His face dripped with sweat, and his chest was bare. As the second woman and the mounted Sebastian reached his prize as well, he moved down to grasp for a small hatchet hanging from his belt. "You're going to pay for making us chase you, you elven whore," he screamed, loosing the bladed tool and preparing to sink it into her prone body. There was enough time to kill the non-human before the hulking man could pick her up off the ground. If they didn't claim her, she couldn't be allowed to live. "Get back..."<br/><br/>Then there was a loud explosion from afar. The shot was excellent, and Lilian heard something just off to her right. By the time she looked, the man in front of her had already been hit. Sebastian could see it all. One moment the man's expression was a dark sneer, and then the next his head swelled up and exploded like the belly of a rotting animal. Blood dispersed out in all directions, and pieces of flesh and brain and skull landed everywhere. One chunk...of something...landed on Sylria's back. The headless man fell forward, onto his knees, and then his body struck the ground with a loud "clunk." Sebastian could see him bleeding out across the ground.<br/><br/>The rest of the men, three in number, retreated to nearby cover at the sight of their companion's death. Sebastian and Lilian could see them, reaching for bows, notching arrows into place. They planned to fire at them. Sitting there, unmoving, the small group of Dementlieuese were easy targets for the Falkovnian soldiers.
