Beast and human blood mingling in the air. He hadn't even heard a yelp from either. Beautiful work, that enlivened him all the more.
They'd taken the vanguard and stragglers, leaving only the diffuse knot of soldiers in the main hunting party. Three in particular were sticking close. Besides them, there were only a few left, he could see them as well. Closer to where Ayatan was killing. He'd draw their attention as well, then, give her more of an opening.
He came in from behind the trio, moving quickly. Aiming for arteries. Inner thigh for the first. The next one began drawing his sword, giving him an opening to drive the blade into the armpit.
By the time he'd pulled it free, the third one is circling around his bleeding compatriots, preparing to attack. He danced backward, maneuvering the man into position, so that all three stood before him. Oh lesser lights, sparks that may yet catch fire.
A searing blast of flame split the air in front of him, the soldiers neatly caught in its center. He leapt in through the smoke to finish off the final one, the other two already crumpling. Shouts from the remaining soldiers told him he'd done as intended. And he'd even get a chance to see what Ayatan did to them. How lovely!
