“You will not.” An intimation of aggression creeps into the otherwise cold voice as she parries another blow. “You are not the first cult to come here, witch–all of them spouting the same mad dogma, frothing at the mouth to take control of this village.. opportunists, greedy and insane. HIS HOLINESS is the only one fit to herald FINAL JUDGMENT. The only one who can wind back the clock.”
“I.. see.” You clasp your hands together as you take a few steps back. You need to find the giant–break through to the next district while she’s distracted. “I will leave, as you’ve instructed, and–”
“Oh, no, witch. You’ve guided my brother here on false pretense and forced him to fight for nothing. And you’ve just exhausted any mercy I would’ve spared you.” Her voice rings like a clarion call in your ears. “You and your lot will be butchered here, over and over, for every hour of every day, until the SECOND COMING. You should’ve stayed home, fat legs.”
A disembodied gauntlet from her arm, corded and lacquered, wraps its hand around one blade in the ground–and with a crack of force that near breaks the very gauntlet she uses, the sword flies toward your head like a bullet, whizzing through the air, a sliver of steel bisecting your vision and going for your head.
