Drew On- Kills Heckett

Moonbrand shone white as Drew swung the longsword up, the weapon illuminating the Crablord as it sheared through its free arm. The taloned limb crashed to the floor, the stump of its elbow pumping blood and foaming froth. Gregor was instantly released, landing with a thump as the Werecrab snapped and slashed at the Werewolf, its scream high-pitched and chilling. Its coordination was gone, the shock of the amputated claw sending it into a blind fury. The children peeled back as Drew rolled clear, hugging the ground, waiting for another opportunity.

Moonbrand flew out again, this time cutting one of Hackett’s legs out from under him, sending him onto his back. The Crablord rocked and rolled on his broad, round body, trying to right himself but finding no purchase with the ground. Its black eyes looked up, grotesque jaws yammering obscenities at the children who had gathered around it. Gregor stood over its head, holding something high and bringing it down with all his might. The severed claw of Lord Hackett, Crablord of the Cluster Isles and Steward of Cutter’s Cove, fell down around his exposed neck, the pincers that had been his own weapon decapitating him like a guillotine.

Drew jabbed Moonbrand’s tip into the earth for support, pushing himself up off his knees until he stood on tired legs.
