“No, Snuff.” Sigrid barks, more force in her voice than usual. “I’ll do it.”
>”That’s right. You’re not the one after my beard hair, are you, boy?” Leshy grins. “This isn’t your quest, is it? It’s hers. You’re just along for the ride.”You’d open your mouth to protest, but your master seems intent that you don’t involve yourself in this.
>”Now.. it’s only sporting that you strike first. I was the one to propose the contest, after all.” The old man swings the axe up with a grunt and holds it out to your master–but strangely, as she takes it up in her hands, the weight of the axe seems to shift to accommodate her new form. Your master handles the axe with a comfortable sense of ease and finesse.“..Okay, Leshy.” Your master hefts the axe up and down a few times in her hands, a tired look in her eyes. “Let’s get it over with. Kneel.”
>”Of course. Great Witch Sigrid.” The god regards her mockingly, kneeling in the grass before her. The hobbled, hunch-backed old man seems almost infinitely larger now than before. You feel the wind in the air run thin. “Now..” She takes a long, deep breath, eyes shut. “..Off with your head.”
Your master swings the axe down onto the god’s neck. A spurt of blood flies from the cut and spatters her cheek. A gasp of air escapes the god’s lungs as his body collapses onto the ground. A gentle breeze rustles the grass all around you as the head rolls to his side. Your master seems all too comfortable with the killing, though you can’t say for certain all that experience comes from dealing with gods.
“There. Done.” Sigrid sighs as she turns you. “Snuff? You should turn around. You’re not going to like what happens next.”
“..Lady Sigrid?” You watch your master kneel in turn.
