Chapter 48: Inside the Tower

The Urts exploded into chaos; they leaped into the air, grabbing for the stone, a second too late, the brown Urt spinning in confusion, Laura's guards releasing her to try and catch it. Laura disappeared under them as the brown Urt roared to his force, "Get that stone!" Kalann's sword flashed into his hand. Laura reappeared rolling out from the chaos in a cloud of dust, gripping an Urtish blade close to her chest. The mob of Urts smashed into each other in a savage frenzy. Taken off guard, they lashed out at each other, and they descended into a roiling mass of blood and flesh.

Screaming in rage, the brown Urt swung its axe right at Kalann. But the warrior was ready; he struck the weapon with his own and kicked out, forcing the Urt back. Laura, still rolling, barreled into it, sending it crashing to the ground.
