Kills a Kobalos again

At the bottom of the steps stood a door, where I changed back into my human shape, turning the handle with my free hand. To my surprise, it wasn’t locked, but as I dragged it open, a Kobalos guard swung at me with his sabre, eyes wide with fear.

I avoided his clumsy slash with ease and drove a long blade straight into his throat. His scream ended in a gurgle and he slumped at my feet. Immediately I heard the thunder of approaching footsteps, but I was now free of the castle. A second later I was back in the form of a sphere, soaring aloft, searching for the beam of light from the cauldron. Still there was no sign of Talkus.
