Wester nodded. “Will you give me an honorable burial if you win?
Will you tell Seba I fell in battle and praise my name in the Halls of
Vampire Mountain?”

“No,” Larten croaked, tears springing to his eyes.

Wester had been waiting for the tears. As Larten blinked them away,
Wester thrust forward. His fingers twisted into a hook and he lashed at
Larten’s stomach, hoping to slice it open and end the fight early.
Although Larten was temporarily blinded, he heard Wester close in on
him and shimmied aside as the guard struck. Wester’s nails cut through the
material of Larten’s red cloak but didn’t even scratch his flesh.
