How could the boy decline such an offer? The Anatheman’s first response was silence and hidden ponder. No expectations existed for this creature, for he was too young to know other canines of this world. While arrogance was a part of him as any other Lykoi, he was careful in his dealings with others. None was as he, and they did not appreciate the methods he used. But he was but an apprentice, quietly following in a larger villain’s footsteps. But he fully intended to step out of that shadow when time was ripe.
”If you insist,” he offered with a voice of forged kindness, for it was only destruction and death he could offer. The steady pulse of agony continued to torment him as the injured arm continued to seep blood, but he was not discouraged. He had two strong legs and a strong arm to wield a most deadly tool. The stranger before him was crippled by the location of the sword’s smooth bite. An injured wolf was no easy opponent, but easier than a healthy one. Fingers on both hands curled around the sword’s handle. It was necessary to learn to live through agony, after all.
The damned Lykoi swung the blade again as he leaped forward at his target.
