Synopsis
The two nomads had been tracking Dirshan for over two days; now it was time to end this menace to his back trail...
As they approached the rolled-up blankets below that simulated his sleeping body, Dirshan rose to his bull height on the ruin above them. Ajavelin was in one hand. One mightly heave of his are and the spear, aided by gravity and the powe of his throw, plunged out the darkness and transfixed the first Kalinthian as he bent over the file. The second nomad has one chance to look up before the secon javelin found his body. It plunged deep into and through his stomach, pinning him to the ground. Except for his moand, the night was again quiet.
Dirshan remained on the parapet above, careful not to outline himself against the moon behind. No movement came from the ground except the heaving form of the second nomad clutching at his belly. But it was buried too deep and he could but remain beside his dead companion.
Finally sure he was alone, Dirshan came down from his perch and walked over to the struggling man. In the moonlight he was clearly visible, eyes dark pools dilated from the pain. His hands, blood from tugging at the shaft, fluttered feebly at his stomach. Dirshan watched him for a second. At another maon he removed his dagger from the sheath and cut his throat. One final gurgle and the Kalinthisn subsided, his soul with whatever dark gods he worshiped. Dirshan wiped the blade on the corpse's jerkin and stood erect...
Right into the arrow that slammed into his back...
