Day 006: Athvor the Dragon - Junis Attacks
The ground was upon them in no time. Junis let go of the reigns just as Athvor did a barrel roll. His body left the saddle; he pulled his sword from the sheath on his back and lifted it above his head just as his feat landed on an ugly hupar. He brought the sword down on the head of a giant creature with the head of a jackal.
The jackal-ma didn’t even see it coming. It had just pulled its own sword out of one of Junis’ kin. It looked up just in time to watch a flicker of light bounce off the blade. The blade passed through its skull, slitting the skull, the brain and the first two vertebras. As the life drained out of the creature, its head separated into two parts hanging to either side, laying loosely on each shoulder. The jackal-man fell to his knees. Junis pushed on the creatures shoulder with his boot, pulling his sword free.
Soon as his sword was free of the beast he had just enough time to spin around and block the blow of another strange looking creature, this one with the head of a porcupine. Junis counter attacked but was also blocked. The porcupine head then tilted his head down and shot some spines at Junis. Several pierce his shoulder right where his chain-mail armor stopped at the collarbone. They sent sharp pains down and through his arm, which just made him mad causing to take a cross swing from the left to the right, taking the head of this creature with one fell swoop.
