Holding his sword above his head was the only thing that'd saved Bewa from being crushed. The sword cut a hole through the Commander's chest cavity and while Bewa was covered in ink-black blood, had a few broken bones and lacerations, he was alive and able to push through. He stood on top of the...
Bewa weaved through the falling debris, allowing his Dahab Ah nature to seep through slightly as he rushed to meet Hamada's Commander. The large Dahab-Ah roared down at him, speaking in their shared tongue.
"Half-blood scum! Forgotten seed! You dare challenge me here! I will crush you...
The demon's body rose from the top of the tower, a massive body that was larger than any of the surrounding buildings. Gold wings unfolded from his back, casting a shadow over the city. He was dappled in black, gold, and white. His shriek shook the ground beneath Bewa.
But the half-blood wasn't...
Bewa finished the last of the archers, clearing the gap between the buildings and splitting one of them in twain. Several wounds were healing at once, burning through his energy reserves. He was getting hungry again.
There's food all around you, a dark voice that wasn't his own whispered in his...
Bewa groaned as he stood to his feet, his stomach full and his body back at full strength. The big man sure was talkative and Bewa wondered if he knew as many fighting moves as he did words. The guards cut off every exit from the marketplace and archers perched themselves on the rooftop, their...
When Bewa had finished his prayer, he got to his feet and stretched. "Doesn't take a lot of guts to fight a bunch of weaklings," he said dismissively. "And you're askin' a lot of questions..." Hungry, Bewa walked to a food stand. The vendor cowered behind his table and Bewa could hear his heart...
Bewa gave the man a once over. He was very large with bulging muscles and a simple face. He was unarmored and unarmed so fighting him was out of the question. The tenets of Onija-Ogun forbade it and Bewa wouldn't dare defy those laws. No matter how badly his Dahab Ah blood boiled at the thought...
The city guards seemed to freeze. Bewa looked past them and saw a massive man shouting at them. Beside him, the guard Bewa had cut through was no longer bleeding and seemed to be doing well. Had the big man healed him?
No, Bewa thought. I didn't cut deep enough. With the guards distracted, Bewa...
Before the guard could fully draw his sword, Bewa's own blade cut deeply into his trapezius. The guard seemed to be frozen from shock. Blood trickled through the mouth slits of his helm and he stumbled back. When he fell, the other city guards flocked in Bewa's direction.
His grin grew wider...
The guard moved his hand to his sword hilt and Bewa's eyes lit up. Come on, he thought. Put your hand on that blade so I can cut you down and take your armor.
"Is that a threat, boy?" the guard asked as he reached. Once he'd grasped his sword, he pulled it from its sheath and the metal sang...
