He flinched at the pain from his shattered collarbone. Mythago was bleeding from the thin lines of the quill, but still standing. She swung the flat of the semicolon into Berandor's bad arm and knocked him sprawling.He looked up as her shadow loomed over him. The edge of the semicolon glittered in the flickering torchlight. He fumbled for the broken quill as the semicolon's point hovered over him--The semicolon came down and Berandor caught it in the two halves of the quill, turning the deadly punctuation's powerful thrust to the side and driving it into the floor of the arena. The semicolon's point sank into the stone and seized up. Stunned, Mythago tugged at her weapon to try and free it, and Berandor used that moment of distraction to drive the sharp point of the quill into her chest.Mythago staggered away from the semicolon and clutched at the quill. Bright blood oozed around its shaft. Berandor said a silent prayer of thanks. Lawyers may not have hearts, but a hit to the aorta can still kill them, he thought with utter relief."Cool....trick," she gasped. "Thanks," Berandor said shakily. He held up his right hand, the one that still had its thumb, and crossed his fingers. "First Draft Swooping Crane Return Strike. Me and Chow Yun Fat--we're like this.""Which...one...is...you?..." Mythago burbled, and collapsed.Berandor turned away from the body of his foe. His last burst of energy ebbed away. He grabbed the handle of the impaled semicolon for support, and felt an odd thrumming through his bones. He looked at the weapon in surprise. Were those runes on the blade?.....----Congrats, Berandor! Now you can deal with all the young punks and their hotshot keyboards for a while. I'm gonna go have a margarita. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
