Pall slashed and hacked through the forms of Goutetsu, black ichor still spilling from his grisly wound. Hyresu dodged and danced away fluidly through the forms of Kifune, but Pall stepped into a pool of shadows and disappeared, reappearing behind him to strike a savage blow.
Hyresu sidestepped barely in time but was sent tumbling and lay in a heap. Pall howled his victory and leapt into the air with an overhead swing, but Hyresu swept like a dervish and spun to his feet, Phaeton making a circular arc.
Pall landed and stood very still as blue flames crackled straight through his entire length. He split cleanly in half, ichor spilling in a torrent and fell away to either side. Hyresu wiped Phaeton clean on the sparse grass.
"I'll give you peace, villain. We'll not meet a third time."
Hyresu set the remains ablaze and watched it burn away to brittle bone and ash, then retrieved his mount and rode to rendezvous with the party, northeast towards the ruined capital of Graeyolm.
