Haarn shoved the club forward, jamming it into Stonefur’s jaws, widen...ing the distance between them.
Stonefur howled in pain and frustration, still struggling to maintain a grip on the druid.
Ignoring the pain in his ankle, Haarn took a fresh hold on the knife in his other hand. He gazed at the wolfs exposed throat, knowing bis opponent wouldn’t have time to move before he was able to slide the blade into his neck. Still, even knowing the wolf would kill him in a moment if the chance presented itself, Haarn hesitated. A druid was trained to kill out of mercy, whether to ease an animal’s suffering or to control overpopulation, and sometimes to eat, though feeding oneself at the unnecessary expense of an animal was frowned upon.MoreLess
