2.97 The jump

But instead of answer, he got something else. Something which he didn't expected. The old man kicked Lycaon to the side. He rolled on the ground and stopped by hitting the tree on his back. He moaned, holding his stomach.

"What... are you do..ing?" Lycaon said while trying to stand on his feet. Unsuccessfully, as old man came and pushed him back with his stick. He again fall back. Placing his palms on the ground.

Lycaon looked at him with confusion. He again tried to stood up while asking again. But before he could speak a word, the old man kicked him back. He fell again. This time he hit the floor hard, causing pain in his back and head.

"How can you go?" The old man said again.

Groaning in pain, Lycaon gazed at the old man. Now he was furious at him. Dragging his form back. He managed to stand. When the old man got closer to hit him again, he dodged it and held the stick of the old man.

"Have you gone mad?" Lycaon said in a little raised voice.
