When Huntley reached for his ax, I kne this was going to end

Huntley swung for Klaus, and they becaround, and he slowly reer from his neck and made more blood spill onto the snow

Two rushed for Huntley, and he battled three foes all at once

The others ca out of their mouths

“Oh, this is going to be fun”

I had time, so I sheathed my sword and withdrew , held ht in the neck,him fall to his knees just like his co and pierced the closest one in the thigh

That didn’t slow him down at all

My sas back in my hand, and I blocked the blade aiy, but Ihim trip on the snow and fall back

That gave me a moment to address the other, who had risen, to strike his sword up and down, push hi If I could defeat hied with the others

It would be et away

My attacker was too fast, met my blade as if he knehere it would be in just aback to his feet, and I was running out of time

So I did the first thing that came to mind

I spat in his face

He winced when the war him momentarily

I stabbed ut then kicked him off

The other grabbed his sword froround and rose to meet me

But I was faster

I slammed my sword down into his neck, deep into his chest cavity, and killed him instantly

Huntley was still engaged, taking on Klaus and the other two They surrounded hied to turn andthem away He moved so fast, faster than I could really see

I’d never seen anyone fight like that
