Maybe a lil warning for those who... don't like blood, there'll be some of it in this episode :D
To everyone else Enjoy :D
And another. Pox!! Why can't I hit him?! I'm the best swordsman of Father's sons!! I even beat the tutor!!!
I sent another powerful swing in this maggots direction.
How dare he jump out of the way. I AM Bhaltair, son of Eoghan!! NO ONE insults me and gets away with it!!
I noticed Hector running towards him from the side. Jumped at him. And bit him in the Arm!! Getting what you deserve you scum!!
Good boy, defending your Master.
He looked at me, and I looked back, into his eyes. I could see the fear, finally he acknowledged who was standing before him. That I, Bhaltair, am better than him. That I will bring justice upon him!
Suddenly Bryn appeared behind him out of nowhere and bit into his other arm.
Bryn? That means Roderick must be near.
Just as I thought that, I heard a sharp hiss, a 'wet' thud and the felon fell to his knees.
Right! Kneel before me, Bhaltair!!!
As I looked up, behind the outlaw, brother Roderick stood a dozen paces behind him. Sitting on his horse, lowering his bow. He came towards me.
Suddenly the hounds whined, loosened their bite and backed away from the guy.
I inspected him for a moment, something was off. There was blood... no... flesh on the ground right in front of him. I knelt down to inspect it more closely. Took up a bit.
Flesh... but so warm.
I looked up, at my captive. All of sudden he raised is head and screeched at me. His eyes were black as night. His face was like the insides of an animal. His teeth long as daggers.
I fell to my back, crawled away.
W... W... Wha... WHAT!?!
Slowly he stood up, flesh falling from his limbs as he began to move them. Long black claws came out of his hands.
“Hector...? Hector...?! HECTOR!!!”
I didn't see him anywhere near. Damn dog. No loyalty towards his Master!
That thing was just standing there, watching me. Was it waiting for something?
Suddenly Roderick rode by it. With a swift move it sliced into his horse and chopped of one of Roderick's legs. At first it seemed like neither even noticed they had been hurt. Then the horse fell and Roderick began screaming.
Another swift move from the abomination. Moments later Roderick stopped screaming. Then...
Rod... Roder... h... h... h... his... he... head...!!
It just fell off. Blood was coming out of his neck and flowing onto his steed.
I... i... i... is this still this felon?
Suddenly he turned around and towards me. I began crawling backwards again. After a few steps a tree stopped me. It came slowly closer, taking his time.
I closed my eyes...
Oh please lord, do something against this demon, I don't deserve to die.
...as I opened my eyes it stood directly in front of me. On all fours. Eyeing me down with those eternally black eyes. Drooling all over my legs.
“Please... please... spare me. I... I do not deserve to die... I have done nothing wrong. I'm sure you want stuff, don't you? Right! I can give you everything you want. Jewelry, Clothes, Food, Women. Everything! Just please spare me. I didn't want to hurt... y... you? Or Him? I didn't want to hurt this scu... eh... Bjork... no... Bjorn! I didn't want to hurt him. Just please please spare me.”
Somewhere in those sentences I began crying. I didn't want to die. What had I done wrong? Justice was on my side. My will is justice.
It came closer to my face. Hissing fiercely at me. Drooling more and more on me.
“please... please... let me live... you've taken my brother... isn't he enough?”
It changed it's weight on it's hind legs, moved its claws to my chest.
“...please...”
Then I felt this pressure on my chest, and saw his claws disappear within me. Blood soaking my clothes. Then an unbelievable pain began moving through my whole body.
“...p...p...please...”
It pressed to the sides and ripped Bhaltair apart. Blood spurting all over itself and the surrounding. Both his horse and the hounds had run away a long time ago.
It just climbed on top of a tree.
Hid there.
And fell asleep.

Note from the Author
Ok, this one got a lil bit longer than usual but I thought it'd be fun to show you guys some stuff Bjorn doesn't really witness. And I guess if I have any further chances to do this I will, it was defintiely fun to write.
Thanks for Following, Thanks for reading & Thanks for your feedback (altho I'd love to get some more of that)
