Every story must begin somewhere, but some beginnings are darker than others.
The air around him seemed to change as the assault began. Azek saw nothing...but felt everything. Instincts long suppressed took over in an explosion of movement as the hunter's body seemed to maneuver on its own. Gripping the fabric of his cloak, he spun in place like a violent tornado. Crossbow bolts ripped into the cloth, each slightly misdirected just as the tips penetrated. A few passed through, grazing his stomach and chest, but most remained tangled in the fabric.
Completing his final spin, he dropped to one knee, launching a dagger in one smooth movement. With a loud clang, Arkare's blade intercepted the dagger inches from his throat, sending it tumbling away in a shower of sparks. Enraged, the giant charged forward with deceptive speed, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye.
