Derek Talks(2)

"I lost my hand to that man's attack.."

Derek continued to recount the story of how he escaped.

…

The situation looked dire for Derek. He had lost an arm. He was losing blood quickly and to make it worse, the blood had left behind a long trail.

He pulled his sword with his other hand and gritted his teeth. He had no option. Flames blazed and the sword turned red due to heat.

Derek used the flat surface of his sword to burn the cut in order to seal the wound. The process was extremely painful. But he endured it without letting even a squeak escape his mouth.

Covered in sweat and extreme exhaustion, Derek continued to move. He avoided the common and usual means of transportation and took the unusual ones.

The pursuit continued. He had to live on the edge every second worrying whether someone would recognize him. The bounty set up on his head sent countless people after him.
