[QUOTE="talien, post: 3886717, member: 3285"] [b]Hand of the Master - Part 4b: Blade and Scythe[/b] Elabac was stripped from the waist up and tied to a wooden chair. On either side of Elabac was a dwarf holding a hot poker. Burns on Elabac’s flesh testified to the torture. A sinister-looking dwarf stood in front of him. His ruddy brown skin was encrusted with grime and ash. He was shaven and beardless. A scar ran down the back of his scalp. Two more dwarves flanked their leader. Kham recognized him. It was Lorund Ranenor, a Nol Dappan dwarf. Lorund cleared his throat. “I tire of your stubbornness. It is obvious your ages spent over the forge have toughened you. How willing would you be to allow one you loved to be sent to oblivion? Will you craft a trophy for me?” Elabac looked up, defeat in his eyes. But still he wearily shook his head. “Pity,” said Lorund. As he pulled his arm back, Kham could see Alsef’s soul shard on an upright log before him. A powerful blow from the cruelly shaped blade shattered the gem into a multitude of fragments. Even before some of the shards imbedded themselves in Elabac, he let out a scream of newfound terror and anguish. The scream was joined by Lorund’s bellow of surprise as Fleshripper jutted from his side. Kham appeared next to him. The guards spun to retaliate, only to face a wave of colors emanating from Sebastian’s open palms. Two of them collapsed, blinded. Cal waded into combat with a roar. The two dwarves flanking Lorund were momentarily surprised, but the ss’ressen’s charge snapped them out of it. Lorund spun to face his attacker, but Kham had collapsed to the ground, Fleshripper in hand. He raised his axe, only to recognize the armored Milandisian who entered the tent. “You!” shouted Lorund. “You killed Neyadis! I’ll gut you from crotch to craw!” With a bellow of rage, the dwarf charged towards his opponent, stepping over Kham. And all the while, Kham dreamed. [/QUOTE]
