Blade shatter

Taking the initiative, I drew two blades and charged toward Eblis, my mount gathering speed as it pounded over the muddy ground. So sudden was my assault that the Shaiksa didn’t have time to bring up the lance properly. I was upon him before he could target me.

My blades flashed in the sunlight, and there was the clash of metal on metal. The one in my right hand found the join between two armored plates on Eblis’s chest. I thrust it upward into the gap, and it jammed. Whether it had penetrated the flesh was impossible to say. But the blade in my left hand shattered against the Shaiksa’s armor, and I tossed away the hilt of the broken weapon. As I turned my mount, ready to attack again, I drew the saber.
