Tear through

LANCE

A few steps from us, I heard it. The sound of the first cannon blast that blaze the trees behind me. I made a mistake of looking back. Seven is there, her back on us, swords at her side, a man almost twice her size towering her.

The moon drip on his bloodlust tattoed face. His long sharp teeth glint under the faint light. An urge to cry out for Seven pulse through me. I didn't.

Crying out won't help Seven at all. I promise I will bring Magnus to the end. So I will. I give her one last glimpse. She twirl and kick the cannon mid air, surprising the burly guy. His finger is on the trigger and he pull it off. Cutting the silence with another explosion.

Seven duck in time. The fire ball hit the dude's tattooed companion creeping at Seven's back. She took the accident as her chance to steal the cannon from him. She swing it in her shoulder and fired. Taking two down at once.
