“Don’t speak back to me like that girl!”
Ekatran ran quickly forward to them and immediatly pushed Shivana back from Ranchard with some force. She fell hard against the dusty ground but remained silent. "How dare you!" Ekatran continued, "you think I cannot see through my eyes?!" He drew his sword and held it in Shivana's direction. She sat frozen at the sight if this blade so close to her and in the hands of the enraged Ekatran. His eyes narrowed. Ranchard began to chuckle, and it slowly grew into a laugh. Ekatran turned into his direction and Shivana let out a sigh. Ranchard's uncontrolale madness had relieved her, for a while, there was little chance Ekatran was going to forget her actions. "You!" Ekatran crouched next to the still bound Ranchard as his laughter grew louder. "You've no business in this, you are no hunter! You were told to capture slaves, you incompetent excuse for a man!" Ranchard stopped his laughter and stared right into Shivana's eyes. "Look at me when I am talking to you!" Ekatran bellowed as he pushed Ranchard's head away from Shivana, hard.

"Come Shivana" he spluttered out, "even a woman as you would be able to do better than this?" Ekatran pushed the icy blade further into Ranchard's side. He gasped for a large breath and then winced in pain. "even a woman as you?" thought Shivana, a woman as her? "Come now Shivana" Ranchard taunted her. She stood up and made her way quickly to the suffering hunter and took her dagger from her boot and held it at arms length from him. At this point the other two remaining hunters found the scene; Ranchard on the floor breathing heavily with Ekatran stood over him with his blade firmly in his side and now Shivana at his throat with the blade though she had yet to draw blood... |
