The three heroes attack the Dragon as best they can - Fred and Velus with
their swords, lunging and hefting and slicing - Astra with a sharp stone,
her sword having been left behind a few feet too far when she agreed to
Fred's plan to distract the DragonMage with her body.
Blood spurted on all the parties, most of it being human - male and female. The DragonMage was winning this fight. Suddenly a bright light appeared and from out of it stepped a figure wrapped in clothe. It held a long blade and lunged at the surprised Dragon with a ferocity that frightened Velus, and brought admiration to the soldier of the north and the warrior-princess of the south. They, too, renewed their attack - Astra took this time to retreat and retrieve her sword. Midst much thwacking and hacking, heaving and hoeing the great wyrm was brought down low. The final blow came from the mysterious stranger, the steel of the blade plunging into the neck of the beast. "Huzzah!!!" yelled out Velus, exhausted from the fierce battle. All were huffing and puffing, their bodies wracked with a tiredness that can only come from an intense burst of activity. The stranger said not a word but took a few steps nearer. The stranger then ran - with an inhuman speed - ran at a most surprised Astra and, with blade-arm outstretched, took Astra's head off at the neck! "NO!!!" cried out Fred as he shook his disbelief and charged the stranger. But his counter-attack proved fruitless for another burst of white-light exploded before him, blinding him, and when it faded the mysterious killer was gone.
