Jan #8
After the cracking noises everyone froze in silent shock before the bounty hunter warned Jan that this was far from enough to put the titan out for a good. As if he heard that remark, Orcus got back on his feet, sending cloud of splinters everywhere around him. Fortunately for the writer he already wasn´t there, as he quickly jumped back according to the Bogs warning.
“Are you kidding me?”
He asked contemptuously.
“Who would like to read about “Whining giant” like you? No, there is the true hero of this story!”
With fiery zeal in his voice he pointed towards bogs.
“The assassin who turned his back on his previous life and started to hunt down the most dangerous criminals in our Blue because of his love for a beautiful mermaid you guys kidnapped!”
Yes that was the right story he wanted to tell. Now the only thing that remained was to live through this mess as the leader of the “Gravediggers” ordered one of his henchmen to take him down.
“Wonderful, why am I the one who got stuck with range fighter?”
The writer sighed for himself as he jumped behind the closest table, tearing it down to use it as an improvised cover against the incoming nails he wasn´t fast enough however and so while his upper body was disappearing behind the cover, one or two of this stings found their way into his leg. One just cut his skin while the second stabbed his thigh. However it was far from enough to stop his body, that was created by many centuries of careful selective breading to be as tough as possible.
“That stings...”
He cursed for himself, while kicking the table against Shirki with his healthy leg, just at the moment Orcus unleashed his gong.
“Urgh….”
Covering his eyes to at least somehow protect his ears, Jan rolled sideways to find cover behind yet another table.
